For the guys that say why girls date criminals or "bad boys" have you ever considered that maybe those women(or women in general for that matter) might find it insulting that you would call the people they choose as their boyfriends "bad" or "criminals"?


I’ve known women who called their boyfriends “bad boys” and boasted about them being more fun than “nice guys”. If they have no problem using it, why is it such a horrible thing if I use it?


Because a girlfriend calling their boyfriend a "bad boy" has a different connotation than some random guy calling them a "bad boy".

Many times when a girlfriend calls a guy a "bad boy" they don't mean they are abusive or criminals or what not, they usually are referring to him being confident, taking charge in life, and not afraid to take risks. Sort of like Michael Jackson song: "Bad". When people sing that song about themselves they are referring to their self-confidence and talent.


Yet it’s somehow ok to compare me to Elliot Rodger and say I am too “messed up” to have a relationship. I am sick of being compared to him and being told I should give up. I am not going to stop saying “bad boy”. Others can hate me for it but I am not going to stop just because they don’t like it.


Do you think you're like Elliot Rodger? I'm sure you don't so who cares what another person says what you are like. I have been called stupid, ret*d(cause I was in special Ed), gay(for not sagging my pants...the irony :lol: ), one girl said I look like a rapist(umm...what?). All of those things didn't matter to me cause I knew I wasn't any one of those things or look like any of those things.

Also, why keep using "bad boy" if it doesn't help you in accomplishing what you want and causes others to dislike you(especially women)? Seems counterintuitive to me.

No, I don’t think I am like him. However, it doesn’t stop others from comparing me to him. No matter what I say or do, they still keep insisting I am like him. I know who I am but others are constantly telling me “Nuh uh! You are a serial killer in waiting!” and other judgmental statements.

There are more men than women who get up in arms over me using the term. I am not going to stop just because they can’t handle it. They can continue to attack me but I can’t speak my mind? Oddly, they claim to hate my posts but still follow them as well as bring up my name. :roll:

Unfortunately, they’re the only threads that get replies in L&D.

In the case of my own threads (whether I bring up “bad boys” or not), it’s usually by those who claim to hate my posts as well as myself but they do it anyway. :roll:

I wish I could post something different and prove my detractors wrong but things just don’t ever go my way. I thought I was going to get a different kind of treatment for my depression but the mental health clinic did a 180 on me.

[question=rhetorical]

Well, since any "Girls and Women Have It Better" threads eventually get locked, why not the "Bad Boys Have It Better" threads too? Just sayin'...

This has nothing to do with Elliot Rodger.

Elliott Rodger was a murderer who thought that girls and women must approach HIM, rather than he showing any interest in girls or women.

Yes, there are women who like "bad boys." No doubt about that.

But why waste your time with one of those women? If you do waste your time with them, you're in for a mess of trouble.

I only brought him up because I am apparently the scum of the Earth for saying “bad boys” yet it’s ok for others to compare me to him.

Some of my detractors claim they were like me when it came to getting a relationship yet they show hostility towards me. They are behaving like the bullies they supposedly hate.

Hey, what a surprise, hypocrisy from the rest of society towards Aspies. I totally get where you're coming from with this, dude, but it's not exactly breaking news. You're mostly just banging your head against the wall here. They won't change any time before you do so you just have to play along with their inane, self-serving rhetoric and then just ignore it altogether. Yeah, it's not much of a permanent fix but there is none to speak of so this is the best you can do right now.

I will say that I definitely empathize with your feelings... a (once) important relationship was complicated and ultimately decimated by one such sociopathic creep who used and abused women and got away with it constantly for a still as-yet unknown reason. Despite her claiming that she liked me way better because we had an actual emotional connection and that our relationship felt "real", she still couldn't stay away from this prick while she was with me, leading to many unpleasant complications. For me, not them. Turns out neither of them gave a crap about what it was doing to me and now they're both permanently out of my life.
