What do you do if the only type of girls you are attracted to are BPD?

After dating for awhile since my last two BPD, I'm starting to notice a pattern. Almost any woemn that I feel a connection with are BPD. They are are the only types that get me excited. Almost every past girlfriends that I had a strong bond with turned out to be BPD. Normal women are boring compared to them. But I can't bring my self to feel the same level of attraction as I do with the other.

I know it's fvcked up. I know BPD are a nightmare in relationships. But I keep finding myself more attracted to those types. Am I messed up or something? Can anyone relate?

Nope. I'm not insecure. To me BPD women are more exciting then a normal "quality" woman.

I don't find out they are BPD until a few months into a relationship. But it's always the same pattern. The women I'm more attracted to turn out to be BPD.

70-90% of modern women are BPD so this is no surprise.

Just spin plates. Don't commit 100%. Don't make their problems your problems. Don't react to all their emotional bullsh!t. Don't try to bond with them emotionally.

You can't help what gives you wood. Just enjoy the ride and leave when the fun ends. This is what I do. :up:

If you have had a couple of relationships with BPD then it should become very obvious within the first few dates what they are, not a couple of months down the road... The appeal is the build up, how great you are, the feeling of being seen as not just a man, but the best man they have every know, greatest lover etc... It's appealing at a very base level, but as you know the kicker is when the mask comes off and you're just another $hit who doesn't make her feel safe, and all that good feeling is taken away... Then it's the whole push pull.... I'd recommend figuring out why you are so drawn into that build up from a woman and find a way to feel like "the better man" on your own... Then, women will be an enhancement to you, not the part of you that makes you feel good with yourself... I've been there and it's not worth hollowing yourself out over that small time period of excitement...

'Quality women' (for lack of a better term) tend to be shy and introverted with people they don't know well. Wh*res, gold diggers, BPD's and other low quality cvnts are the opposite: they are outgoing, very social and uninhibited with strangers. This is why you tend to have a stronger initial connection with the latter while the former seem boring. However, you are a damn fool if you put all your chips on that 'initial connection' and reject a woman because she seems boring on the first date (unless all you're seeking is a ONS).

Chemical castration seems more attractive to me than some crazy b!tch.

My advice is to marry the next one and get her out of the general population for the rest of us.

Find yourself a really good therapist. Shop around, find one you work well with. This has really saved my bacon. You can learn a lot about people this way. You will figure out what draws you to that type of women, and how to correct it.

When you're involved with a BPD, you will take emotional abuse from her. It may be a lot, it may be a little, but you will take emotional abuse from her.

Often times, this is something familiar to us from our childhood, where we would take emotional abuse from one of our parents. Many people have forgotten about these experiences...we're grown up now, we live and control our own lives, we are not dependent of our parents anymore.

But our subconcious remembers, even if our direct awareness doesn't. If the emotional battles and abuse you experienced with your parent were heavy and plentiful, these experiences have been etched into your subconscious. This often leads a person to be drawn to the same kind of relationships with "lovers" later on in life.
It's not really "you" who chooses them, it's not your conscious decision to pursue them. But your subconcious, which is beyond your control, is drawn to them.

My mom was a BPD and most of the women in my life were BPD as well. In a way, I feel "at home" when I'm dealing with those bytches, it feels familiar, it feels like I can only truly connect with them. That's because the first intimate connection that I've had in my life, the one with my mother, is a blueprint for all other intimate connections in my life.
This holds true for every person in the world. When you grow up and get involved with girls, you will simply project the connection with your mother onto them. If that connection with your mother was pathological, you will seek out pathological connections with women later on in your life as well.

The powers of your subconcsious are very strong. Just consider how a person has learned to read. You've been trained day in day out as a child, for years and years, to learn how to read. It started with the alphabet and simple words and got more sophisticated in college etc. It's become second nature and you cannot NOT read a word. When I write down the word ELEPHANT, the moment you see it you instantly know that I'm talking about that huge grey animal. You cannot force your brain to look at the letters objectively, as if there is just a combination of letters in front of your eyes. Your brain will automatically make sense of that combination of letters and give meaning to it, as it has been trained to do. You cannot untrain this and force yourself to NOT see the meaning of the combination of letters. When you were an infant and not in school yet, you would just see symbols there that didn't make sense to you. But you can never return to that state, reading has become an automatic process and it will happen when you see a combination of letters, whether you want to or not. That's because it has become a subconcous process.

Just like that, the connection to my mother has been etched into my subsconcious and when I meet a BPD, I will feel a strong connection to that girl whether I like it or not, because this is simply a subconscious, automatic response.

In order to not get involved with BPD's all the time, you have to make very deep changes in your own subconscious emotional core. Therapy is probably a good idea. Personally, I've been digging deeper into my childhood trauma, the relationship with my mom and all the emotional abuse I experienced as a child. I hate my mom from the bottom of my heart, the psychological terror she put me through as a child was unbearable. This hatred runs so deep, when I think of my mom I just become pure rage.

Now when I meet a BPD, I try to remind myself "That's her, that's just your mom in another body." And that's true. If you have been involved with many BPD's in your life, then you know how they are all actually just the same person, but in different bodies. It's not for nothing that all guys on here always feel like it was their own BPD when someone else talks about their BPD. Anyway, everytime I have been involved with a BPD it was such bliss at the start, but eventually the mask dropped and she started hurting me and putting me through emotional abuse, which would remind me of my childhood and the abuse I took from my mom. Then the hatred in me would finally appear, I would feel disgusted by the behavior of the BPD and kick her to the curb for disrespecting me and messing with my head.

Nowadays, when I meet a BPD, I make sure to remind myself of my mom and the abuse she put me though BEFORE I get involved with the BPD. I will not allow myself to fall for her sweetness and will eject before I get emotionally hooked on her. I was able to do that for quite some years until I foolishly fell for one again last year. It's the same as when you've been addicted to cigarettes, even if quit and haven't smoked one for years, you can still easily get hooked again if you smoke a few. You have to always keep making a conscious effort not to fall for the temptation.

But practise makes perfect, I guess. Everytime you're able to pull yourself away from the BPD temptation, is a victory and the more you repeat that succes, the better you become at it.

When you meet one, just remind yourself of the pain that previous BPD's caused you. You wanna go through that again? Of course not... The problem is that she won't cause you that pain right away. On the contrary, she wil put you in heaven when you first get involved with one. The pain will come later on... So you just have to keep that in mind and remind yourself of it STRONGLY. You have to make a conscious effort to stay away, while your subconcious will drive you to get close to her. You have t fight it, you have to battle your own urges.

Don't know if any of this helps you, I'm kinda thinking out loud here. Fvck those bytches, I'm going out in a few hours and try to pick up some hot chick at the club. You should throw your computer out of the window and do the same :D

Die Hard makes a lot of great points that require a deeper understanding of the disorder and what makes certain men drawn to these women to fully appreciate. Also, it's important to make the distinction between AFC "qualities", borderline TRAITS, and borderline as a DISORDER. Often, it happens that a man will say a woman is BPD when in actuality, his behavior is what caused her to act out, be abusive, or abandon him altogether. Some women can be ridiculously vicious toward AFC behaviors.

Both party's respective issues from childhood draw them together very easily. That's why you see some men consistently end up with the same types of women until he makes a conscious effort to seek out more normal women. In any situation, you need to look deeper at yourself, because she really won't ever change. What also won't change is your primitive attraction to the craziness of a woman with BPD or women with BPD-like tendencies (crazy, overtly sexual, slutty, unstable, extraordinarily attention seeking, and usually attractive physically).

The number of actual disordered of women is very small, however, men with the right amount/type of abuse from mother while growing up will consistently run into these types of women making it seem like they're all over the place. Until he makes a conscious effort (through awareness) to learn to seek out better women to game/date/etc, he'll keep landing them or land women who closely resemble an actual BPD.

Awareness is the key. Nothing gets me more turned on than a crazy, sexual, attractive, fun woman and I'm sure this thinking applies to most men. And most women are crazy and sexual under the right circumstances but usually at a much slower pace than you'd see with a BPD woman. A BPD woman will be like this with a complete stranger. See the difference?

After a while, you learn to spot the behavior in women that could be problematic and you'll also recognize your get-level attraction to it. If you ever get serious about hooking up with better, healthier women, you have let your logical brain rule over your emotional gut or you'll keep ending up with sh!t women.

Take a look at yourself and your self-esteem and start there. You'll find many clues as to why you're attracted to the craziness of the BPD woman, and why other, more healthy women seem completely boring and un-datable.

Also, there are some great archived threads on SoSuave about this topic. If you do a search or Google "bpd sosuave" you'll find some great discussion.

The OP is perfectly normal. It happens to every guy who comes out of a relationship with a bpd. It also partially explains why every bpd girl has a multitude of exes fawning over her.

BPDs are to women what exotic sports cars are to vehicles. I've never driven a Ferrari, but I'm pretty sure that if I did, the next day my old truck would just not satisfy me. Sports cars make horrible daily drivers due to breakdowns and maintenance. But they are still the most fun to drive when they are running well.

Die Hard and Origin138 are so true and the story of my life. I am now hardened, like a diamond in the rough - polished with many facets, but a flaw in the middle, where my heart used to be.

If you have had a couple of relationships with BPD then it should become very obvious within the first few dates what they are, not a couple of months down the road... The appeal is the build up, how great you are, the feeling of being seen as not just a man, but the best man they have every know, greatest lover etc...

Has the solution.

I am now a bachelor - an elderly bull elephant, who gathers around the local watering hole and grumbles about women. I manage to snaffle a young heifer every now and again - before the matriacal cow leads her away.

I love young girls apply "Dad game" with them. There is always a sexual attraction between a young girl and an older man. Like with me and my young bar lady girlfriend, Leigh, in Durban - who gives me beers and her body, for free.

BPD women are exiting - but toxic, like a poisonous flower and are fvcked up and you can't change them.

I liken it to a gay person trying to live a moral life. Sometimes you just have to sacrifice things. Hold the willpower. Sure, typically the BPDs are the most feminine and therefore the most attractive, but surely there is an attractive woman out there that isn't BPD. Just have to find them.

can a BDP woman bring out afc behaviour in you?

for example, when you meet her, you are a strong independent man... she makes you feel like a million dollars, like your the greatest thing that happen to her...

once you fall in love with her & she knows that you are in love with her... she starts to break you down, hot & cold... push/pull

makes you feel worthless at times, the abuse starts...

okay so you start losing confidence, self esteem drops... would you not then start displaying some afc behaviour? as a result of her crazyness

That is how they get their kicks - out of destroying those men who love them. Like a modern witch.

best resource I know on BPD, and it will answer your questions on why you choose them.
Thanks. I found this while looking through that site:

The Bachelor on ABC isn't a show I watch--but my gal-pal who loves reality television described an incident (that aired on July 5, 2010) with a candidate who seems to perfectly fit the classic Borderline criteria. She's shaming, blaming, castrating, victim-like, and comes as close to showing us BPD drama playing out, as you're ever gonna see on TV. It appears that Pilot 'Jake' dodged a bullet! (Who says, television isn't educational?!)

Great points above. I'll second or third the suggestion to get a shrink. I went to one to help me deal with the breakup with my BPD ex.

I also think you should be able to tell right away if a chick is BPD or anything similar. And, yes, they tend to be the most thrilling, attractive women around, just like heroin is awesome till it fucks up your life.

The problem with spinning these chicks as plates is that you are playing russian roulette with them. You never know which one will end up being the loaded chamber and blow your fucking head off. No joke. These women are monsters and will destroy your life.

That said, you may want to spend some time contemplating how less attractive, less exciting women are so much safer and enjoyable in the long run. Get your kicks from making yourself a better man, karate, outdoors, motorcycle, etc. Start competitive shooting or amateur boxing or MMA if you need a big thrill. Much safer and less disruptive to your life in the long run.

For awhile reading on here I thought BPD was bi-polar disorder. Now I see its Borderline Personality Disorder.
From limited research, they say bi-polar and borderline are real close and get diagnosed incorrectly one way or the other.
