Obviously your friend is attracted to those types.
I used to think that I would find my own fairytale, but that's just not reality. I don't want a man to "rescue me" nor do I need to be rescued. I'm perfectly happy being single and by myself. If a man were to come along and sweep me off my feet then so be it. Do I want a man in my life? Sure. I don't "need" a man in my life though.
If I need rescuing I'll dial 911...Love a man in uniform
