I want a psychological explanation why humans are attracted to bitches and bad boys (for heteros). I've experience this at work too, there's this annoying client that even though they're not that important I was so eager to get them sign up?
Idk if you got your answer since this is kind of a late reply, I mostly can speak from a woman perspective more than a man but in general is that woman have this thing called "magic thought" or "hero syndrom" where they think they can change bad people with love but of course thats just extremely unrealistic as you only get yourself destroyed. Toxic people are "attractive" mainly because of their negativity and so you want to help them. Be a hero. For "empty" people specially, being awknowledged as someone who has been a mess they think to themselves "one day they might thank me for what I'm doing" and that is a very addictive thought. I guess that would mainly be it. As woman we are very close to emotions as well so yea there is really a lot I could elaborate about, but that would mainly be it. Hopefully this is helpful.
