It started sometime in the 70's but it was just in it's infant stage back then. The phenomenom then fully blossomed in the 80's and it's at about the same stage now probaby a little worse now actually due to the further degradation of the family unit, e.g., less and less young women without a proper father figure. It's a very disturbing development with the end result only being more unhappy women.

This is something I see today with the pop-culture images, like the ghetto, gu*do, preppy, and yuppie subcultures. Most of the so-called "bad-boys" of yesteryear (most of whom were probably not that bad) were genuinely confident with themselves and did what they wanted without worrying about what anyone said (i.e. look at how quite a few rockstars died prematurely). A lot of these "bad-boys" of today are very self-conscious about what others think of them, and hence conform into the image that the majority of their local crowd admires and desires.
Yes, like the bad boys on twitter. Bad boys tweeting and checking, how many followers, must stay relevant. Ooooh, someone hacked my Facebook. I'll sue! How macho is that - *tweeting and twittering*. LOL.

With the exception of "twist," as in the use of tools, bad boys just don't do anything that starts with "tw-." Sounds too much like lisping.

so today i was walkin around town drinking a fifth of vodka like any bad boy would be doing on a thursday afternoon. bad boys come with the ability to drink unlimited alchohol, but occasionally we have a moment of weakness. there is one of those moments in this story. i felt the urge to vomit. i looked sharply to my left and saw a bathroom, then to my right, where stood a woman and her baby. i ran over to my right and vomited all over the woman and baby, gave her the finger and laughed. she didnt say a word, she just proceeded to make out with me afterwards. we went back to my place and she invited all her hot female friends over for some really wild sex. just another afternoon in the life of a bad boy

now if you all will excuse me i have to get back to doing a bad boys 2nd favorite activity - drinking beer and watching cartoons.

Good man yep that's pretty much how you do it. Now if you would have offered to help the woman w/ the baby across the street you would have been branded one of the "creepy" guys that tried to approach her during the day.

Maybe so, but at least the middle-aged balding accountant is out having a good time. Muscle Cars and guitars are a hell of a lot of fun too.

I don't know about women who are attracted to criminals and abusers, but a guy who is having a good time living his life has got to be more attractive than one who is sitting home alone and depressed.
