One of our favorite Facebook groups Boi's Revealed had a discussion this past week and we wanted to bring it to the people. 

This week on Unpacked the Podcast we unpack the topic: Why do we chase people who make it known they just wanna be friends, are not interested in a relationship, have not healed from the past, are not compassionate to their feelings, and so on? Why do so many of us allow women to use us emotionally, financially, and sexually in hopes they'll fall in love with us?
