                       Why We All Love A Bad Boy   
      
   I have seen swathes of women on social media saying that they always fall   
   for the wrong guys. I have seen guys say they always end up with psychos.   
   But is there any truth to this. Can we not help ourselves? Are we drawn to   
   these qualities?   
      
   But because they show glimpses of humanity we are desperate to see them   
   turn.   
      
   The same can be said in the cult sci-fi show Buffy the vampire slayer. Spike   
   is a truly horrendous killing machine that only turns away from evil because   
   an electronic chip in his head is preventing it. There isn’t even a moral   
   compass to this guy. Yet we, as fans love the guy! And when he finally   
   started making the odd kind decision we lapped it up. We were willing to   
   overlook the fact that he brutally killed people and attacked characters   
   that we cared about because he had become a bit less of a jerk.
