I believe we attract what we need to learn, not necessarily what we want at the time

Example: A person that has trouble forgiving others may keep attracting people who will betray them. Not b/c they deserve the betrayal or b/c it's karma but moreso b/c the only way to learn how to forgive is to actually BE in a situation where forgiveness is required

That's a great concept but what about a woman who attracts a man that beats the shit out of her? What does she need to learn?click to expand

She needs to learn self-esteem. Self-respect. The art of loving herself & being her own best friend. The concept of having a backbone. She needs to learn what it means to not settle & not put up with bull.
Again, doesn't mean that people deserve the bad things they're put through, BUT even the worsts of situations can make you stronger & give you an opportunity to learn from it
The woman who continually ends up with abusers is still attracting them for a reason. It's probably b/c she hasn't learned the value of self-esteem/respect. When she finally does, the abusers won't consider her "prey" anymore.
Abusers target certain women for a reason & never approach other certain women for a reason. If they can pick up on the fact that you're "good prey" from just looking at you/watching you, that indicates that you're wearing the fact that you have low self-esteem on your shouldersclick to expand

Or the girl who swears she wants wants committment but yet keeps attracting commitment phobes. It's probably b/c sub-consciously she is NOT ready for committment but only thinks she is

Maybe what an individual needs to learn is that they share the same feelings as the other person they keep attracting & then when they're AWARE of that, they then re-evaluate themselves and proceed accordingly. .click to expand

@Curious: What we attract is 1 thing. WHAT we do with who we attract is another. Even though abuse is never ok, you must 1st understand the nature of abuse & how abusers find their prey. They can easily sniff out low self-esteem. Who's fault is that?! It's not the abuser's (someone she doesn't know yet) fault b/c she has low self-esteem. However, if he puts his hands on her, it's not her fault b/c the abuser was probably abusive before she came along.
It's like the guy whose a commitment phobe. He's annoyed b/c he keeps attracting women that seem to REALLY really want committment.

@Curious: I never said that abuse victims deserved being abused. Never said that
What I SAID was that women who are continual abuse victims were somehow considered "prey" to an abuser.
The question is what are these women doing/saying or NOT doing/saying that's making an abuser consider them "prey" in the 1st place.
Doesn't mean that the woman is at fault all b/c the abuser is abusive. BUT it also means that the abuser isn't at fault if the woman he wants to abuse had low self esteem way before he even approached her
People always talk to abuse victims & hear their story but rarely do people actually try to get into the minds of abusers.
Abusers will tell you that there are certain things they pick up on women immediately. Just like a player whose out at a club & can spot the girls he thinks are "easy/sluts" from the girls who don't put off that vibe.
It's no one's fault, BUT if they're giving off certain vibes that attract certain people, that may explain why certain people gravitate towards others
So this wasn't about blaiming anyone. This was about examining why certain types of people CONTINUALLY (pattern only) keep attracting certain people. And in order for one to do so, they must 1st examine SELF.

Yeah.. Being aloof sucks sometimes :/ but.you'd think you'd attract someone more sentimental to balance things out right.. I attract mostly fire and water, earth then air...
Funny cus that's what my chart is most like, and in that order.

Well, I don't really need anyone sentimental either. I have a problem expressing my feelings too. I won't even tell a guy I miss him. Aloofness is good to a certain extent. Don't be too aloof though because I'm going to think you are not interested & then I'm on to the next. But yeah, I can't help it. Even if I'm head over heels about someone...if he comes around too much, he'll aggrivate the shit out of me that's why I'm a little fearful of marriage...want to but then again damn...same person every single day...sheeesssh! IDK...I attract alot of fire & water too, then earth & air as well. Maybe it's because I have air & fire placements within my chart? IDK...click to expand

Wow. Spitting image of me! This is exactly how I was before I got married. And to an extent, I'm still very aloof, it's just that my husband now understands me so he doesn't even take it personal. Luckily I'm good at showin ghow much I care in other ways (vs. verbally) or else I'd probably be divorced by now!click to expand

I guess the saying is true when you gain something, you lose something. 😢

Honestly I'm very unconventional when it comes to relationships so attracting someone who is as aloof in love as I am would be a major problem.

We've all been told this before
Of course when self-proclaimed "good" women/men hear this, they're the 1st ones to cringe when they look back & realize that they've always just "so happened" to attract commitment phobes, cheaters, abusive partners, etc.
People underestimate the power of "1st impressions." Even the most bottled-up people give off flares of their personality simply by walking or not even saying a word. I.E. the way they "carry" themselves.
Even though I'm happily married now, I'm like most people in that I've got a past full of bad seeds that I've dated/been with & assuming that the phrase, "YOU are the common denominator in all your failed relationships" is actually true, it's scary & makes me wonder, "Hmm, I wonder what signal I gave off to that guy that day to the point where he felt I was the perfect PREY?!"
Have we all attracted bad seeds/certain types of people simply by chance, bad luck or probability OR is there really something we're saying/doing at the time that made that cheater, abuser or bad seed want to approach you?
It's always easier to pass the blaim onto everyone else but ourselves
What is that abused woman saying/doing when "out and about" that keeps attracting to her abusive males?
Why does the girl whose never been given the title always seem to attract 10 more guys won't ever give the title?
Why does the girl whose been cheated on 100xs always seem to keep attracting more serial cheaters?
