What is it with women and bad boys? You know the type: cocky, arrogant, womanizing, and yet women fall from the constantly.

I would think that you could see them coming from a mile away and not fall prey to there charms, but, apparently I'm wrong. Those rugged good looks must cancel out the signals that clearly state, "I hear for a good time only, proceed at your own risk".

So what is it? Is it worth the risk? The pain and suffering you later experience, when, as the label implies, the "bad" side of the bad boy emerges.

I think that some women confuse that cocky, arrogant attitude with confidence and that is what they find attractive. However, those very things that they mistake as attractive end up being the very reasons why the relationship doesn't work out.

Personally, when I was younger and single, bad boys were interesting I won't deny that. But it was to go out and have a good time, help tap into your own wild side a bit (I am not talking sexually here, just in general). However, they were not relationship material. Just friendship type of stuff. As I got older, it wasn't even that anymore. I just finding nothing really appealing about the "bad boy" type. I much prefer the stable, family type that offers stability versus the rollercoaster ride.

Unfortunately, and I don't get it either, a lot of women, and especially the younger girls, seem to really go for these bad boy types. I've seen it with my son. He wasn't a bad boy type, but wound up getting hurt a lot of times because it was like girls had no clue what to do when a guy actually treated them right and with respect. Common lines upon break-up for him were "you are too nice" or "your so sweet you deserve someone better than me" or "you're too good for your own good". I mean, hello, what is in these girls brains. My son is now 19 and he is back to being himself, but he did go through a little period there where it was what the heck and he was playing up that part of "bad boy". He figured thats what the girls wanted, fortunately, he couldn't play the part all that well, still wound up getting hurt because in the end, once the relationship would start, he couldn't help but be himself.

Personally, I think girls/women that tend to go for these bad boy types are only setting themselves up for a failed relationship a lot of times, rare are the ones that work out in my opinion. Therefore, I see it as a self-destructive path to be on. Why anyone would want to be on it is beyond me.

...because just like some guys want to hump a hot woman just for the fun of it, sometimes gals just want to bang a bad boy just for the he11 of it. Nothin' wrong with that--girls just wanna have fun, too.

I for one have never been the type that is interested in the bad boy
(well except for that XXX guy but he was fioneeeeeee and that was on the big screen ). I'm not attracted to cocky, arrogance and damn sure not attracted to womanizers.

So I couldn't tell ya what the fascination is I guess

THIS topic is the most popular and brought up topic always.


mari4him,first you admit why you were attracted to "badboys" but then wonder what girls are thinking when it involves your son.No confusion there.

I hate to admit it but I am addicted to bad boys! You'd think at 33 years old, I would be over it. I really love the chase, the thrill and the excitement. Sometimes, I think that I'd love to settle down and find the "right" guy but bad boys always lead me astray. Mari4him is right though - it never works out and I always end up heartbroken (at least until the next one comes along!)

moral of the story guys..........no matter how much you want the security of having a woman commited to you or no matter how hot or good her ***** is or how much her DD"s turn you on control yourself and think about yourself and do not put up with her BS sacrificing your honor as a man.


Don't worry about keeping a leash on her,you'll only doom yourself,get into a situation where she is whipped on you mentally and sexually and be willing to tell her go away when she tests you.Act like a puppy dog and you'll be run over by her till she gets to the point she has no respect for you and tosses you away........


Not easliy done but that's it the way I see it.

What about the women that want to try to build a relationship with a bad boy?

So you have the bad boy that likes hanging out, doing adventurous stuff, is cocky, handsome and women adore him, and now you want him home folding cloths, going to grocery store and having a block buster night. When that does not work, because after all he is a "bad boy" the women complain about how the guy was no good.

hmmm...

I've seen it before. Not in all cases, but in some. And in the truly sad cases the woman just goes out and finds another bad boy.

My point exactly!

What is wrong with a regular guy that would treat you properly?
