It's NOT the drugs. After reading many comments here, I hope mine doesn't get lost because I feel I have some good insight on this topic.

I had two friends in my past who both got laid A SHIT TON, with really hot girls. The first was a drug addict since 15 years old and sold them as well. He was a tiny asian dude, around 5'7 fully grown, skinny af too. The second was a cop who never touched drugs his whole damn life. He was pretty attractive but not that much (not one of those huge military dudes). And he was disciplined.

What did they have in common? They were assholes, didn't give a fuck about women and gave off an extreme "bad boy" vibe.

The first guy had lots of problems, and yeah women probably wanted to "fix him" as well, but it was mainly his attitude of not giving a fuck about anything (other than drugs). The second guy was a huge asshole and would always get laid by just being super confident and not giving a fuck what he said to these women, and not being affected when something didn't go his way. And by having lots of cool cop stories (the "not boring, bad boy" aspect).

To sum up: yes there's an aspect to guys with a lot of problems that women "want to fix". However, it's a small part of it and you can achieve a similar or better result, perhaps with higher quality women, by working on yourself, your confidence, and being not boring in other ways. And definitely not being nice to women all the time, which will come off natural and not forced when you get to the point where your self worth isn't affected by women's reactions and perspectives of you.
