As the saying goes, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. However, this is a common approach when it comes to dating.
Common name or letter
One has probably gone out with a couple of guys sharing the same name, either first or last. In most cases, they even end up having the same personality.
Men with the same occupation
Maybe you find yourself dating multiple colleagues although not necessarily at the same time. It’s common for workaholics to gravitate towards fellow office mates, but you always run the risk of having awkward forced interactions following a break-up or fight, and this makes the professional environment stiff for the rest.
Or, in other cases, you have a thing for trouble-making finance dudes who go through romantic partners like they go through money. You don’t always have to date co-workers, bankers, teachers, lawyers or artists.
You meet them at the same place
Naturally, you always end up meeting dudes at the joints you constantly visit. If you keep mingling with the same crowds, give that scene a break for a while and try the Internet or something.
The broke and parasite
This happens to ladies who are hardworking but always end up as prey for those parasitic men. Some of these ladies act out of desperation, afraid to lose the guy and are willing to spend their money on the dude.
Mr unavailable
When a guy is dating someone, married, or otherwise engaged, ladies get intrigued. Or maybe you don’t deliberately seek out unavailable men, but find that all the guys you’re drawn to are already taken. You start out thinking it’s just a fling so it’s fine that he’s in a committed relationship.
The old guy
Do you often find yourself in relationships with older men probably 10 years more than your age? It probably has nothing to do with their wallet but power dynamics and the idea of inhabiting a more sexually submissive role.
The cute boy
The cute boy is the guy we all dreamt of having when we are teenagers but there are ladies who are still sprung. The cute boy tends to be very popular with the ladies because he is a charmer and very attractive. Most are rarely financially stable. The only thing that is attractive is the looks.
