Received this one from a dear young thing who lives in New South Wales:
Dear Aunt Sybil,
I've known my best friend since secondary school. He's the sweetest man on earth and would do anything for me. I know he wants to take our friendship to another level, but I'm only attracted to wild, very bad men who treat me like shite. Sorry for my language, but it's the truth.
Why do I only want to sleep with losers?

Okay, my lovelies. Put your thinking hats on and ponder this one. Give her your best advice.
A.S.S.A.
This is an example of an advice thread in Love On The Darkside. The rest of our forum involved an in depth discussion of mostly love and sexual topics. If you are interested in Love On the Darkside, let me know. Sorry, age limitations of 18+.
a question i would ask Karen is did she have a father in her life, i've notice with a lot of girls who only date asshole men, 9 out of 10 times the father was not there, or here and there. Thus these girls never learn how a man is supposed to treat a woman, they learn from asshole men, cause thats all they know. Me i would give the guy a try.
I used to be the same if he wasn't covered in tats, had a rapsheet, and so forth i didn't want nothing to do with the guy. Now that i'm a bit older and wiser, i've gone in the other direction with men, and i've been really surprised and happy with my results.
sadly that is how some of us have to learn, we never really listen to the wise old gurus but would rather suffer and such at the hands of jerks and low lifes. But i try and teach my wisdoms when i can and hopefully save one person from the heartaches of love.
This should be posted in your Mentorship thread, not in a new thread of it's own. Thank you.
