If I'm broken, then in my experience, the answer is "badly". I seem to have a track record of attracting wrong'uns. But I've noticed that there are times when I'm less broken, and that's when I do attract someone and get a response.

Ironically, I have a very nurturing personality. Wish I could turn a little of that on myself.

i_wanna_blue, it is difficult to explain.. I've typed several things and erased them because it didn't sound right.

I do know, however, that it doesn't have anything to do with wanting to take care of them. I am just attracted to them because of his struggle (eg a struggle with self control, or something that saps them of physical energy) don't really know why, it is very strange... It has to do with loss of control, though. A normally very strong person becoming weak in some way...

It is completely different in real life, though. ... Ugh nevermind its so hard to explain..

No don't worry mith, I know that explaining things cannot be fully accomplished in words. But at least tortured guys might have a chance. :wink:

Some kind of masochistic need to sacrifce yourself for them?
