the other end of the snake story:

There is a lot of pressure out there to make relationships a win/lose game.
if she drops you for someone else, and you have bought the win/lose
propeganda, then you will consider yourself a loser. One of the quickest
ways for you to rationalise yourself out of feeling like such loser is to
make the other guy out to be a real snake. I don't think that this is a
very good long-term solution, but not only do people try it out for
themselves, but also well-meaning friends feed suffering "losers at love"
these lines again and again...
