I can't stand being around people who are arrogant, dishonest, selfish, inconsiderate, insulting, bad-tempered, etc. However, I have ended up dating people like this. I would idealistically hope that if I could make them "happy" (they were all unhappy people) they would be kinder people, and everything would be okay. I was not, however, attracted to these people at all... I ended up in relationships feeling like I had no idea how I ended up there. I try to be much more careful now.

Oh! This is exactly how I ended up with the worst man I was ever with. I got the "evil" vibe as soon as I met him, and I still really can't explain how it was that we ended up dating when he frightened and disgusted me. Because I overthought it, and I chided myself for my silly "feelings". I actually believed that people who do bad things were just suffering from a lack of other options. Not so... not at all. I'm so glad that you are more careful now.
