10 Reasons You Might Fall For JJ MORE Than John B On Netflix’s 'Outer Banks'

Instagram/@obx

By now, you've already binged Netflix's "Outer Banks" at least once — if not more (and if you haven't, you should go do so immediately).

And while most people watching instantly gravitated toward falling in love with John B, there are some people who couldn't help but find themselves loving his best friend, JJ. This is because JJ is the perfect combination of broken, hot, stupid, caring, and authentic. Watching him make decisions is like watching a train wreck happen in slow motion — it's brutal, but you can't turn away.

Here are 10 reasons you might find yourself loving JJ even more than John B:

1. You love guys who might ruin your life.

You all know who you are.

2. You think a guy holding a gun is hot.

3. You have a soft spot for blondes.

I mean, just look at that HAIR.

4. You're a true Pogue at heart.

Sure, John B is a pogue too — but something tells me JJ would never EVER fall for a Kook.

5. You love to fix broken people.

Every time JJ had a good emotional breakdown, you wish you were there to hug him.

6. You like to party.

Look me in the eyes and tell me you didn't want to be in that $25,000 hot tub drinking champagne with ya boy.

7. You love guys who don't give a fuck.

If you've ever said "YOLO" unironically, JJ is your cup of tequila.

8. You love guys who will do anything for their friends.

JJ taking the fall for Pope had you swooning.

9. You are attracted to people who take chances.

10. You love a good underdog.

At the end of the day, it's just hard not to root for good things to happen to JJ.

15 Female TV Characters Who Prove That Women Actually Rule

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
