I think the bad boy thing is overblown..

Yeah some young women like em most sane women dont or at least dont go looking for them its just that if a "bad boy"[hate the corny term] is good looking most women will put up with whatever he does its not that they necassarily deisre those traits in a Man but will put up with ti if hes good looking enough..

IDK...I would say that the real problem is that judging by the popularity of rap music among young women, far too many of them do like bad boys.. (remember, Im talking about women in their prime)...and it takes young women so long to mature to the point of considering something other than a badboy...

I actually think it is a misnomer that girls mature faster than men...judging solely by their decision making skills, not their social skills, I would say that young men make much more mature, rational decisions in figuring out which women are worthwhile for relationships and which ones arent, long before women find out which men are viable candidates for healthy longterm relationships and which one's arent...

btw, I think the phrase "bad boy" is over the top corny as well...it sounds like a term that some dweeb came up with to describe everyone except himself..

Hi solytaire,

They always try that cultural crap. It seems to be universal across cultures. Remember how the desire for blond women was because of that Anglo-Saxon domination? No one bothered to notice that blond men are often the corporate weasel, jerk rich kid, or villain in Holly Wood.
Women have more subcutaneous fat then men. That on average lightens the skin. Its just another female characteristic. Naturally when races are taken into consideration, it will tend to skew it.

Exactly...I actually think that in regards to social perception, in American society, blond, blue eye attributes are tethered to deception in men (evil veiled in rectitude and virtuosity), and purity in women...I surmise that this is why those stereotypes exist in Hollywood...(blue eyed devil, any female villain is always a brunette or has black hair etc.)..the distressed damsel/female sex symbol is almost always blonde/blue eyed... what say you gwynedd?
