Hmmm, not really.
I merely question the wisdom of putting yourself in to a vulnerable position with people who are behave in a seemigly cruel and unkind way.

Is there such a thing as 'good' experience, or 'bad' experience; what makes one experience good and another bad? It's an interesting question?
Ultimately, I think it's all good, like a child in a fun fair, you can try different things and get different results. Sometimes the results are not to our liking, as when I say that I despise shallow women, I get 'wonderwoman' on my case (sorry Angela, I love you really). It's all a learning process, and also a learning process in how best to articulate and express ourselves through the medium of language.
I take your point though, there is always a thing of risk, of putting yourself on the line; but we can put ourselves on the line either skillfully, smooth and swave and seemingly effortless, or clumsily.
