Why are women so drawn to "bad boys"?


Recommended Posts

People always say that it's because of the danger...because there's excitement. But when women keep getting hurt by "bad boys", why do they complain and then go right back to him/them?

 

And what would you say is the definition of a "bad boy" anyway?

Dunno. Personally I don't find that attractive at all, so, whatever. I think a lot of women have that sort of primal need for physical strength in a man, and nice guys in their minds come off like wimps. I don't like wimps, but I don't equate a nice guy with a wimp, nor do I equate strength of character with being a rebel or bad boy type. I think a lot of women do that though.

Going out on a limb...it probably works both ways...but it seems like if a guy treats a girl like a queen, she'll walk all over him, and if he treats her like dirt, she'll worship the ground he walks on. "Oh, but he's really a good person, and he really loves me" she says through black eyes and swollen lips. I've seen this happen all too often. Like I say, it probably works both ways...

Ditto Lee

I don't find so called bad boys attractive in anyway, in actual fact, they put me right of!

I get really put of by the attitude and the way they look like their somethng special.

I've been there and seen it and most men that think they have something to offer turn out to be jerks anyway and tend to lie their way through life instead of being upfront.

A decent man with some morals and he could be the ugliest of men means more in that they treat you properly rather than look down at you all the time.

I certainly don't find men with bad arse attitudes and all the best things attractive at all.

I personally think decent men are are hard to find in this day and age but at least I found mine and wouldn't change him for the world.

For real! You nailed it sistah!

 

I think many people of both sexes are just looking for someone to live a lie with. That explains the whole manipulation/game playing thing on both sides: "I'll maintain this mystique/fantasy thing if you'll fall for it." And people do. Ugh.

Oh sure! They say this now.

But then check out the guy they dump you for!

 

And then you're like' "What do you see in THAT guy? You know he's just gonna hurt you."

And they're like; "Oh, he's different! You just don't him on the inside! I can change him! I can change him!"

 

My wife, for some strange reason, thinks Tommy Lee is sexy. TOMMY frikk'n LEE! The same womanizer who goes for the cheapest bimbo he can find. The same guy who is physically abusive. The same guy who has enough ink on him to look like the underside of a bridge. Yeah, THAT Tommy Lee.

 

Don't ask me what she sees in him. Maybe it has to do with doing to a religious school all your life. My wife is pretty straight, but there is definitely a rebelious streak beneath the surface.

Way2fat hits it out of the park with:

Its hard work to be an asshole all the time, but at least you get laid.
I live for years as a rock 'n roll cliche. No real job, no car, no apartment, a cheap bass and rig, questionable hygiene, constantly drunk and/or stoned, never giving straight answers, making no promises and refusing to change anything about my life at the time. I was, by any standard, a womanizing jerk. I wasn't even pretty. I remember strolling through a casino one morning thinking it strange that I had not eaten or gotten laid and it was almost noon. I immediately ordered a pizza. While waiting for my pizza I picked up a girl in the lobby. Of course I was supposed to be seeing 4 other women in Vegas, but they weren't as convenient as girl in the lobby.

 

Women love the bad boy.

 

I have reformed my ways. I am a husband, a father and a registered voter (3 thing I thought I would never be). But as I look around the clubs and bars, nothing has changed.

 

And since this seems to be the decade of the jerk...

Umm... yeah, cuz he's my favorite GUITAR player. Not cuz I wanna go OUT with him.

 

I wouldn't call him a typical "bad boy" anyway. I've met him and he is not a jerk at all, and is good to his wife and kids by all accounts. But still, I'd definitely enjoy hanging out with him more, but not dating him! :D

Wow.

Sorry, I've never said or thought that.

YOW. That's pretty scary. I used to see him around L.A. a lot before Motley Crue was even very famous and he was an abusive jerk THEN. And about the last thing I would've thought was sexy even though I was only a teen at the time. Nahh, my idea of sexy then was peace loving hippie freaks. :D

Some shit never changes. Way back in '68, I had a girlfriend that broke up with me to start going with a guy who wound up slapping on her, cheating on her, and eventually giving her the clap.

 

....but he had a cool CAR!

Although "good girls like bad boys" is the cliche we're discussing in this thread...

 

It's also just as "true" that "good boys like bad girls"...

 

Maybe they don't want to "marry" them... maybe they think they can "change" them... but they're often "attracted" to them... no doubt.

 

How many times to you hear about the middle aged married man with kids, leaving his wife for the "stripper girlfriend".

 

Or JFK and Marilyn.

 

Charlie Sheen and Ginger Lynn.

 

My point is... it goes both ways.

I'm still "guitplayer"!

Yeah, and I had a boyfriend once who dumped me for some bimbo he worked with who was so stupid he couldn't even have a conversation with her without getting mad at her. But she sure did have big tits! :rolleyes:

 

What can I say, there are a lot of just plain stupid people in the world who make stupid choices of a mate based on equally stupid reasons. I try not to see all guys as being somehow like my ex boyfriend though, ya know?

Well Ken there you have it. A nice caring guy like

Keith Richards doesn't stand a chance. Girls "just

want to be his friend". If Burl Ives played guitar

like Richards before Richards did, Lee would have

been the High Priestess in the Church of Burl Ives. The Rolling Stones, the sensitive an

thoughtful boys of rock and roll.

Not hardly, I think he's done quite all right with women. ;) In my case I just wouldn't want to date him because we have shall we say, incompatible lifestyles. :D

The women who go for badboys are insecure with themselves, and look up to the "bad boy" because he quickly comes off as though he's brimming with confidence and apparent "strength", which is not as visible in the "strong silent type" without doing some digging first. This is why many high school girls go for bad boys, but the older they get, fewer and fewer of them see anything in the "bad boy" anymore. Of course, there's always a few that just never learn.

And speaking of Keith Richards, it's his birthday today and I am drinking Jack Daniel's and cranking up Beggars Banquet as we speak!"
