love yourself is a meme?

You think success will somehow deter the POS guys even more?

Go to church, somewhere peasants are ready to mingle

I'm a buddhist. Have friends from my Buddhist collective but they're all a fair bit older than me.

Grew up Catholic and met plenty of awful blokes at church/ Catholic school.

I don't know about material success but I guess I thought being a happy and fulfilled person would make me less of a vulnerable target to nasty men.

You'll be more likely to attract good people, but just as likely to attract bad people as well. It's just a case of judging them better. Don't let the bad ones make you feel bad about yourself, at least you have the courage to try, so keep your hopes up high and your head down low.

LOL op your picture. I remember seeing that in my psychology textbook years ago.

>judging them better

I'd love to be able to do this. I don't know if I'm a poor judge because I'm naive or what but i never see through men's tricks.

Like this last guy I went out with told me he loved me and that he saw a future together then broke up with me a week later out of the blue. I meant nothing to him it was just pump n dump.

There's no sure fire approach, but a few ideas are taking it slow, meaning that you wait on sex for a bit, try to get to know guys a bit longer before sex, work on becoming less naive.

Unfortunately it's not foolproof. For example, I like to think I'm a pretty straightforward guy who tries not to be a dick or manipulate people. But with my last girlfriend, I said the same kind of stuff your last guy did, and I thought I meant it. But I started to realize that I wanted to mean it more than I actually genuinely meant it. One night I looked up at her and realized "shit, I can't see myself doing this for the rest of my life with her" and I ended it quickly, instead of prolonging the pain for us both.

Good luck anon.

Ugh, that hits me in the feels. Starting to worry I'm just the kind of girl who is nice enough to spend a couple of months with, but ain't never gon be someone's 'the one'.
