Then there are those of us men who have rescued women one to many times just to see them ride off into the sunset with a thug or creep. And when that relationship inevitably goes into the dumps, who do they call? Yup, us men who saved them before. Of course, at that point, they’re such a wreck that they bring nothing to the table but pain and dependency.
So after a few years or decades of that, we opt out. We look for women who don’t need saving. Or if they do, ones who might actually appreciate a hero. Problem is they are few and far between in our degraded “culture.”
Harsh? Yup. Reality often is...
You sound like one of the good guys. Don’t give up - the one for you is out there.
I am distrustful of men who have the “Hero Complex”. They tend to be controlling and at the same time incredibly needy of emotional support.
Everyone occasionally needs help and I’m no exception. When that need arises, I usually turn to family but most of the time I do just fine. Asking for help doesn’t mean I’m seeking a life partner or someone for sex.
I advise my friends who want to marry, look for someone who if they were the same sex, would be a best friend.

That’s why I met one in the Philippines, old school women there.
There are some women who are excited by "bad boys", and who keep regular guys hanging in case they need anything. They are the flip side of the men who are "only interested in a quick lay" -- the women who string "nice" guys along.
