Many discussions have done why boys and girls fall in love each other. But why girls fall in love with bad boys : the researchers this time tried to find out the cause of this fact. This study made by Professor of psychology Adrian Farnham of the University College of London. Recently this study was published in 'Personality and Individual Difference' magazine. He said, Boys with bad qualities also attract many girls.
The study says, men with bad character are usually adventurous. So women feel attraction to them.
The study also says,many girls like non serious, adventurous, peevish and aggressive nature d boys.

I guess bad looking boys and bad boys has this appealing factor that catches woman's attention. And though at times these guys beats up the girl physically, they somehow seem to appeal more to girls. Well, maybe yeah women likes adventures and they feel that these types of guys can be someone who can protect them over other bad guys ^^

Is it because they feel these are 'bad boys' because they have had a rough life, or is it because the girls think they can help the 'bad boys' clean up their act?
Maybe it is just the adventure and excitement. These thoughts are like clay that can be molded into sweet romance!

bhanusb that might explain why so many women marry a batteret bec a use he is aggressive and non serious only to find in tim e they are controlling, beating and bat tering men who want women who are submissive and helpless. beats me as that was not what I w anted in a man I would marry. I luicked out and got a m an who loved me as much as I loved him and was hapy and full of fun and kind, just a
really good man. I did not like bad boys as I was more p ickyl

Now I understood why some boys in schools do not follow what the teacher says and they become idiots.

I'm usually attracted to bad boys. They're right, a lot of it is about adventure. Another part of it is, good boys often cater to your every need. They're not a challenge. They often compliment you every second of the day to the point where it has little meaning. However, when you meet someone who lives life on the edge and can't be tamed...And then they fall in love with you and you get to see a softer side of them, it's sort of a victorious feeling.

Definitely this is true. I am usually attracted with adventurous men. However, I maybe attracted to bad boys but I think I am much more attracted to boys that have a bad aura or bad look but they are yet good. It do soften my heart if I'll meet such kind of personality. I do believe on opposite attracts. I just noticed this, nowadays, sweet and good girls are much more attracted to bad boys. Wew!! that I think it's cool!!

My grandson says the same thing. He is a real good young man but then I'm pregadest. Some of the girls that he has worked with will complain about how bad their boyfriends treat them then they break up and will go out with my grandson a few times then go back to the bad boy. As some one else stated it mus t be why so many women stay with the men that abuse them.

Not me, I love boys who are funny and kind. Bad boys just turn me off, they always have, much to self centered for my taste.

I don't know why most of us women are attracted to bad boys. I guess it is the thrill, excitment that attract me the most, at least it used to, not anymore. Now I'm married, settled down in a normal and beautiful life with a gorgeous family. What more can I ask for, those days of bad boys are over!!!

I like a guy who is a gentleman and also sometimes very humor.A guy who knows me well and who can make me really happy.That's enough and i really hope that i can encounter that guy.But anyway,we live in different cities and i don't know whether i should tell him my feeling about him,maybe it's not possible to make him change his mind to come to my city.

This is actually where trouble starts. Girls like bad boys, but in the long run, it turns sour, and they are already married, and can not separate anymore. I think values should be brought back into society where good boys are the ideal figures, and not the bad boys.

What you have said is absolutely correct. good boys will remain calm and will not try to cheat girls. Bad boys always try to get the advantage of the girl's weakness.
"Use and throw " policy is adopted by the bad boys. The bad boys will use the girls and throw them.
If any body pretends as if he is bold, the girls fall in love with them, the reason behind this is the girls always feel insecture and they think that such bad boys will alwys come to their defence when there is an emergency.

It is not actually bad boys, but dashing and active boys (like tall dark and handsome).lol. I actually blame movies for this, because the so called Hero of movies is always handsome and full of action and girls make this kind of image somewhere in their minds and when it comes to real life, they get confused or mis lead. A decent good boy is quiet and does not cross his limits, so becomes boring..
Well, whatever, in the end all girls realize that good boys are good and bad boys are bad. And when it comes to choose life partner, it is always this wonderful good boy.......

Women/girls are usually attracted to men who have similar attributes as their fathers. If they grow up without a father figure, then they're left to choose from good vs. bad. I would like to think that most females would choose a serious, nerd-type man.

That's such a typical stereotype but it is kinda true though. A friend of mine is a very good girl, she has her own moral values and never does anything bad. She developed for this bad boy on Facebook. He warned her that he may influence her and that he wouldn't be accepted by her friends but she thought that she could change him. After 2 weeks, she broke up with him because it wasn't working and he had eyes for another girl. Pretty much, bad boys tend to turn good girls into bad girls and when I see a couple like that, it's really unappealing. But I do find bad boys attractive but only physically. In terms of personality, I don't want a guy to endanger me and try to show off by doing car stunts and getting the police angry. I do like the guys with the tattoos and the piercings but he has to be a good guy with a sense of humor as well.

My question is, where are all the good boys? I've always wanted one as a boyfriend and never found one.
