That's because all girls are messed up, man. Not just girls, all PEOPLE are "messed up" in one way or another. It's not you, it's everybody, ha.

it's rare to find one that has never had some sort of trauma

Maybe it's because something bad happened to you, or because you subconsciously want to help messed up people...

Maybe they are just more interesting to you. "Normal" girls can be sort of boring. No. REALLY Boring.

People attract certain types of people for a reason. There must be something about you that attracts troubled girls. However, you shouldn't make assumptions that it will continue happening...or it will. Self-fulfilling prophecy. Also, there is an alarming number of girls who have been sexually abused or assaulted. Many statistics say 1 in 4.

Maybe you just dig drama? Some do. WTF? "Whatever floats yer boat", imho. ;-)

some of us like to surround ourselves with needy people. self-mutilators and those who've experienced early sexual trauma are often needy in significant relationships, afraid of abandonment ... there are pluses and minuses to getting involved in such relationships. i liked reading the book, i think it's, "stop walking on eggshells".

perhaps you think that you will be the one to save them or perhaps you need her to be in need of you and to become in some way dependent - this a all about control and the ability to control. Perhaps it is because you use her problems as a way to make yourself feel better (a case of, I thought I was fucked up but now I see how bad you are, I feel much better, A case of, it could be worse, I could be like you and you are so much more of a mess that I feel quite good about myself in comparison. This can be summarized as 'I need you to feel bad to make me feel good'. Or perhaps is about security and a safe guard against you becoming involved to any degree or intimate - if a girl has had a traumatic sexual experience then it is unlikely that she will what to be intimate with you and your relationship will probably remain platonic for much longer than it would normally. This is almost like a guarantee of how far things can go - she has a traumatic experience, you are understanding and have the excuse of not wanting to push her into anything she is not ready for thus intimate relations are indefinitely postponed if not cancelled. It is the perfect excuse for not having intimacy and nobody (as in your mates) can say a word about it or question why sex is not on the agenda. Nobody can accuse you of anything and of course you would like things to to further but it's not down to you when they don't - morally, ethically and socially, you are off the hook. OF course, your choices could also be nothing much more than a habit that you have done enough times to become normality.

Perhaps you feel some sort of need to protect and soothe them, or have some sort of subconscious paternal drive which makes you want to take care of them, but to render it less awkward and to establish procreation as is our reason for existence, this is translated through mostly sexual nature. Or maybe it's some kinda fetish. Might sound weird, and I might be way off, but any other alternative I can think of isn't very nice. XD But don't blame me, blame Freud lol. To center it more, think about what attracts you to these kinds of girls. Is it the scars, the blood, the melancholic disposition or any other physical indication of current depression or trauma, or do you feel more attracted once you hear her story?

im like tht. my friend jokes we must have swallowed emo magnets cauase every new friend i make is sceen or really messed up or cuts. like myself
