Another person in a rut

L is feeling upset.

Same story. Same supposition. Another jerk. Her question to me “Why am I always so unlucky? Why do I always meet jerks?”

My reply “That is because you always go for the same type of guys. Same character. Same traits. Same profile. The same reasons why it didn’t work out.”

Her reply “It is hopeless. The “Can Make it” men are all jerks and the nice ones are all boring.”

So now, she is in the state where she thinks men are hopeless and she should just surrender to singlehood. Until the next time.

I just can’t seem to make her see that if the men that she goes for all turned out to be jerks. Then, maybe they should not fall into the “Can make it” in her estimation. Maybe, she should try giving some of the nice but boring guys a chance. After all, some people are just shy. And I think alot of it is her stereotyping too.

There are a couple of things I want to tell her but I know she will not take it in. She is too headstrong for advice. Haiz…So, it is another person in a rut. Different way but constantly repeating the cycle. Why do we all keep repeating the same mistake, over and over again?
