women discuss the "bad boys" they dated and their fates

Personally, I went through this phase at 19, at the beginning of my career as a classical ballet dancer. I was living alone in Paris (I'm french), and I think I craved excitement and novelty. Classical dance is an art that demands rigor and discipline, so outwardly, I was the cliché of the well-behaved girl. But I had gone through a rough adolescence, wanting to break free from that image, so I did some foolish things (teenage foolishness, of course). I think my dance teachers still remember that rebellious phase of my life, haha.

I found out he was involved in a horrific case of gang r*pe. I also learned that he had had a girlfriend throughout our entire relationship. I was horrified.

this is so French it feels fake
