Does anyone else have a problem with men whom you aren't close with dumping all of their problems and then being forced into a situation where you either come off as uncaring, or have to try to make someone you hardly know and don't even really like feel better? Like if I have friends I don't mind at all them talking to me about their problems. However, when it is someone you just met and who tried to flirt with you who trauma dumps about how annoying his girlfriend is, it is incredibly annoying. This has happened to me several times and I wonder if it is just men thinking women are caring so I will dump all my problems on women, or if I am drawing too much from it?
There are needy, clingy guys who will try to gain your sympathy as a means to get a relationship (or just sex) with you. Even if they have a girlfriend already, they may know that relationship is ending or they think you're a better substitute for their current girl, and they do not want to be alone so they'll try to find a new partner ASAP.
They tend to attach themselves to the strong and caring type of woman, maybe as a sort of mommy replacement. They're the type who expects women to do everything just as a woman would for their young child: feed them, clean up after them, remind ("nag") them to do their chores/ duties.
Try to have some excuses prepared for why you don't have time to talk next time you see them.
