My girlfriend don't recognize peoples hidden nature, she basically "likes" everyone.

No, she hasn't been taken advantage of, per se. Not straight forward. Though I know she once slept with a guy (before commencing our relationship), believing him to be of good nature - a nice guy. However, I know he really is a manipulative dick (common acquaintance). He puts on a big show, especially around girls, as this very empathic type. Although, I seem to see through this kind of fake behaviour quite often. And I would think it is because of my temperament, or sceptical attitude towards other people. Of course there will be some fake positives, nonetheless. Regarding this guy I mentioned, I thought uppon my first meeting with him; "Ok, this is a fake douchbag" ... although, she would NEVER think that thought. She regards this one guy as a fling, nothing more. However, she has said explicitly that he was a nice guy. Maybe it is fake people, or "two faced people" I have a problem with, not so much my girlfriends naivety regarding peoples intentions. I hope I make sense.
