I think in every woman's life, there will always be three types of guys.
There is Mr. Good, Mr. Bad, and Mr. Perfect Balance:
Mr. Bad. This is a character that will do what he pleases and get away with it . He is hated by the nice guys because he actually scores a couple times in his life. He is usually the guy that other guys envy because he has the girl and they do not. He is named Bad for a reason. Girls like him because he doesn't think inside the box because he's too busy breaking down the box or pissing in it. He is attractive and mysterious because he hides his emotions more often than he shares them. He acts aloof on a regular basis (never calls, texts, or checks up on you). He doesn't even seem to care about the girl he is currently with. He doesn't have a clingy factor which makes women desire him. He is a challenge to all and a force to be reckoned with. Women are attracted to a challenge, and Mr. Bad can definitely bring it on.
Unfortunately, Mr. Bad has the problem of being too bad. He is too uncaring, too judgmental, too angry, too anti-authority, and too thick-headed to listen. What becomes attractive fades into disgust after a woman tries to "fix" him or "help him". Sorry, Mr. Bad is most likely not changing for you. What Nice Guys see in them, women usually do not until they have had their hearts broken (and most likely, their belongings stolen).
Mr. Good. Mr. Good is a sweet, kind-hearted soul, who would be there through all the pains and all the problems a woman is going through. This should be a BIG sign to women that this guy is interested in them. No guy would honestly go out of their way to help a woman unless he had some factor of interest. Mr. Good is there for you through thick and thin, and will do just about ANYTHING to make you happy.
But, he's too clingy. He cares about everything you do (and he calls/texts you nonstop). He wants to know the details of your life from how your day was (which is tolerable) to how many sheets of toilet paper you used on your last run to the bathroom (joking... maybe...?) Mr. Good is a creeper. He usually tends to fall into the category of being the woman's friend, but usually never the boyfriend. There is a very good reason for that, and it is perfectly understandable why. Mr. Good isn't aloof. Mr. Good basically gives his own life away to share in living with the woman of interest, and he will be malleable enough to be pushed around by his woman. He throws away all of his free time to spend time creeping on the woman of interest (though she may not know it) and obeying her commands. He may be reliable to do some kind of favor, but he is not a keeper relationship-wise because he isn't a fun risk to take. Mr. Good fails because he is TOO GOOD. Every woman with Mr. Good usually end up as friends (to a certain degree).
Mr. Perfect Balance. Mr. Perfect is well.... perfect. He knows the limit to call, he can cheer a woman up with ease on her worst days, he has his own life but shares, and he knows how to make a woman happy. I know this is a vague definition, but Mr. Perfect is someone who is right for every woman, and all women have different tastes. This man comes around once every solar eclipse and once you have him, you best not let him go. He is like the Baby Bear's porridge from Goldilocks. Women may come across Mr. Perfect, but it's no guarantee though. He may be in your life, he may be waiting to be found, or maybe you let him go.
If you are a guy, what side do you think YOU fall on? Good or Bad? If you are a girl, what would you prefer (excluding Mr. Perfect)?

What if I already *have* Mr Perfect?
I've been with both good and bad...and now that I'm with Mr. Perfect, I really can't go back and even think about the guys I've been with that fit into those categories.
I have yet to meet Mr. Perfect so I don't believe he exists. It's usually one extreme or the other and they both drive me nuts.
Yep, been with all 3, currently & happily married to Mr. Perfect Balance :D
I've been with Mr. Good and have yet to find my Mr. Perfect.
i love this post, its so true. i've had my share with all three guys, and im with mr. perfect balance atm, and he's a definite keeper :)
Agh, I've dated only Mr. Goods so far. To be honest, maybe a Mr. Bad once in a while would be ok.
great post and i have been with all three types. i am currently and happy with mr perfect. ♥
Ive been with all 3...I have the magnet mr bad..but I hated being with mr good because I felt as if I couldnt do anything by myself, i felt suffocated... I now have mr perfect balance so im happy and dont have to choose :D.
I haven't been with a Mr. Bad yet... haha, they're definitely more interesting than the Mr. Goods out there.
I've had my share of Mr. Bads, bad as in they just didn't work out due to personality and insecurity problems or whatever. I've now found my Mr. Perfect Balance and let me tell you if I had to go back to Mr. Good or Mr. Bad I'd flat out swear off dating. Once you've had something really good it's darn near impossible to go back to something else especially when it's less than what you had before.
I think being with mr bad was way more exciting than with mr good but for the long run, I'd choose mr good. maybe I can make him a little bad in time LOL
Although I agree with the majority part of this entry, I fear that you're simply categorizing or stereotyping the many different "types" of guys into THREE parts that we've recognized.
What about a Mama's boy? Where does he fit? Is he Mr. Good because he lacks the qualities of a Bad-boy? What about an Asshole with a heart of gold? If he's an asshole to everyone but you, does he qualify as as a Good guy? It's nice to think that we see personal traits in various people that we can link together so we feel we have "control" in who we associate with, however, aren't we just pigeon holing ourselves?
just being a devil's advocate...........tossing ideas in there....... heh heh heh
nice post
lol i've been with my share of mr. good and mr. bad. So I guess now I'm just waiting for Mr. Perfect Balance
I started dating my current boyfriend because he had the "bad boy" thing going for him. Little did I know that it was just his outside that was Mr. Bad and he ended up being Mr. Perfect. Lucky me! :)
Mr Mysterious :)
I think on that scale, my guy is closest to being Mr. Perfect. He's not quite perfectly balanced yet, but he is balanced enough. Kind of like me. :) I'm thankful for him and the fact he keeps my life interesting, to say the least. Haha. :)
<3, ~*Akarui Mitsukai*~
i believe i'm with a mr. good right now... but we'll see if he turns to a mr. perfect :)
ive been with mr. bad and mr. good, but ive yet to find mr. perfect.
I've been in a relationship with 2 Mr. Bad's, 1 Mr. Major Baggage (he fit into neither of the categories offered) and kind of saw another Mr. Bad for a short time, though it never went into bf/gf mode (none of them ever achieved their ultimate goal (aka sex) ::pats self on the back:: lol). Mr. Good's I NEVER dated, because I didn't want to deal with that drama lol, I've gone out on a date with 2 or 3 of them, but it never turned to anything more than friendship.
Luckily after almost 2 years of the dating experience (from age 18 to just before I was 20, it was a whirl wind), I met Mr. Perfect and have been with him ever since :D
Lol, way to generalize all guys into 3 categories.
I used to be the HARDCORE Mr. Good in high school-and I've gotten rejected/played/lied to/dissed because of it. Now I'm Mr. Bymydangself in medical school.
I'm a guy....and I am not really like ANY of those 3 guys.
@katorng@xanga - I was thinking the same thing.
hmmm well I don't like to say perfect because I believe that perfect is non existent. plus idk about categorizing guys cuz some aren't like any of these
But if I were to say "perfect" as in "perfect for me", then yeah I have him already. =]
My friend has some attributes of the Mr. Bad but I don't find him desirable lol he's just kinda carefree and isn't always there for me. Mr. Good, I don't think I have one haha which is fine cuz my boyfriend is the 1 for me and he's not perfect but I love that he's not :]
