Loving the ''person'' not the body (to HPD)
by Wonderer7 » Thu Jun 30, 2011 6:12 pm
This comes from my other thread. My sister claims that she is not attracted physically to anyone unless she ''loves'' that person. Is this common among HPD? She can love either men or women... ugly or not and then be attracted physically, when she feals the other likes her and gives her attention. Any comments?

That is a good question. The only thing I can say about my ex gf is that she tends to go for the "weaker" guys such as the nice introverted guys. She would occasionally be drawn to a guy like me who's unattainable. Over all her self-esteem too low and don't have high standards for guys.

She could be bi-lovable. This is something more than just bisexual (sex with both) it means that attractions and love are possible with both genders, not just one.

My HPD X seems to definitely go for vulnerable guys. Going through a divorce, got dumped by a girlfriend, obviously relationship challenged or a little less attractive. Those guys she can control and make feel better about themselves and fill their ego. Once that happens, they are hooked and she can start being her HPD self. I have not been jealous of a single guy I've seen her with and know they are going though the same hell I went through when she found me vulnerable going through a divorce. As I got stronger, started to heal and got me self confidence and self respect back, her tactics got worse and worse to try to keep me down and submissive to her bad girlfriends ways. I was getting better and our relationship should have been getting better and more loving too because I was falling more deeply in love with her all the time, but I also starting not putting up with the bad girlfriend stuff as I got stronger and continued to get my self respect back... it was always the strangest thing that as I felt better and better about life after my divorce, my relationship with my HPD kept getting worse...
