That’s what the books say. Might I add that this is an underdiagosed disorder. Clinicians are reluctant to label these defective women.
Here is the question.....How many of you guys have encountered these gals? Do they meet ALL or MOST of the criteria. I have run into more than one for sure. I bet most you have as well huh?
Now, after answering the above, still believe in this 1% sh!t?
Not only is 1% a very low underestimate not taking into account women who are misdiagnosed, it also doesn’t take into account women who are in denial and don’t seek treatment. As we all know, BPD is heavily dependant on denial as a self defence mechanism and most women with the disorder by its nature will not seek treatment and diagnosis.
Women with these disorders are generally very promiscuous and will date dozens of men each which makes it easy to see why so many men come here shell shocked after their experiences with such vampires.
Also, BPD is not the only mental disorder that is dangerous to men in the dating game. Narcisissists and sociopaths are even worse. Then you have women who suffer from anxiety, depression, hpd, and bipolar disorder, among others, and these can all be equally destructive to men.
Then you have the women who while they may not qualify for an official diagnosis of mental disorder, still display many of the toxic behaviours of these illnesses and can be incredibly damaging to the men who date them.
Disregard the inexperienced opinions of men on this forum who are only here to bully, blame and shame. They don’t realize how hidden and covert a woman’s mental illness can be - it is often something that shows up very subtly over a long period of time until a big “holy fvck” moment may scare you into reality. Even then, psychological ties such as trauma bonds and self-blame can lead lots of men to stick around for more.. until they come to sites like this one so they can read up on what the hell theyre actually going through and learn how necessary it is to detach, and to recognize the warning signs so they don’t get involved with such women ever again.
Most of these women appear normal and lure you in with good times and great sex for many months and even years, which is what makes the mental disorders so potentially damaging. It is not always so easy to spot right away.
