Would someone please explain this to me?

Why is it that I attract all the wrong types of guys?
I’m a kind hearted person who has good morals and values with high standards. My friends and family would describe me as a sweetheart, kind, loving, and caring. I’m honest, loyal, trustworthy, faithful, respectful, would do anything for anyone, etc. but for some reason I attract guys who have been to jail, do drugs, cheaters, abusers, liars, have kids they don’t take care of, etc.
why??? Why can’t I meet someone who’s more like me???

It could if you are all the beautiful things they aren't and opposites attract and the way you described yourself you must be beautiful.

@freedom45 true. Guys at times are difficult. There are good guys outback there.. @Quietbeauty life’s tough but sooner or later you’ll find a good man

No disrespect intended but are you also a doormat who can’t say no? Predators tend to seek out those types because they can take advantage of them.

After reading all the other responses, I'm going to throw in my two cents worth, because everyone seems to think in some way you do this to yourself.

The fact is, victimizers are very good at recognizing the vulnerable ones. It's like we have a big red V tattooed on our forehead. It says we are gentle, and likely to fear being judgemental, because we might offend the person. So, they play to that. If you're accepting, they start to open up and show a vulnerability of their own. And once they've got you hooked, they begin to abuse your gentle nature and by then you're kind of trapped because, if you start to back off, they accuse [b]you [/b] of being the trickster, and lay the guilt on you.

If, in the beginning, you doubt them and question their motives,,they put on the kicked puppy act and start in with the guilt, immediately, because they see that you will bend over backward to appear unprejudiced.

We don't ask for this, but we do attract it by being too kind to call them as we see them. Try this. One red flag is all it should take for you to say back off, you're getting too close to quickly. You will then see them bring out the big guns. Playing on your emotions. Accusing you of misunderstanding their intentions. They may apologize, but they will not back off graciously. They will try to make you sorry for injuring them. Our kindness is our weakness. We become victims because we don't want to be the ones who hurt people. Narcissists, sociopaths, and psychopaths are very good at spotting the vulnerable.
We attract what we think we are worth deep down inside.

You need to rethink this being nice to everyone. You are not obligated to be nice to these kinds. Adjust your radar. Learn to say get lost immediately on meeting such types.

I’m agree with what @SW-User has said, that you are the only one who can reply to this question.
You could wonder yourself some questions to help you: Do you also feel some kind of attraction to them? Do you see them as somehow “needy” people? Do you show yourself or are very compassionate and understanding with people, no matter if they screwed it up at some point in their lives?
Normally, people who struggles with their lives or had made errors in the past find themselves very comfortable with people who are ready to give them a hand and not judge them for their past.

I agree with Nathan2269.....
Just relax....focus on you.
When you're not looking and you least expect it.....a nice guy will come along

Maybe look at places like tge library or a book club or even church or a walking trail.You will find better guys there than in bars.
Quietbeauty · 36-40, F
@Butterflykisses24 I don’t drink so I don’t go to bars
Butterflykisses24 · 51-55, F
@Bootsiebaby Yeah my local bar isn't bad either but I was just suggesting as she's seeming to meet losers to look elsewhere.
Butterflykisses24 · 51-55, F
@Quietbeauty Also the gym.Try there.

@GreensCornbreadYams are you familiar with the story of Job? You are much as his friends who accused him. Think on this before you speak further.

It is not that she has never done wrong, nor has she said so, but you cause her to stumble as they caused Job to stumble.

@GreensCornbreadYams you did the exact same as the friends of Job, this woman is not wicked, she is injured, she defends herself in advance because she feels she needs to, it is not that she exalts herself.

Maybe you are looking in the wrong place.

Have you heard of the law of attraction? It’s very important
Quietbeauty · 36-40, F
@Lizabee so your saying I’m a person who would go to jail, do drugs, cheat, etc? That’s pretty low and judgemental
Lizabee · F
@Quietbeauty I didn’t say that. The point is you attract the energy you put out. Be the person you want.
Quietbeauty · 36-40, F
@Lizabee what about my mom then? She’s the most loving, caring, compassionate, understanding, generous, thoughtful respectful etc person I have ever known, did she attract my father who turned out to be an abuser, liar, had an affair, is two faced, is loyal to no one, narcissistic, etc. am I supposed to believe that she attracted that kind of a person?

You need a robot that is programmed with all your traits and personality. Be a robosexual.
