Wanting the guys we know are bad for us

[Matt608]

To clarify, there is no such thing as 'bad' guys or 'good' guys. Good and bad doesn't exist.

However, guys [MENTION=23329]pman117[/MENTION] described in his post, i.e. falling for guys that don't want you back, treat you bad, etc -- that's what I'm talking about. I don't fall for guys like that, or stay in love with them if I initially liked them and they turned out to treat me like shit.

But I don't believe in the concepts of good and bad, and I am not talking about it in that context at all. I also think it's a very mistaken way to see the world and people. To be clear.

Old Dave Mason song:
"There ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy
There's only you and me and we just disagree"

I agree with what you're saying. And yeah, we may be attracted to these guys because they're charming, sexy, whatever. It happens. But we need to have enough of a sense of self worth to walk away as soon as we see them for what they are. It isn't easy, and I'm speaking from experience here. But I want a good life, I want to be content all of the time and happy some of the time, so I figure the short term pain of dumping them is worth the long term gain.
