Likenesses attract each other.

If you decide to play the bad guy you will either get a bad girl who knows no respect and cannot be trusted or someone who has welcome written across their forehead who will expect you to treat her badly because everybody treats her badly.

Just pursue things that you are interested in and meet some like minded girls who will see you for what you are.

You will ultimaltely do much better through being yourself.

love-him agony auntNever change for anyone.. this girl cheated once and you gave her another chance she cheated again, she isnt worth ur time or thaughts.. If someone treats you bad then thats their problem, it isnt your fault. There are women who dont cheat, who are respectful and loyal, and you will find someone. personaly i think u shouldnt act as a bad guy, as this isnt exactly a good thing n it isnt u bein true to yourself and others. hope i helped =) mail me if you would like to talk x

I am basically here to back up RCN. He's always got good advice and this is not different.

You could try the bad guy thing, but realize that if it isn't you, it will fail in the end. You can only fake it for so long and if that is what she wants, how will it be when you can fake it no more?

A lot of us are also attracted to what is bad for us, a personality that doesn't exactly fit. Could this be you?

You want to treat girls right, but it seems like she may have taken advantage of that or just didn't want to be treated right. Realize it isn't you, it is her.

More girls than you would think have low self esteem and are attracted to the bad boy act. You act slightly interested and treat her like crap. Always late, out of money or gas, need to have her do your laudry or run an errand. She feels lucky that a guy who does't seem to care about anything is giving her some attention. In this way she feels good about get what little she can get.

Forget her. Forget her. Forget her.

Move on. Tons of girls out there. Most won't hurt you like this one has. You already know what she's like, now you can either learn from this and remove yourself from a position to get harmed or you can keep messing with her and keep getting hurt.

It's your choice. But in a way, YOU are actually chasing the "bad people" just as much as she is. You're still chasing the bad girl even after you know just how bad she is. You're busy putting that energy into someone who is obviously not worth your efforts.

A male reader, rcn United States +, writes (29 September 2007):

rcn agony auntDon't change yourself to get a girl. That's doing it under false pretenses and it won't work out.

Beginning with the relationship you described and other previous ones, do a relationship inventory. First list the qualities that attracted you to them. Next list any behaviors you notices that may have given you a heads up to this poor behavior. Next, since people love talking about themselves, list what they mentioned about their past relationship and how they ended their relationship.

What you're doing is looking at details to see if there were signs that they displayed which you didn't think about at the time, but may have lead up to this happening.

This girl has no self respect and no respect for you or the relationship. I hope this benefits you. Take care, and there are people out there looking for the opposite of the bad guy.
