And by ‘fix’ i mean trying to help resolve their issues or change them into a better person in your mind anyways.
In my experience, no. HOWEVER, I have had friends with some real piece of shit boyfriends, they tried to 'fix' them, only ended up getting hurt (heartbroken)

That's step 1 in "getting the fuck up outta there"
You can't fix someone who's already damaged and broken. Only they can fix themselves.

I hate that term, "fixing" someone. People aren't objects that get "damaged" and have to be "fixed".
People can be in need of help and support, true - but they need to get better and improve, not get "fixed" like a faulty car or a glitchy computer. I've dumped a girl and nearly cut off my wife-to-be when they talked about "fixing" me. I won't ever tolerate being seen as "something" to be "fixed".
I'm a person in flesh and blood with thoughts and feelings, I may need help and support but I'm not a robot that needs to be fixed. I'm human.
I've never thought I could "fix" someone before, but my best friend is notorious for being a "fixer" & it has landed her into a LOT of trouble. She married the second guy she tried to fix & he was so abusive, i eventually convinced her to get a divorce because he was beating her. The next guy she tried to fix it didn't last long, thank goodness... I think she's finally out of the whole "fixing" stage of her being & is happily engaged to a good guy who is more her speed.
Well…not intentionally.
but that’s what happened. He was messed up…you wouldn’t believe!! He is from GAG and it got so bad he couldn’t handle me and broke up with me for a year…because I am the only one who have ever make his life into some senses.He tells others here on gag how he was messed up before…because he is out of it and now can look back to his mistakes.
we are now married and living a decent life.
Thankfully, never.
That is like the "nice-guy" that is really an abuser but female version.
It sounds nice for somebody to care about "fixing" you, but that would just turn into somebody trying to control your life. If you did or thought about things she didn't like, then that would turn into "areas of improvement" and she would try to encourage you to conform to her ideals.
I've never tried to fix a guy, because they are like me flipping a coin to a homeless guy-it's gone in seconds and had little value to me. Also i think it be a waste of time trying to change someone i couldn't see myself being with. Much less a guy.
Yes several times but then I never really thought of it as trying to ‘fix’ them, more just hoping I could help and they would want to change.
Of course slobs and insecure men never want to change anything about themselves.You can fix him?

Not clear issues maybe little. Any issues that I didn’t think I can fix but I thought maybe when we know watch other better he will be more comfortable around me
Yes, I've met several introverted guys that I could help become more extraverted. Meanwhile, I became resentful that they didn't want to help me become more extraverted as well.
Nope, but I wasted 13 years with a good friend, thinking I could help her overcome her several mental illnesses and learned from her that you can't change people
Nope but I have overlooked red flags in the name of love🥴. I'll never do that again!.
First step first. Let me get a girl first.😭😭😅😅😅
I've never thought about that. You can't fix someone who can't be fixed.
Once. After 5 weeks I gave up and said bye 😂 big waste of time.
It's not my job to fix anybody, but where can I find that shirt?
I don't go into relationships to fix a person. I'm way too emotionally unstable for that.
Just got out of a dumb-ass situation like that. I've learned some very valuable lessons.
No.
I don't wanna find someone to mold like a mother son relationship.
Yeah. She gave up after a while. I don't know which was worse lol.
I had one tell me that I was a five-year project. She was an easy one to dump.
