OP, are you attracted to bad girls? Either you are, so you probably know the answer to your own question, or you are not, so you must realize that there are women out there, the female equivalent of you, who are not attracted to bad boys.

Because girls accept the love they think they deserve?
Maybe they have low self esteem? Maybe they're immature? Maybe they think they can change a guy?
I think bad boys are just an obstacle. Behind every good woman, is the idiot who made her strong.
OP, have you ever considered there is something worthy to strive for in between "nice guys" and "bad boys?" There's a whole middle ground full of balance, maturity, and confidence. Some refer to this area as "manhood."
For the same reason boys are attracted to high maintenance, *itchy girls. You know boys have a thing for them, right? Don't deny it. Let us know why nice girls finish last.
Okay, I am being a bit sarcastic. But seriously though, not everyone is attracted to the same things. Plus, kieger hit the nail on the head with the nice guy/nice girl post. It's not gender specific. You only think it is because you aren't seeing things from a "nice girl's" perspective. I've been in relationships (most recently with a man I dated for a few months) where I did do all the "investing" in things: made sure we had time together, gave him massages, cleaned his house, detailed his truck, sent him some nice birthday and valentine's gifts. I was like some dumb, devoted puppy dog when it came to him. It's not like he didn't do anything, he took me out to dinner a lot and cooked breakfast for me when I spent the night. But in retrospect, I did a whole lot more--the relationship was uneven. And no, he wasn't a "bad boy" he just wasn't really all that interested in me the way I was with him. I think the article is a good explanation why the more I gave, the more I got into him (but the reserve didn't happen).
EDIT: and the irony about the man I dated? He complains all the time about women liking the bad boy type, but the type of woman he falls for is the type of woman who treats him badly, cheats on him, yells at him, makes demands of him and uses him etc. He falls for the "bad girl" type over and over.
By the way, I've never once dated a "bad boy" in my life. I tend to like men who are a little like me, kind of quite and nerdy or geeky.

I think, women find them assertive, confident and mysterious.
I think those women probably need their heads examined. The bad boys always die violently and at young ages.
