You can never tell anyone anything. They have to find out for themselves.

This is a story about a girl I used to know 15 years ago.

She was a wedding singer and a lovely young lady.

We met online but we weren't a match..... alas she wasn't my type.

However, we remained good friends for several years.

During the first year we knew each other we were particularly good friends and we hung out several times a week.

As it turned out I had a recently stopped hanging out with one of my best friends because I had found out that he was kind of despicable in some of the things that had been doing.

I decided that he was toxic and not someone that I wanted to continue to know well.

I told this particular girl all about it and she seemed curious about him but also told me that it's good that I got away from someone who was so bad for me.

Months after telling her this I received a phone call from that friend. He wanted to make amends.

Being the forgiving type I decided I would go ahead and try to reconcile with him.

He started hanging out at my place quite often and she would hang out there as well.

I had told her again and again and again that his main MO was hurting women.

He would meet some young lady, have her fall in love with him, and then he would sleep with her, lie to her, string her along etc.....

She told me....

"Yeah well I think he's a really great guy."

Even after everything I already told her she was over here saying he's a really great guy....... even though he had literally cheated on every single woman had ever gone out with, and lied, and stolen from them.

So what ultimately happened?

He ended up stealing a lot of the equipment that she used for singing by saying that he lost it.

She then found a bunch of notes that he had written that said all kinds of terrible things about her.

He broke her heart exactly like I said that he would.

The weird thing is that he had always broken everyone's heart every single time so there was no possible way that he wouldn't break hers.

The crazy thing is that we spent so many nights talking about it and talking about how toxic he was and yet she jumped right into his arms immediately.

I don't really hang out with that guy anymore and I haven't seen her in a good 8 years.

It always struck me as strange that she didn't take my advice at all and instead decided that she would go ahead and crash into the wall despite the fact that I told her that it was there.

This reminds me of some of my friends. They ALL keep going out with the SAME guy even though they all know that he's really no good for them

I have seen things like that happen quite a few times. I just can't understand why some people choose the wrong person all the time, even if they know how bad and toxic they are. It always leaves me confused, but I guess that's simply how some people like to "operate"...

I think people like to think that it wouldn't happen to them because they are somehow different than everyone else.

Yeah, I guess you are right... there's no other explanation, lol.

I once warned my neighbor about a girl, told him she's pregnant for someone else so he should be careful getting too close to her.

He snitched on me and the girl reported me to guy that leaked the pregnancy information to me... Well my neighbor helped her get rid of the pregnancy and they've been going out ever, they've had a handsome son too.

Though I'm still in great talking terms with him, I know my limits and bounds. Lesson well learnt.

Well sounds like she hasn't betrayed him yet so good for him so far I guess.

Lesson learned!
Newer tell women what not to do!
The reaction is usually the opposite and what we would not expect at all.
Resteemed!

This is a fact that has been known for a very long time. People have to learn for themselves. As Will Rogers quoted: "There are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves". It goes for women too.

real life

I've observed this numerous times as well. I'll never get it either.

Human nature I guess. She had a need she thought he could provide, despite your council.

It's so true (your advice) but it's so sad (her story) as well.

A womanizer will always womenize. You can't fight it. Once you're hooked, logic and reason mean nothing. Guess everyone gotta learn their lesson, me include.

cool, very steady postingannya, just great
