"bad boys" and "nice guys" are very loose terms and it can mean different things to different people.
But yeah , young, fertile women , and sometimes older women too are drawn to men, who can only be described as somewhat selfish and evil.
I think in psychology they say these men have a cluster B personality type ( I could have misspelled that). These guys are narcissistic, manipulative and often violent.
They are people who will seek power and success and take whatever risks to get there.
You can probably tell that such men are very problematic for civilized, modern society and why people would call them bad boys or worse names.
Women's attraction to such men is very primal. Back when we were very primitive beings, those men were likely to kill enemies, survive and mate with most women. So those traits were favourable. But as society becomes more complex, those traits become more problematic than useful. In modern society you need men who are cooperative, agreeable and can work together to solve problems. Otherwise barely any work could ever get done. True "bad boys" aren't agreeable enough or patient enough to do so and therefore they often end up antisocial or on the outskirts of society, as outlaws and criminals. Occasionally you have some very intelligent master manipulators who will make it to the top in society and those are the only type of "bad boys" who have a place in modern society. Unfortunately they are evil too and cause way more problems than average thugs or criminals.
In any case, women are drawn to such men in a primal way, in the way that men are drawn to breasts and booty. Most of us do realize that those aren't qualities necessary for a partner, but there are some men who only want to bang or be with girls with big breasts and asses. In the same way some women may look at those "bad boys" and realize they can't fit into a decent life and go for other men, but some girls unfortunately go for those men and hope they can have a good time.4 1 1 0and for those that still doubt it, just see how popular 50 shades of grey and 365 days are. 2 absolute trash movies that somehow were rated extremely high because of the large amount of female viewers. And if you look at the male characters, both of them fit cluster B personality type.
50 shades is popular because its the first movie that is main stream and very sexual and aimed for woman. You call it disgusting but have you not seen porn? a lot of porn can be very disgusting. All 50 shades proofs is woman have a sexuilty and they love dominant pwerful men.
@Bellaco Ran face first into the point and still missed it.
The women who say no actually do have a thing for bad boys, they just do some mental gymnastics to make all those men's bad traits into good traits. Being a bully, becomes "being a leader". Being arrogant is "confident". Being selfish is "knowing what you want." And so on. All women prefer amoral men with low self control. Some of the older ones get better at dealing with those men's bull-shit, but any woman who isn't in a relationship with one of these men eventually considers her partner boring and becomes bitter towards him.

I haven't been. I never got what was so attractive about them, myself, and if any guy I thought I liked at first started acting like an asshole or a "bad boy", I'd immediately lose interest. Any criminal or thuglike behavior has always scared me, and acting like a dick just makes me lose all respect.
Believe it or not, I've actually had two interested in me, though. I searched them in my local online court record system out of curiosity and found some really messed up stuff, including sexual assault and stalking. They already acted super weird and shady, but that made me go from "Nope" to "No way in hell!"
However, I know it seems to be very appealing to certain girls, especially young and naive ones.
The scary thing is that I had a friend with a fantasy about one of those types of guys kidnapping her and then "falling in love" with her and deciding to start a new life together, with him putting aside his bad boy act for her. That is nothing but a fantasy, and a very dangerous one at that. I always feared for her safety when she'd chase after guys like that, but luckily she finally cut it out and found a good guy.2 1 0 0I think i want to marry you 🙈
Lol, thanks!
If they have daddy issues yes. I think most of girls do. But some others had a very great relationship with their dad so that reduces their chances to be atteacted to bad boys. There are also girls that never get over that phase, they could even end up in violent relationships, being promiscuous, amd never getting to be taken seriously. Because they never learned how to have a vincule with men, so they exploit they sexuality to at least have sexual attention. Very sad, but I even saw a very deppressed girl in a bar, she was like 35 years, she was a little fat and using very small clothes and allowing men touching her, really disgusting men. At a moment in the night, I looked at her and she tried to smile but I could feel she was depressed. Girls with serious daddy issues have to work on them to get over that phase, otherwise, they could end up lost in life, with low self steem and never realizing that real relationships are not based on sex. Girls with daddy issues domt know this. When you grow, you start to think what is best for you or not. You could start working on you to attract better men, or not...
1 1 0 0I don’t have a good relationship with my dad and he left us when I was 11. I have barely had contact with him since then. I’m a sensible girl and I am most certainly not drawn towards bad boys. It’s about how clever the girl is. Some girls are just stupid and others are self-destructive. I would only understand someone going for bad boys if they were under 21 because I’d think they were just naive kids but anything older than that I would think they are just stupid.
@goodgirl82 Well said
@sarahr123 You are not drawn to Bad Boys, because you decide against them on a conscious level, although you consider them to be sexually attractive (on a purely sexually level), or do you just don’t have any sexual attraction to them? Which type of guy would you prefer if it was only about a one night stand? The good guy or the bad boy? “I would only understand someone going for bad boys if they were under 21 [...]“ Has this been the case with you and did it change at the age of 21?

108 24Not all of us. Even when I was younger, the bad boy types didn't appeal to me because I didn't want to be around a guy that would get me in trouble or wasn't into me. If seemed... stupid really.
Call me weird, but I always had a thing for the quiet, nerdy guys that are nice to me~7 7 0 0@cynicaldreamer Is there nothing about bad behavior that seems somehow attractive (in a purely sexual way)?
@Tonytoutouni123 Not really. Again, that's just me. I can't speak for all women. Bad behavior to me just comes off as unattractive, or he's going to be trouble to deal with or date
@cynicaldreamer Thanks for your opinion!
Define "bad boy" 🤔
And how I pick a partner:
I usually go for personality and how they treat me/others.
And it does not matter what they did prior to meeting me, we live now.0 1 0 0@littleturtleduck Someone who, through his behavior, harms others. This can be someone who takes exploitation of the help/goodness of others in everyday life, up to someone who deals hard drugs, beats others up for no reason or even kills them.
Oh no, I resent those people. I stay away as far as possible from them
@littleturtleduck Is there nothing about bad behavior that seems somehow attractive (in a purely sexual way)?
Okay so.. I was. Honestly i am just 18 and i have met somany assholees that are fuck boys or just pretend to be one.. That now i just want a genuine nice guy who won't play mind games with me and won't hurt me.. And i have no intention to change the fuckboy into an angel.. So just be nice. Once girls have gotten their hearts broken they need nice guys.. But others who are sensible fall for nice guys only! All the best ❤️
1 2 0 0Ok I understand. Can you tell me what you found attractive about them? Was it that they often seem arrogant and aggressive? All the best for you too ❤️
@bhaavyaaa
I don't know specifically but i think the dominant part. And because you had to work hard to make them care about you (which they dont actually) and the mind games. Its just the constant thrill and newness you feel about them... But honestly the fact that nothing is stable and there is no commitment drives you away after a whilee... But some girls don't want commitment that is a different case
Oh my God, no! I put “A” because I thought you meant a “bad boy” who like rode a motorcycle, or smoked cigarettes, or something. The kind of guy who likes AC/DC, and actually takes you to one of their concerts, and makes you WANT to have sex at the concert. Even though you did it in a way that nobody would possibly have known what you were doing, and although you are extremely private in the RW, the idea that people can actually see you getting truly fucked by a REAL man... gives you the most powerful orgasm of your life! But THEN I read what YOU consider a “Bad Boy” is nothing more than a violent psychopath, and I was desperately trying to change my vote to “B”.
1 1 0 0@crazygirl2 Ok I understand. Thanks for your opinion! i am glad you have enlightened me.
I was at one point. Yes, they're still attractive to me, but I wouldn't necessarily date one just for those qualities alone.
I find that most "bad boys" have a lot of self-confidence, security, and courage. These qualities are very attractive indeed (by nature), but there are more valuable qualities, in my opinion, that make a good life partner.
On a more emotional level, I've felt in the past that "bad boys" tend to have a more realistic view of life, are not very judgmental, and understand how to handle hardship. For someone like me, those qualities are really appealing... but all people are different. People are so complex. Trying to understand a person and learning about them, is my favorite thing in the world...❤0 1 0 0@ponycargirl98 “I find that most "bad boys" have a lot of self-confidence, security, and courage.

I won’t change my personality anyway 😄
@ponycargirl98 Still curious about your opinion 🙂
