    Because most women are natural care takers , they like men that are a challenge to them , if he isn’t a challenge to her? She will more than likely lose interest in him , why so many females’ chase after the bad boy type, because she feels she can take care of him and fix him. Most girls’ don’t want to be with a guy that chases after her completely , she wants to be the chaser. Most Females are like cats , they come to you when they need attention , when you give them too much attention, they will either attack you or run away , and then they eventually come back to you when they calm down or they find themselves another cat to play with , Not saying all females are this way , but a majority of them are. For a guy to keep a girl by his side , he pretty much has to learn how to balance between being good and bad , if he is too good to her? , she will lose interest , if he is too bad to her? she will lose interest , so it’s best for a guy to be both toward her , to keep her on her toes. Never allow a girl to be your leader , if she tries to be dominate over you? Straighten her ass out , and put her back in line , a girl that loves you and values you and appreciates you, is going to look up to you , not down at you. She will have no problem being submissive to you and getting on her knees for you , or wanting to be in your arms. If she isn’t being submissive to you? She is probably being submissive to someone else , mark my words. Most girls’ want a man she can look up to , that she feels safe and protected and loved by , she is drawn to his masculine energy that she doesn’t have within herself, if a girl has a dominate personality? Her ass needs a Simp , not a Man , there are plenty of Simps out there, that she can go after that shockingly get off on her spreading her legs to other men that are dominate and masculine to her , while the Simp is jerking off to her getting pounded by another guy. My advice is find yourself a submissive girl that looks up to you and cherishes you and appreciates you , do not go for a girl that has dominant traits , she will make your life a living hell. A good girl is a girl that stays loyal and faithful to you , that only wants you that isn’t selfish. A bad girl is a girl that only wants things her way that thinks all men are assholes , that prioritizes her so called friends over prioritizing you , she is more than likely toxic and will not treat you the way you deserve to be treated. Kick those bitches to the curb where they belong. Never give our heart to a selfish girl period that is trying to be dominate over
    You, trust me

    Because they chase Chadrone and he will never commit. These women habituate to the constant dopamine hits from drama Chadrone provides, and eventually this brain chemistry becomes an addiction.

    You know that saying, you accept the love you think you deserve? it's that basically - i know SO many women who've stayed in shitty relationships, now i can't say i understand most of them but in some circumstances i do understand why it's hard to say no or leave - mostly though i think people in general should just know better, if you have nothing burdening you or holding you back from leaving a shit relationship, why are you staying in it? people need to think about themselves and realise they are better happy and alone than unhappy and dating

  • Aiming to add some spice while solving the mystery of toxic attraction! 🌶️ Oh, the allure of the "bad boy" is a tale as old as time, isn't it? Sometimes, it's like a siren call—the danger, the excitement, it beckons, promising adventure but often leading to heartbreak. Here's the thing, love shouldn't be an extreme sport where your heart is the prize. Seeking a bit of thrill? Sure, but remember, steady and caring might not make your heart race in panic, but it'll definitely have it pacing in pure bliss. Let's trade the rollercoaster for a scenic route. After all, who said steady has to mean boring? There's nothing yawn-worthy about deep connection, trust, and a partner who's there for you, rain or shine. 🚣‍♂️💕 Let's pivot towards love that uplifts, not the kind that sends us spiraling. Love smart, not hard!

      Let's trade the rollercoaster for a scenic route. After all, who said steady has to mean boring? Because it is boring. If deep connection trust and a partner who is there for you weren't yawn worthy the toxic dudes would be out of business.

    In September 18, 1951 A Street Car Named Desire hit the theatres. All the housewives went to see it in the afternoon while there husbands were working. On screen you had Marlon Brando as the toxic "bad boy" beating the shit out of his woman and in the crowd you had thousands of women across America fainting because of it. They weren't disgusted by it they were so aroused that it made them faint. This was the first time a Bad Boy on screen made women feel that rollercoaster of emotions. James Dean came shortly after. This is well documented to a point where all the theatres had to lie and say the air conditioning was broke and this was why they were all fainting.

    As backward as this behavior is I won’t judge women for their self destructive behavior impulses

    However they do not deserve a shoulder to cry on when they make these stupid decisions. Far and wide thats what I’m 110% fed up. Especially in modern western culture where women no longer need a man for financial support. Law enforcement most often completely sides with them (often to an unfair extent). At this point it’s a completely voluntarily decision 99 out of 100 times for a woman to tolerate this.

    Instead of looking for sympathy they need to take accountability for their shitty dating decisions. You do have control over your emotions ladies. Quit demanding “gender equality” and then acting like perpetual adolescents by not taking full responsibility for your bad dating decisions.

    I swear at least 50% of male on female domestic violence would not occur on society if it wasn’t for this feminine mental quirk to begin with.

      Just to clarify I am NOT okay with men abusing and mistreating men. Not at all.

      But I am not going to walk down a dark alleys and hold up my wallet that is stuffed with hundred dollar bills saying “hey look at me look at me”. If I got beaten and robbed in that scenario I would technically still be a victim. And it would be wrong for that to happen to me.

      However men know that society doesn’t give us sympathy for our bad decisions. We are expected to take responsibility. We are held to a higher responsibility.

      It’s time that women are too. No excuse for it in the modern era.

    "Addicted"? Respectfully, I think the 20-something generation has been overusing that term to cover almost every and any repeticious decision or routine. This one for example… Toxic people and things in a person's life can be SO subtle and insiduous that a person doesn't see them coming. Why assume it's an addiction? Having survived, escaped and (thankfully) recovered from a highly toxic relationship like this, I can tell you that as soon as I undertood the reality of the situation I worked my way out of it and finally found great happiness on my own… promising myself to be more mindful of red flags in the future.


    Having said this, I know there are women (and men) who are so insecure that they would rather be in a toxic situation than to be alone. A sad reality, but even those would be attributed to personal anxiety rather than addition.

    In the U. S., it's because of the endless media hype showing garbage traits as being cool. Low level drug dealer? Wannabe gangster? Trust fund fuckboys? Bums leeching off the girls monthly check? Going in bars and picking up every other guys girl and acting tough? Running your mouth about how much ass you kick while bumming $5 and getting out of jail for the 4th time this year? This is seen as badass in the U. S. A tough guy. In Mexico, he'll just disappear. Flat out disappear. Fast. American culture pushes these "values," that's why. The U. S. is a BIG sheep culture, when it comes to people marching lock in step with whatever a celebrity does, says, thinks. Their "values" aren't welcome virtually anywhere else in the world, that's why what a lot of women go for there... gets a guy thrown in a tlrathole prison in 30 years for most other plaves-if he'll even be living at all.

    Growing up the dumb women that went after toxic guys always thought they could "fix him" and then they of course were shocked when he would beat their faces in and cheat on her and treat her like trash. When you play stupid games you win stupid prizes

    Believe it or not contrary to one of the many lies of our cultural leader. Women instinctively are drawn to strong men.

    The same men that our same cultural leaders now condemn leading mostly to just the "toxic" ones showing those traits.

    One of a number of ways where our dishonest cultural leaders have killed our culture. Most likely because they noticed strong men tend not to be agreeable to them.

    All a man has to do is be an asshole one time, and witness how suddenly all the ladies within 15 feet are smiling and looking at you and laughing and getting closer and touching you.

    All it takes is one time. And the illusion of female sexuality being even remotely moral disappears forever.

    Perhaps because even today, society tends to blame women for relationship problems, thus giving a woman the idea that she's responsible for any physical and/or emotional abuse from her partner.
