What do women like about the "bad boy"?

Post Reply New Topic

First, what qualities make a "bad boy"?

Second, what is it about bad boys that you like?

SOME bad boy qualities are:

Breaking the rules(school,law,etc.)

Rebellious(towards parents and other authority figures)

Cursing like a sailor

Doesn't take s**t from ANYBODY



Now there are several types of "bad boy".There's the James Bond type and the delinquent type.I named the delinquent type.

I think that some women have a thing for (deliniquent)bad boys,because they are young and wild and they want to be rebellious,as well.

If it's the James Bond type,I think the women wants a man that will protect them.

Women like the risk, the challenge, the feeling that they can 'tame' the beast.

Yes and bad boys tend to also be really good in the sack.

I like the idea that a "bad boy" actually has a distinct character. The only way to avoid being a "rulebreaker" is to become so bland that one demonstrates the second law of thermodynamics, that everything winds down.

Yes, jman, but what are bad boys to you?

The "delinquent" type and the "protector" type SpaceCase described have something in common: a radiation of innate, powerful energy. These people are "in power", as opposed to someone who follows what some might call a slave mentality.

However, just because someone is in power doesn't mean they have to be bad. Also, being in power doesn't mean you have to "stick it" to everyone who opposes you.

How do you feel about this?

And just because someone doesn't believe in the rules does not make him evil.

I avoided "bad boys" who where cruel and stupid,which many can be.I did like guys who where "individualist".The qualities I liked were the humor,ability to "think outside the box",think of interesting and exciting(non-destructive)things to do...like exploring abandoned buildings or near by caves.Many "good boys" are logically apposed to risk taking,as I am myself.Some "bad boys" can give a person permission to take chances to experience something outside the norm.As a small female who never was a fighter,ther is also a "protective" element.Punks were often targetted for harassment and I did like the feeling that a "bad boy" could help protect me when we were on the streets.I hate the ones who like to start fights,just to prove themselves.....that isnt "bad" that is "bully".I also dont like the ones who are "players".Some gus who look like "bad boys" have far more heart then they get credit for....the "image" is one of protection,so they dont have to fight.

I am a dude, a Jason Bourne type so I do not get girls but create mutual relationships with them.

My two cents:
Breaks Rules
Creates own Rules
Violent
Has to be sexually compatible {I'm not!}
Can kick someone's ass so bad

Krex, that is outstanding what you just said. As for Jman...bad boys tend to be very self absorbed....so good in the sack????? I'd wonder that. My sisters dated bad boys who were bullies and abusive, but I think what women want is a man who has confidence, who takes a stand, and who they could feel safe with..if thats a bad boy....well then guys listen up...confident, self assured, dosn't equal a jerk, but yeah, I guess there is a challenge to some women who feel they can tame the beast, thats nuts.

Also, "bad boys" act like snobs and believe that they are superior to everyone else. They do act like jerks and b***h everyone else out. It is part of their ego.

I don't understand the fascination with 'bad boys'. It's quite pathetic, really.

I like people who are not idiots but won't care if they don't like something or someone. I have a friend like this. He's in his mid-fifties and he's hyperactive beyond belief and drinks heavily but would do anything for anybody. That's the sort of person I like - won't take any rubbish from anybody but looks after people, if you know what I mean. I learnt a lot from him.

I don't go for bad guys. I go for decent Gentlemem. They're much more civilized than bad guys. Than again, I'm stuck in the 50s and 60s.

It all boils down to confidence. The alpha male believes he is superior to everyone else, and that's what most women go for.

I would like to meet the women who don't want cavemen. Maybe it's a stage they go through and by the time they realize their mistake they are married and have a bunch of cavekids.
