Bad Boys.....

Interesting article that I think can be applied to some affairs. I think you could change bad boys to bad girls (i.e. - sexy, low self esteem and needing men to validate them, loose, emotional, spontaneous, etc) or damsels in distress for the men folk.

Q: Is there a way to create bad boy excitement with a good guy?

Pat Love: I always say: It's easier to make a good man hard than to make a hard man good. Friendship gets a relationship to go the distance. Women will say, "I love him, but I'm not in love with him." Or, "He doesn't stimulate me." And I say, "You have to have a life that does that." If you want excitement, then get a good guy and create an exciting life.

Great Article! It took me along time to finally get and understand why chemistry/infatuation was so unhealthy. Something to be avoided not looked for.

This article really hit home for me hope, it described me in so many ways.

But NOW I am engaged to a good /nice guy and together life is so much more exciting than it was with any of the "bad boys". It's like all the energy one used to use just to maintian the relationship gets used in making life better and having fun doing it together. No cat and mouse games, no picking petals off of the old helovesme/lovesmenot daisies.

I do know a few girls like the article describes. My best friend in fact...but after much pain/IC/introspection she is starting to really "get" it too.

So some can change, but idea is to find them after they have changed, and not before. It takes incredible pain to change so probably most don't.
