A personality disorder doesn’t discriminate.
The problem is that the hotter the female with the disorder, the more they CAN get away or CAN abuse. A people pleasing, beta, AFC male will willingly put up with disrespectful behavior over long bouts of time because if they are lower on the attractive scale (let’s say they are a 3 or 4) and they are nailing an HB8, they’ll want to hold on as long as they can because they think they are getting a great deal. The BPD woman is the prize, and she knows it, and the male is brainwashed into thinking that way. The abuse continues until the guy gets his act together and leaves.
It’s completely relative, if the BPD female is 4 or 5 in terms of looks, they will never target a guy who is a 6 or 7. They will go after an equal or lesser looking guy. Take a good look around - you’ll see this everywhere - not just with BPD women.
The BPD woman will target males they can control. Last summer I was dating this single mom HB8 who didn’t have BPD, but was definitely a branch-swinger to the highest degree. She wasn't a good woman. We stopped seeing each other for many reasons, but one of them was certainly because I never let her call the big shots and I wanted to drive that relationship (they way it SHOULD be). Call me controlling or whatever, but I think she knew that I wasn’t going to be fooled. She was always used to getting her way being an only child, and the minute she didn’t agree to meet up one night and was slow to respond to a few of my texts, I BAILED and never contacted her again.
Sure enough, I heard a week later she’s got some dude doing housework for her and playing with her son!
Anyways it’s all about CONTROL, CONTROL, CONTROL with BPD. In my marriage to a BPD woman, the moment I started going out and doing the things I wanted to do (running, soccer, playing my bass guitar) that didn’t involve her is when she started acting up and treating me like crap. Keep in mind that I WAS giving her a lot of attention, but it was this power shift where she wasn’t getting her way all the time. I should have set boundaries in the beginning. If i did, 1) we might still be together (but probably not), and 2) She would have bailed in our relationship a lot sooner because she knew it wasn’t always going to be about her.
In any healthy relationship there should be some sort of team effort between you and the female. But every team has a leader and that should be YOU, not some woman.
