why do women go for "bad boys"?

They are always cool,handsome and fashionable.They know how to please the girl,in a unexpected and romantic way.They don't worry about the money they spend.And so the girls are easily attracted through some carefully designed scenes and plots by bad boys,especially some girls who like challenges. We could study the "bad" way to make girl happy,but we couldnot take the attitude of just playing.

I think because bad boys are challenging. Girls are challenged with the bad boys that they want to change the bad attitude the bad boys has. Sometimes, they love to know if they can change him from a bad guy to a good guy.

Well, I've dated some bad boys and I think I would guess the reason would be the "I Can Change Him" or they somehow think they'll be treated differently. That's defiantly the draw to some woman, but other times it can also be lust, excitement and adventure. In some instances, some woman unknowingly look for the relationships that cause drama in their life. I think men who are tough on the outside, but soft on the inside (what women think most 'bad boys' are) has a unique charm that women find interesting. They can get the best of both worlds with someone who can protect them when they're in danger and comfort them when they're sad. Secretly, a woman wants someone like that, especially if they're planning long term commitment.

Well, do to my shakily incomplete knowledge on women, I could only offer my theories. However, I have seen enough(rather directly or indirectly), that I know enough to have a pretty good hunch. It is for the excitement factor. Men are considered to be immature a lot of the time, but sometimes, it does take women a lot to mature and learn some harsh lessons in life. When hooking up with these bad boys, its for a sense of danger and excitement. To make their lives more meaningful to say the least. There are those guys out there, that someone with common sense should not get with, but there is some aura of mystery and danger that really makes them intriguing to say the very least. Of course, lessons would be learned in the end, as what is intriguing, might not be all that healthy in the end.

oftentimes girls tend to think that they can change this bad boy someday. Sorry to burst your bubble but that will never ever happen unless the guy himself would want to make that change. As the saying goes: change must begin from within. No matter how much you put on pressure on a person to change, he or she won't unless he or she wanted to. Boys will be boys, girls so don't say I didn't warn you!

We should not forget that Women has motherhood, sympathy ,all those good things,because of that they think they can repair bad boys.

Let's see how we can categorize "bad boys". They are generally is a guy who: *call at 8:30 on a Saturday night to ask if you want to get together *does not show up for a date- followed by no phone call or apology *never has any money when you are out with him. *forgets or ignores your birthday and other important dates *flirts openly with other women when you are together *hits out at your good friend(s) *is doing time for a serious felony Was that a good list? suryachalla

Oh, definitely the mystique. Bad boys are mysterious, they are rebels, and are everything your mother and father told you not to go for. Problem with the bad boy is that they are abusive, they leave you for other women, they don't care who gets hurt, and they cause a lot of damage. They call them "bad boys" for a reason, and that is because they are literally "bad boys". You are disposable to them. They don't care if your hurt. They have no real feelings for you. If you die, they won't mourn for you. They don't care. You are nothing to them. They use you, abuse you, manipulate you, and then they beat you down so hard until you don't even know who you are anymore. You become the person that you hate. That is what they "bad boy" does to you. How do I know all of this? I have seen it.

just at the right time, i found a topic similar to what my friends and i are discussing about.. =) we have actually come to a conclusion as to why girls usually like "bad boys"... there could be a lot of reasons like, they feel the adventure is fun, they feel bad boys themselves are fun... they feel they can do anything when they are with a bad boy... sometimes girls do feel too being with a bad boy makes them feel like they are matured enough to handle situations being with a bad boy... but most importantly... my friends and i have concluded that... most of the time... these girls always have a feeling within themselves that they can actually change this person - that if she is successful in turning him from ans *ss to a good caring, and loving person then she is really the instrument that this "bad boy" person has changed. more often than not, there is this feeling within us ladies, that we all want to change the people around us (with the intention for the greater good, of course) and so we tend to look for the kind of guys that there are a lot of "work" to do...

It's not good to generalize that way The concept of being good or bad is different depending on each person, but for example I have never gone out with someone that was bad in my eyes. It depends on each person's tastes

Yes, it is true, that women like bad boys because they feel that they are safe with them knowing the fact that bad man himself can hit them. A bad boy man has a strong charm with women because they feel that they are the leading lady of whom like an action star. I don't understand either that women like bad boys. they don't like those man who are really romantic, and kind. Can anyone explain it to me too?

I think girls find bad boys: -A thrill to be with -Someone they think they could change -Man enough to protect them

in my case, i want guys that are kind of bad boys too because, i want to prove myself if i can handle one. and i think others go for it because they want to prove themselves that they can however make that guy change for good because of them,,, ^^

I think girls go for them at times because it is something that is somewhat rebelious. A lot of them really aren't bad boys though and the relationships just turn into arguments. I guess when girls are younger they are told by their parents to go for the good guy so they obviously go against their parents. But who knows really. I just go for what I like which really isn't a certain type.
