Satisfy your temptations, but don't overindulge
I've heard men speak of how they want to "vanquish" some girl in their physics class, or girls talk about how they "owned" that guy last night. The power struggle is intoxicating, but how far can you go before it actually starts to hurt?
In the end, a balance is crucial. People are terrified that the opposite of these dangerous liaisons is either an Amish-like society in which flashing someone an ankle is considered porn, or worse, feeling trapped in a perfect relationship with a perfect person who will help you breed perfect children and ultimately (from an evolutionary standpoint, of course) await your perfect death.
It is possible to find someone exciting (if you know what I mean) and also know that they have your back.
Granted, it doesn't happen that often, but it's something to aspire to. In the meantime, it's important to take responsibility for your limits and for yourself - the reason your friends complain about you going back to that "douche bag" again and again isn't because they hate him so much, it's because they're sick of having to clean up the mess.
So give everyone a break, but mostly yourself, and say goodbye to the dandy and hello to the candy ... eye candy of course.
