Save It! The Worst Relationship Advice From Black Rom Coms

He only loves you if he’s crazy…and therefore able to cause bodily harm to himself

This 2004 flick kind of went a bit under the radar. Breakin’ All The Rules came out just a couple of years before Jamie Foxx would win the Oscar for his portrayal of Ray Charles. Before that he was Quincy Watson, an author who had written a successful guide on how to break up with people. After publishing the book, he unknowingly meets his cousin’s soon-to-be ex girlfriend and the two hit it off. On their first date, Quincy tells the soon-to-be ex, Nicky (Gabrielle Union), that to be in love with somebody places you in an altered mental state. (Ok, we can go with that.) And that state defies our natural instincts, including self preservation. So much so that when a person is in love, he or she would be able to bite through their own flesh. LOL I’m sorry, I wish I was making this stuff up. But I promise you, it’s in the movie. There’s no need to even discuss this one, yeah I love you and I might even be willing to harm myself to protect you; but what does biting through my own flesh have to do with anything?!
