I have this friend who is always hooking up with guys she meets on the internet and then complaining that they used her when they don't call her again. She does this repeatedly. What is her problem?

It sounds to me like she doesn't have a mental illness, just a need for attention. Picking up guys on the internet is a quick and easy method to find someone that will give her the attention she craves. It is a lot easier than constantly trying to find people in the flesh say at school or just out and about who will date her. And when they don't call her, it is frustrating because they aren't giving her that attention she picked them up for. My advise is to talk to her about it, because going out with people she met on the internet is very dangerous, and it is unlikely she will find a good one. Just try to talk to her about it, and better yet try to help her find a nice guy that will give her the attention she craves.

Based on this, she doesn't have a mental disorder, just high expectations. Dating over the internet usually doesn't work out if it doesn't turn out disastrous. Why people want to take the chance talking with a complete stranger and then having a relationship with him/her I'll never know.

She has no respect for herself for one thing. This seems so common now days with teens and women. They hop into bed the first time out, then expect the guys to stick around for a relationship. Guys look for females who do this, and they are not looking for a lasting relationship with a s l u t, and she is becoming one. She just needs to stop being so needy and feeling as if she has to go to bed with the guy on the first date in order to be accepted by the guy.

Not a mental illness. There are just very few good men left in the world and like a lot of women she is havng a hard time finding one.

wow.
urm.
She obviously doesnt understand or take into account, the very seriously outlined problems in internet dating.
most people do it because theyre are too "ugly" to find a guy for themselves ?!?!
but.. maybe she gets some kind of kick out of internet dating. But yes.. it does seem like a problem.
She needs to get sorted out.
how?
Well..... maybe try talking to her.. or get someone with a high authority to talk to her... I think she needs a new hobbie.

Her problem is that she either seeks validation from strange men, likes drama and any attention she gets from people, or she doesn't learn from her mistakes. I'm guessing it's the former of the two. Everybody is neurotic in their own way.

I'm sure it's not a mental problem. Just tell her people don't always call back.

She sounds very needy and mistaken! Just because she'll give them what they want doesn't mean they'll give her what she wants - commitment.
