I was being interviewed yesterday about my book and one of the questions the interviewer asked me was:

"Why do you continue to be attracted to narcissistic men?"

I explained that narcissists are fun and fascinating people at first. They're charming, adventurous, fun, witty and great conversationalists. They're typically very well-read, fun to banter with and very philosophical. I explained that you do not see their true colors until after settling down with them.

His response to my reply:

"Oh, so you like the bad boy?"

This led to an interesting conversation about what women love about the bad boy. Barbara forwarded me the link below and I'm posting it here because I'd love to hear your thoughts. What do you think?!

I looked up a book with a similar title to "It's All About Him" at Amazon. And that's how I came across Lisa's book. I thought this would be much more interesting to me so I bought it.

I should be receiving it today! I am so curious... Thank you Lisa!

I guess I like the bad boy, if you want to call it that, and I have found myself involved in three major relationships in my life with this "type" of man (one relationship I am currently in now), even though my intuition warned me in advance.

Because of this I realized I needed to take a look at myself to understand why I choose to put myself in this position, and what attracts me this type of person. I take full responsibility for any heartache and aweful behavior I've accepted in these relationships.

Once I finish reading the book, I am looking forward to join in on some of the discussion topics.
