Well, because the term "Bad Boy" is a term bandied about by men whose testicles have shrunken to the size of English peas.

Basically, they sit at home and paint their Dungeons and Dragons figurines and are afraid of life, and resent those men who don't treat life as if it had a giant biohazard sticker attached to it. Then they blame women for liking them.

The bad boy label has become a convenient excuse for guys who aren't having success with women. Instead of looking at themselves, they can blame women for going after the bad boy.

bad boy label is based on their overall personality and values mostly so you're right you can't really label someone a bad boy just because they ride a motorcycle or something. Then there are the wanna-be bad boys that are actually not bad boys but they put on the bad boy mask because they know it will attract some women. JBT is correct generally sane women are not attracted to the bad boys it's usually women with issues or women that have a skewed view of what a real man is. Which is why I tell my fellow men to not worry about the women that chase bad boys trust me you don't want these women anyway.

Be that as it may, the term does describe a social phenomenon, and that phenomenon exists whether you use the term or not. Y'all sound rather upset about it all, to be honest.

What they really mean by "bad boy" is a good looking and confident jerk who will usually dump them. They do often leave quite a trail. One good man can make 1 woman happy. A cad can embitter 20. So there is that...

Not at all. I just get tired of the same whiny "Why do women like bad boys but don't like meeeeeeeee?" threads by guys. They're just freaking pathetic.

Thank you. For all this whining about how women go after bad boys instead of nice guys, what gets lost in the discussion is that these women are probably not worth your time anyway. If a woman chooses to be with a man who walks all over, treats her like dirt, and can't be relied upon, what does that say about her? It says she has issues and you're a lot better off without her.

We're not upset. We just get tired of hearing people whine about the dating world instead of trying to deal with it. I could whine about the job market and how it seems to penalize me for this or that. Or I could just make the most of what I have to work with.

Or it might mean she gets a payoff that is worth all the trouble. Kind of like men who pick those trainwreck women. You don't stick around without some kind of payoff.

The men who pick trainwreck women often have issues of their own. Maybe they need to feel like a savior in order to feel good about themselves. Maybe they think someone who's more together won't need them and could potentially leave them for someone else. Trainwreck women are a magnet for these men.
