There's just something I find ridiculously irresistible about "bad" guys...& it's not even the tattoos or piercings or even the super-sexy long locks (um, just me?).
It's the attitude.
I'm not sure why, but there's definitely something to be said about a man who is well, a man. And dangerous. And even emotionally (or at least physically - while he's out riding his Harley or tagging the city) unavailable.
I often find myself involved with boys who have something a little "rugged" or "bad boy"-esque about them. Whether it's because he plays in a metal band, has adorned his face with metal studs or even just because he seems to always find his own kind of fun (and potentially illegal) shenanigans to get into, I can't help but love me some bad boy.
Some people blame it on biology. Some people blame it on psychology (like, good girls like bad guys because, well, opposites attract). Others blame it on stupidity. What do YOU blame it on? Why do you think good girls (or just girls in general) go for bad guys?

Bad guys are just so much more fun than good guys. lol Maybe? Well, good girls are used to doing the "good" thing. There's just something so exciting about the unfamiliar.
I kind of love bad boys.
...And then women wonder why their boyfriends are worthless...
*sigh*
I fell for a good guy.
My boyfriend looks like a typical bad boy but he´s such a sweetheart. If his attitude was shitty then I wouldn´t even bother.
The guy I'm seeing right now pretty much comes off with a boy boy attitude to begin with, but once you get to know him, he's such a sweetheart. He still likes to pretend he's tough and a bad influence, and all those things, but I just laugh and tell him he's too cute to be bad.
Though he does have the tattoos and piercings and even the super-sexy long locks...
No idea. More girls for me I guess.

"down a winding pathway, in a garden old, tripped a lovely maiden, but her heart was cold.came a prince to woo her, said he loved her true.maiden said he didn't, so he ceased to woo.came a perfumed noble- dropping on one knee;said his love was deeper, than the deepest sea. but the winsome maiden, said his love was dead, and the perfumed noble excepted what she said.came a dashing stranger, took her off by force.said he'd make her love him- and she did of course"NOT MY WORK IDK WHO's seems fitting though!i think that 98% of girls will eventually date a bad boy. why? because throughout history it's always been that way. look at romeo and juliet. why did they continue to see each other even after their families said no? because they loved each ... but i bet you that the idea of doing something wrong also added to their untimely death. i dated a "bad boy" because i knew that behind all that was an amazing person. i wanted to help him. i wanted to change him. i wanted to be the girl that could make him into a better person. also i think that 9 times out of 10 "bad boys" aren't really that bad. sure they may have a lot of tattoos or piercings or crazy and wild hair but behind every tattoo is a story ...
i'm not sure, but for some reason, i'm pretty attracted to bad boys.
@turnyalightsdownlow@xanga - Hon, the one's with tattoes aren't always bad. It's the smooth talkers you gotta look out for.
i fell in love with a 'badboy' everyone thinks hes all tough butt im the only one that knows hes really a big soffty.
I think women want to be with the person who appears independent and in control of himself. She wants to be part of that person's life and maybe she thinks her attraction to that person will keep her on her toes and excited because he is the bad boy. He is not supposed to be the norm, he's supposed to be different and unique. Works well for some people and horribly for others.
Bad boys are not attractive because they're "bad". They're attractive because they exude confidence.
I'm attracted to bad boys... just not too many tattoos or piercings though. I don't want him to look like a walking art project... but eventually I got tired of them (the legit bad boys, not the I-wanna-act-bad ones. lol) Now I'm attracted to... intelligence and power. xD
i like them slightly bad, but i hate piercings on guys. most can't pull any off.
i can't really give you an answer, all i can say is that maybe it has something to do with me trying to change them to become a good guy. or i'm just rebellious or just curious. bad guys aren't really bad once you get to know them.
I had a really short relationship with a bad guy...but I had a 2-3 year long relationship with the good guy. Eh. The bad guy was just hot - that's why when he told me he liked me I started liking him.
It started with lust. My long relationship, however, started off with me and the guy being best friends for about half a year before we realized how much we loved each other. Cute, right? lol
ehh it all happens to the best of us...i guess we fall for that confidence that the bad boys have.......I mean if you think abt it the reason they're so bad is because they are so cocky and confident. they have HUGE ego's and from a first glance thats really attractive......until you see that the confidence is actually cockiness and because they know they can get away and do what they want....they;re assholes. It a ruthless circle.
I've gotta say biology - there's something about us bad boys that make the girls melt... in their pants! :P (jk! jk!)
But seriously, there is a biological explanation for it all, dating back to the times of the caveman, where someone who was strong enough to protect and provide was seen as the kind of person who a woman needed to be with, and there's something of that left in the biological make up of a woman looks for in a man. It's not EXACTLY the same, but the response is still triggered by things we perceive as dangerous and exciting. Some people get that way about a marketable skill, so it's not limited to the dangerous, but extends to the ability to provide.
Just my two cents.
we secretly think we can fix them
...but we can't.
@QuantumStorm@xanga - *ding!* /end thread of conversation.
I think It's probably because nice girls are a bit bored with their own nice lives and are looking for a bit of EXCITEMENT! (I'm not just saying you, but in general)
