About this episode

We've all heard the cliche of why it's more intoxicating to date a "bad boy", but why do people so often pursue people who put them on an emotional rollercoaster? And why do we often assume people are more worth having when they make things more difficult? In this episode, Matthew, Stephen, Audrey and Jameson talk about various aspects of the bad boy and look at some mindset shifts that can help us choose someone who is actually healthy for a long-term relationship.
