Re: Why am I attracted to guys who are jerks to me?

What you're describing isn't that uncommon for people who grew up with bad parents.

Kids learn from their parents what 'reality' is, how they should treat people and expect to be treated, and what 'love' or affection looks like.
That version of 'reality' is often safest, in a way, even if it was abusive - because it's what they grew up with, it's familiar, so it's what they feel comfortable with.

(not all kids who grew up with abusive parents will react like this, obviously, everyone's different, but it's still a common phenomenon.)

It may be more difficult for you to identify which guys are douchebags, and which ones are decent. And it may feel strange or 'wrong' to accept kindness from guys. But a healthy relationship is probably better for you in the long run.

Hope this helped :)
