Why he is bad for you? This guy is only interested in what you have.

(They’re the ones who call when you’re together and he just ignores their calls) He thinks he’s black, when in most cases, he’s not. Lacks any empathy, career ambition, and any chance of staying true to you. (Unless it’s the winter…but come spring, watch out!) He’s most likely a nympho and he’s also trying to make money the fastest way possible…Do I need to explain further?
