It Must Be Love!...or maybe not

Bad boys are just more fun..

We love how exciting it is to be around them. They’ll do things like grab you while in the car and make love to you right there in bright day light or even pull you into a public bathroom and show you an adrenalin rush you’ve never witnessed before.. the unpredictability, the ups and downs, the pure mischief and spontaneity.. What is there not to love?

Well, there’s a lot not to love.. usually those fun bad boys are also players. How can they be bad and playful if they’re devoted to one woman? Obviously, they can’t.. even when they do tell you things like “this is the stuff that movies are made of.” They’re going to use any line on you to get you to do what they want you to do.. those are truly successful bad boys. They’re good at what they do.. we almost know they’re playing us and we LOVE it. How do they do it? Experiencing them is like experiencing a drug.. the more we consume, the more we want. Somebody like Chicken is probably one of the best manifestations. When he’s with you, he makes you feel like there’s no better place to be than to be with you. He’s adoring, attentive, makes you feel like you’re the most special thing to him.. In the meantime, he’s making 2, 3, 4 other girls feel exactly the same way: special. What’s even funnier, we start to think of them as sexy and hot – almost redefining our ideas of sexy and hot.. drug, I tell you!

When we’re aware of their “player” side, we almost want them more because they’re unattainable and we’ve become hooked on that charm. We also refuse to believe that we’re not really that special to them. We like to think we can convert them and make good men out of them; we assume that because we are very special, somebody like Chicken will change his ways and be forever devoted to us. You know deep down it’s not going to happen and you’ll keep trying until one day.. he moves on and breaks your heart, taking responsibility for absolutely nothing.. “We are just hanging out.” and “I don’t think I can give you what you truly deserve.” Still charming in those last few words.
