I would look at that a different way. The lessons I am learning from my ex have nothing whatsoever to do with him or figuring out how "all guys are." They have everything to do with me and discovering where I am stopped, where I have limiting beliefs, where I can let go of old pain and what inspiring new possibilities I am inspired to generate. Putting the focus too much on the outside robs you of a really powerful opportunity to be present to what is going on with you in your own life. This girl may have just been a signpost or a mirror pointing you to what would be good to examine in yourself.

From my perspective, this situation has nothing to do with her.
