wounded bird syndrome

Wounded Bird Syndrome, or WBS, is when a guy gets hurt either physically or emotionally and uses his wound to attract other girls. This is an effective, if underhanded, way of getting dates.

Bob broke his arm, so Tom took him as his wingman to play the Wounded Bird Syndrome card.

Wounded Bird Syndrome

When someone(more often than not a straight guy) who is a "model" citizen who's healthy, conforms to societal norms, etc, is attracted to someone who has usually had multiple traumatic events or a hard life involving drug abuse and addiction, parent/friend loss, being a rape victim, prostitute, etc, with the idea that they love the person who was scarred by the world, seeing them for being kind. In turn they feel they can help the person get over their trauma and start a loving family with them and die old together. This more often than not though leads to said person finding out the person they were attracted to is stuck in their ways, awfully damaged in multiple ways, aggressive, or doesn't want that happy lifestyle. If they do get with the person they're attracted to it often ends in them just being a hookup.

Brock has wounded bird syndrome. He tried dating some Russian sex trafficked girl named amelia who's coke addicted because they had fun talking on tinder, but she said if she fucked him it'd only be once and she was going to fuck 5 other guys that week. He tried to get her to move in with him and failed.
