Fake Nice Guys, "Romantic" Red Flags, & The Toxic Relationship Obsession, Explained | Compilation

Joe Goldberg from Netflix's You is a master manipulator and a perfect example of the scariest type of boyfriend: one that pulls you into a seemingly great relationship, only to flip the switch and become very dangerous. In this compilation video, we're taking a look back at Joe and other love bombers, unpacking the "Nice Guy" trope (like How I Met Your Mother's Ted Mosby, Friends' Ross Geller & more), analyzing why movies and tv shows try to make the biggest dating red flags seem romantic (from Twilight to The Notebook to 50 Shades of Grey & beyond), digging into the rise of the Anti-Romcom, and taking a look at how You took on the 'eat the rich trope' back in season 4!
