[FONT=Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif, Arial] If the men don't like the persona the women perpetuates, then they would decide to deceive and leave, of you get my meaning.

I understand the rest of the sentence but not the last "of you" part.

My American friend wrote this. I think it could be typo because "o" and "i" are next to each other in keyboard. She may have meant "if and not of". Anyway, I just want to clarify, is there any structure like this or is it just just a typo?

I think it's a typo for if. (Your friend isn't a great stylist: I wonder how one perpetuates a persona.)

It's a typo for "if". Your friend also made an error in verb agreement by saying "the persona the women perpetuates​".
