I once heard a quote that went something like; "We keep falling in love with different versions of the same person."
I'm 29 and in my earlier days I can say that was pretty true but now that I've broken that habit I've noticed an uncomfortable truth.
I seem to encounter only 3 types of women.
Type 1: The Cling-On. You know this one. After one date they're hooked. Calling you, Texting and adding you on Facebook a little to much and a little too soon. Hitting you up the night after the date to see when you're gona go out again. These girls also tend to state the obvious and then add: "See I understand you. I'm not like the other girls. I wont hurt you." or my favorite; "You'd make a great dad." and its like... "Umm... You realize this is the 2nd time we've gone for coffee?"
Type 2: "You can't please me": These girls are arguably the most damaged of the three types. No matter what you do, say or how decent the Chemistry is they've learned to treat a man like he couldn't possibly ever please her. These girls are the most likely to cheat and typically spend just a little to much time poking at their phone and casually dropping the fact other boys are hitting her up. They will say and do anything to convince you you're not good enough and they are uninterested but will never be too far away from your click and become borderline Psychotic when you loose interest.
Type 3: "I'm not good enough for you.": This girl is really the kind I'd be most interested in. They are typically pretty down to Earth and don't play the type of games the other two do. I'll have great chemistry with these girls and their very flirty. Once things get more intimate they imminently respond by clamming up but will be very quick to say things like; "I really shouldn't admit this but I don't think i'm good enough for you." and "I just got out of a very serious 4month relationship about a year ago and I'm just not ready."
All three archetypes SCREAM "I have no self esteem" but only Type 3 is honest about it. "Well thats the keeper." some would say but frankly I can't stay attracted to any women who doesn't have any self esteem.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who encounters this.
