Why Am I a F*ckBoy Magnet?

Message: How does one cleanse their dating cycle?
Dear FuckBoy Magnet,
During college, my friend, Caitlin, had the strangest problem. For the first three years of undergrad, she would start hanging out with a guy, they’d have a very casual relationship. Nothing monogamous and it mostly revolved around sex. But everyone was consenting adults enjoying themselves. And it was very consistent. Then one day, they would abruptly end the fling. But that Caitlin’s strange issue. That’s a scenario we hear about a lot. What was strange is that these guys all found themselves in committed relationships with other young women within a month of breaking this off with Caitlin. And they’d remain in these relationships until after Caitlin graduated and left campus. They met their person. Or a person that was going to be a significant player in their lives. Either way, that person, wasn’t Caitlin.
And it wasn’t just 2 or 3 of the guys. It was every single guy she had a fling with. And nearly all of the guys she hooked up with. The pattern was hard to ignore. So we joked about it. We had a joke that Caitlin was matchmaking for the guys she was sleeping with. That Caitlin was heinous that she drove these men to find their future wives. Oh, we laughed, with/at her.
