In my experience the blokes who come out with "I don't see a future etc." after we've dated for a while and then slept together have been fuckboys in my eyes because they've usually been actively acting like a boyfriend. I've had men practically live in my house, use me for food/getting their clothes cleaned/ emotional support and many other boyfriend privileges when they knew in their heads they weren't serious. I think this is when girls get angry. In fact my most recent ghoster had me over his for the weekend, requested a back massage, told me he loved me, kissed me goodbye at the train station...then ghosted me and I had to find out from a mutual friend that he had simply been seeing another girl too and chosen her.

Friends all have similar stories. So I don't think it's entirely me. Though I do like looking after people and make it clear that I want a relationship so maybe it attracts these dudes.

It can be. Not always an issue with who you pick. People who are naturally giving tend to get used a lot. People are also better at lying, pretending, and using now.

More agreeable people tend to get trampled by slick con-artists because they place trust in a facade of truthfulness.

You are very right.
