This walking factory of red flags manages to have multiple girlfriends? This is why ‘work on yourself before you try getting into a relationship’ is a bullshit advice. That’s rebranded ‘Just World fallacy’.
I just work on myself because trying to get into a relationship is too exhausting.
One of the biggest losers I ever met had a very devoted girlfriend. No job, and he defaulted on his rent for several months, forcing another roommate to cover for him (whom he never paid back). Eventually, he moved out of our place and moved in with her. She seemed nice, but not too smart. I remember she didn’t understand the concept of “satire”…that is, she didn’t even recognize the word.
So yeah, I think that pretty much anybody can get into a relationship, if you lower your standards far enough. The question is: how low are you willing to go?
It’s like joining a cult. They don’t bust out the crazy until after they’ve hooked you. Fortunately, all of the crazies I’ve dated showed their true colors pretty early.

That’s insanity. I can only imagine he doesn’t tell girls he tries to date all this up front, which is why they keep leaving him.
