Got a guy on your mind, but you’re not on his? He’s a f*ckboy. But it’s not completely your fault that you keep falling for them...
We always want what we don’t have. I believe Confucius said that. Or Yoda. Well whoever it was, they knew the pull of the f*ckboy. It’s a zesty buzzword used to describe a guy who’s never quite in your grasp. He strings you along by giving you just what you need to keep the thirst going—be it sex, flirty messages, the odd outing—but he’s never quite yours. Which only makes you want him more.
WHY WE FALL FOR IT
We’ve all dealt with one—I know I have, multiple times! They’re just so damn addictive. A dose of oxytocin is released with sex, and that’s what makes women feel closer to their companion. Team it with a f*ckboy and, well, ‘The old Mel can’t come to the phone now.’ Why? ‘Oh, ’coz she’s dead,’ etcetera.
We’ve seen it before: hookup with a guy you’re not even sure you want to see again, and you’re suddenly in love—and he won’t return your texts. Why?
