We gay men are are constantly in a state of assessing whether the men we meet can make good
relationship partners. Makes one wonder how we get it wrong so many times huh? Here are 3 reasons we attract the 'wrong' men to us:
1. Selfishness
is often confused with confidence. When a guy is all about his wants and needs,
he often puts up a fight to do things his way. He also spends little time
asking what you want to do and simply moves forward making plans that are to
his liking. To a lot of women this may seem like the guy is just being manly
and taking control. After all, who doesn’t like a confident guy who knows what
he wants and takes charge to get it. However, there is a fine line between confident
and selfish. A confident guy will still make sure you feel heard and strive to
ensure that your wants and needs are met. A selfish man will argue why his way
is better. If he constantly alters plans that you’ve made, and accuses you of
being the inflexible one, this man isn’t self-assured. He’s self-absorbed.
2. You are
constantly seeking approval. Ever wonder why you love a challenge? Ever ask
yourself why you don’t like the guys that like you? It could be that you aren’t
looking for love but instead are addicted to seeking approval, and the selfish
man will keep you in a constant state of that. Since you don’t realize why he
never quite seems satisfied with you, your daily MO is aiming to please. It
becomes a rush when he is happy and accepting of you, but a terrible let down
when he doesn’t. This indicates that you are dating with your ego instead of
your heart. The heart wants to find comfort and contentment, but the ego wants
to seek approval and gain validation. Therefore anyone that you sense you have
to “win over” is enticing. The sad part is that if you ever do triumph and
conquer, you’ll just get bored and move on.
So much truth spilled in this post. ;)
