Why is it some people can do no wrong?

I have an acquaintance who can seemingly do no wrong and I find it baffling. Are people just being kind or do they really think this person can do no wrong.

They portray a very 'girl next door' image, friendly, likeable but there is a lot in their background that just doesn't add up.

They have children by multiple fathers, always telling everyone how crap dad number 1 is, dad number 2 seems to have disappeared off the planet before number 2 was born and isn't spoken about. Can't seem to hold down a relationship for more than a couple for months.

Always stressed at their children, extremely lazy and is always on the phone/ playing online games. Can't seem to get their children to school on time, etc.

Always very vocal about their lack of money, even though they were struggling and on benefits already with first child.

No family contact, seemingly has lots of friends but never has anyone around when they need help.

Does lots of strange things, posts lots of strange things on facebook, including pictures in their underwear and bondage outfits Blush for everyone to comment on.

All while trying to portray a 'nice' image, acting like she's embarrassed everytime she let's out a swear word. Hmm

I'm just baffled...if I did even one of these things, I think people would disown me. Yet because this person is semi attractive, friendly and sociable it seems that people just ignore all these things they do.

My ex multiple arrests for violence against women and children etc doesnt work claims he is injured claims ptsd rarely has tax and mot on his car no insurance breaks covid rules constantly (drives from Scotland to the Midlands and back to meet friends no he is not in a bubble he is taking the piss)

Everyone loves him he cant do any wrong he is always "misunderstood" has such a "big heart" even the police don't bother he gets pulled over phone to his fucking ear they say don't do it again no mot on the car gets pulled over they send him on his way because he tell them he "forgot"

I mean I dont get it 🤷

I don't get your fascination. So she's been let down by men & likes playing dress up on Instagram , which is generational. So what ?

Maybe she was raped but kept DC 2. There could be any explanation for any of it and it is not for anyone to judge. Poor woman.

Is her name Julie?

What a horrible opening post.

Just picking up on your third paragraph. You seem to be implying both the things she does with men are negative? Why? Maybe she has the confidence to not stay in a miserable relationship. Maybe she prefers being single?

Excellent post.

Maybe she dumps men as soon as they put a toe out of line? DSis is a zero tolerance zone and gets rid as soon as they do anything to piss her off or upset her. Frankly I applaud her for it.

Re her DC, plenty of men disappear on their children.

She is probably NC with her family for a good reason.

And really, wtf does any of this have to do with you? She’s just an acquaintance.
