I read an article debating the fact wether girls really do love jerks or not.
Really,
we do.
and it's because we love the idea that we could be the one to tame them.
That for some reason,
our love is the love that it takes to make them change their ways.
and
when they are,
occasionally,
paying attention to you,
you feel like there is no one else in the world that they would rather be with.
And that's because their attention is usually so all over the place,
that to see it focused is overpoweringly flattering.
The truth is,
they will never be forced to settle down.
They have lived their life doing whatever it is they want to do,
so why would they change for you.
They will only change when they decide on their own that they are done fishing
and that they will take what they have caught already.
Even then you can't be sure that they have really changed.
You can only hope.
