"We will probably never understand back holes. Or why women fall madly in love with douchebags"
@AmandaMadison1
Now, I don't know AmandaMadison1 (hell, I don't even have a Twitter account), but I like that she tells it like it is. It's a strange phenomenon that amuses me no end. And I don't believe it is restricted to romantic relationships. People tend to be attracted to arseholes; for some reason, they are very popular. They treat others like shit yet people flock to them, vying for their attention. I have tried to understand this behaviour but I have never been able to fully comprehend it.
I have a couple of weak theories though. Firstly, arseholes tend to have good communication skills; they can talk their way out of anything. Perhaps that's why they tend to also be very arrogant; they believe they are untouchable. And, to a certain extent, they are (but not for the reasons they believe). Along with this is the fact that confidence can be very sexy.
Another theory is that people want to fix the arseholes of the world. Perhaps they feel like they are in a position to show the person that is mean and judgmental the error of their ways and teach them how to do things differently. Perhaps they see it as a personal project; one that they can embark on and prove their own worth with.
One thing's for sure, if you fall for a douchebag you are likely to have to pull yourself out of a black hole.
