Dear Ruthie,
I’m a woman who is attracted to gorgeous women. Models, dancers, I get them all and they like me. The deal is that that they’re all damn crazy in the head! Psycho bitches, man. Why do I keep getting these girls? The crazy ones are the hottest, but they’re also the craziest. My friends say I’m a magnet for nutty girls. What am I doing wrong? Why do I keep attracting beautiful women who are as crazy as they are hot?
—Chick Magnet
Dear Chicky,
Hmm…since you’re so attracted to gorgeous model types, I’m a bit perplexed as to why you haven’t approached me or asked for my phone number. I’m a hottie, and I can flip the crazy switch in a heartbeat! I’ll make love to you all night long, and then scream at you for days because you won’t support the marriage of my two cats. Oh, well…your loss, honey.
As magnetic as your personality may be, that’s hardly the problem. You admit that a certain woman is your type, and my guess is that this type goes beyond physical appearance, which you may not even be aware of. In other words, you’re likely attracted to women with certain personality traits you later decide are “crazy.”
The solution? These women are not your type after all. If they were, your relationships would be working. Think outside the lady box (that sounds dirty), and be open to dating different types of women. Check out some of the events in this week’s happenings, paint the town red and meet some new people. Mix things up a bit and see if Cupid’s arrow doesn’t hit you between the eyes.
