What Girls & Guys Said

  • Because it's not the badness that the girls find attractive.

    That's the quality that the so-called "nice" guys focus on, because then they can blame their singledom on the girls stupidity instead of the fault which lies in themselves and which they would have to change.

  • My last 2 long term relationships seemed like lovely, caring guys, but both cheated. I wanted a good guy but the only 2 guys I loved were bad

    • i am sorry for you, American society need to be reformed

    • I live in the UK. Nothing to do with the society, most know the difference between right and wrong. And if a relationship isn't working for them they should break it off not cheat. Cheating is inexcusable and causes a lot of hurt.

    • I'm surprised that Brittish lads are doing shit over there, but maybe you were just unlucky and not that most of them are assholes like that. and I know that cheating is totally inexcusable but people do because they don't care for morality and other people's feelings

  • Not again! another whining man who can't get a girl!

    • That's little sexists don't you think? The same can be said about women who can't or couldn't get Mr. Right.

    • @Uglyman1001 They are whining woman if they bitch about the fact that men are only after bad girls

    • Well the majority of women and probably even you will find me unattractive so I need not worry.

  • Why would you want a woman who is attracted to bad guys anyway?

  • Well, there are two options at play here:

    1. There's a global conspiracy in which all women in the world are trying to convince all men that they like Nice Guys, and then behave in a contradictory manner.

    2. You're wrong.

    Which do you think is more likely?

  • No one likes a sycophant. You'd date a bad girl too if you had the choice :P

    Bad boys are actually honest. And honesty is in short supply.

  • Because the only redeemable quality in a self proclaimed “nice guy” is being nice, and most of the time he’s not.

    • Because they don't want to seem slutty

    • @sc15022 there are other qualities besides nice that aren’t slutty.

    • Girls like bad boys because it's what turns them on. Typically the bad boys are guys who know their way around a clit and that treat them like crap, which women also like. I'm not talking about physical or sexual abuse either

  • Same reason as why guys only drool over the cheap and fake girls.

    • what do you mean by "cheap and fake" girls?

    • @KnightCross what do you think?

    • Most guys don't actually. Statistically guys preffer sweet girls. Though to be fair if a guy thinks he can get easy sex and is not looking for a relationship he will go after a fake girl, not because he is inclined towards her so much as she seems like she will put out easier. Personally Not my cup of tea, I prefer sweet and genuine (and a little nerdy) but then I have never been for casual sex.

  • I’m kinda a bit of both, so I can vouch for either side actually. I just choose to act more “nice guy” because I don’t have the time for a relationship.

    • This. This. And This. "I just choose to act more “nice guy” because I don’t have the time for a relationship." This is a classic example of my answer

    • That a good thing?

    • No haha not really in the context I am referring to. You can read my comment for reference

  • When I say I don't like bad boys, I mean. I don't like "nice guys" either. Normal dudes are good enough for me.

    • well so define to me, what are "normal" dudes?

    • @KnightCross Dudes that act normal.

    • define to me what means "acting normal"

  • We only like bad boys if they're attractive
    People, especially women, don't like to admit they're shallow

    • this should be best comment

    • @ILikeToParty Shallowness is quite literally in our biology. To the point where refusing to admit it is a tool used for the shallow effect of masking yourself to look better.

    • @Onidandal its also why plastic surgery is booming. Basically like real life photoshop to look better

  • I think you're confusing compatibility. Just because a girl doesn't go out with you doesn't mean she likes bad boys and isn't into nice boys.

    I'm so tired of these "Women don't want nice guys" threads. It's simply not true... just because the women is with a guy that someone may like doesn't make the guy a bad boy.

  • Because woman basically doesn't know what they truly want. They tell something and they think the exact opposite. Honesty is lately out of fashion. So I use a trick, I'm a bad nice guy. That is confusing them. :)

  • We don’t all like the same.

    • all men like the same? lol how many guys did you know so far?

    • @KnightCross when did I told about men?

    • oh sorry now i got it, i still need to improve my English hahaaa

  • Because it goes against the "everyone is perfect the way they are" narrative that women have been pushing. The instant a woman admits to liking bad boys, she has to start admitting that there is a such thing as an alpha male, and that not every guy can be an alpha. The idea that someone can be genetically superior to someone else goes against the female self-love movement.

  • I don't believe in this whole analogy of "nice guys finish last". I have had my fair share of meeting girls, talking to girls, being around girls and dating girls. The truth is, yes, many girls who are younger (teens and early 20s) like the bad boy because of 1) the challenge, 2) it's exciting because it feels like a roller coaster ride of emotions, 3) to change him and mold him into a better guy... usually bad boys are not looking for anything serious which either the girl is aware or feels like she can change him.

    However, the girls who buckle down and become women with goals, aspirations, maturity are the ones who look back and say I do not want to be with a guy like that because he is a waste of time and I do not need to have my feelings toyed with. The girls who become women and still like the bad boy is usually a girl who lacks confidence and has no direction of her life of what she wants. How often do guys fall for a girl who's pretty or hot but she's a bitch and some guys take it, and they keep going after the same type of girl... I was one of those nice guys who did that. But I realized I don't want to deal with a girl like that, I want to be with a girl who is nice, has her shit together and I physically and emotionally like as well.

    Sometimes girls/women often portray the "bad boy" with one trait a "nice guy" does not have and that is confidence. Nice guys tend to be overly giving and etc and while it is a head scratcher us guys have to understand that when you're dating a girl or trying to be with her doing that only gets her to push a guy away. If it is a long time girlfriend or wife then, of course, show that loving affection and care but don't show it to a girl you just started talking to it will creep her out.

    Also to be clear my definition of a nice guy is this -- a guy who helps others, honest, hardworking, responsible, has the backbone to stand up for himself and fight if he has to, to be religious and one with God, knows his limits. That's how I view it.

  • Some do, some don't.

    It's not that women don't like nice guys, but they don't like pushovers or self proclaimed nice guys who think they're entitled to shit because they bought them a drink or held the door open.

    Also, going by that logic, that means every guy who's ever had a girlfriend, date, or got laid is a "bad boy/asshole". Absolute bullshit.

  • Some do others don't.

  • So how about that? for women its 50 50 because they actually like both.
    They like bad boys because they show some alpha male traits and they like a nice chivalrous guy to treat them like a queen. they just stuck between the two.

  • I dont deny it
