Why am I still so attracted to him when I know he is a cheat and a liar?

Question - (13 May 2011) 2 Answers - (Newest, 14 May 2011)
A age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I have completely fallen for the wrong guy. He is a liar and a cheat. How do I know this? Because he sent my best friend to the other side of the world. She, like i, had a crush on him. When they were going out, she said he was amazing. But it turned out he was sleeping with other women. Now, though, he has set his sights on me.

I have this uncontrollable attraction to him. Why is this? I know him and what he is like.

Can anyone explain these feelings for me?

A male reader, anonymous, writes (14 May 2011):

Attractive women, with low self esteem, lacking in self respect, fall for this type of guy.

Why?

Because they think that they "will be the one" who will change him and he will think that "she is so great he wouldn't cheat on her" and if this is what happens it would mean that she was "so great" and "so hot" and "so wonderful" and "so nice" that her self esteem issues all go away.

But, it doesn't work that way. He does what he does, she does what she does, and both walk away with all the problems they had before, and possibly more.

Heard him say and of this?

"so great"

"so hot

"so wonderful"

"so nice"

"so cute"

"so awesome"

"so sexy"

Yeah, women with no self respect just eat this shit up.

Well, a guy who really thinks you are "all that" will think you realize it, and might tell you something like, "you know, I really like you".

Think about it.

How do you feel about yourself and your own life? Because usually when a woman falls for a guy this crap, it means she's terribly unhappy, or hugely lacking in self respect.
