“My current bad boy is a puzzle I am trying to solve. He is manipulative and a misogynist. I am just trying to see how much I can change him,” a woman confessed. Nice guys don’t usually need to be fixed. Bad boys usually do, so they become a project. Women think if they can change them into perfect men, they will never leave them. Also, if they’re busy fixing someone else, they don’t have to look at what needs to be fixed in their own lives.
