The level of naivety: "I'll fix him"
Girls are amazing creatures. When they see a man about whom even Google writes "be careful", their rescue reflex immediately awakens. As if he were a shelter dog, and not a person who thinks that monogamy is an island in Greece.

"Well, he was like that with others because they didn't understand him... But I'll understand!"
- she says and confidently walks into emotional hell, holding a candle, a rose and hope in her hands.

Bad Boys: Limited Edition
You have to admit, they have charm. That look, that mystery, that “I’m not looking for a relationship, but if you’re special...” — and that’s it, the fish has bitten. Although his profile clearly states: “Chaos. Drama. Only trash and love on a schedule from 11:00 PM to 2:00 AM.”

He appears and disappears, like discounts on airline tickets. He calls when he’s bored. He disappears when it’s important to you. And, of course, he “just has a difficult past” (and sometimes a present and a future).

“I’ll change him!” — every second one said. And not a single one changed him.
Let’s be honest: a man who doesn’t want to change — won’t change. Even if you cook borscht for him, write poetry for him, or even start watching a TV series with him (and that’s already a level of trust!). He doesn’t need to be “fixed.” He’s not a project. And you’re not a free service station for repairing injured machos.

What if...
Instead of going for the "dark and mysterious", try looking at someone who is stable, adequate and doesn't make you want to check their phone at night? Yeah, that sounds boring. Until you realize that calm is also cool.

The moral of the story:
Love is not a construction site, and you are not a contractor. Don't waste your energy fixing someone who is enjoying their own "brokenness". Better find someone with whom you don't have to be a superhero. Just a girl. Happy. Safe and sound.
