I'm really concerned about this. Why does it seem like that girls and women take one good look at a delinquent-looking, nasty-behaving guy and they end up falling head over heels for him? I find this totally ridiculous. Why can't girls go after normal/nice-looking, well-behaved guys? Also, should girls realize that "bad boys" will treat them badly when they're in a relationship?

If this is how people believe that's how the world works, then I believe this is outrageously messed up.

Ahh ... another "Nice Guys? can't get dates" thread!

Here we go again!

^^^^
And of course no ones gonna mention "assertive guys"(probably due to extreme-thinking) which is in between nice-guys and loud punk-azz guys.

What about guys who are "tsundere"? (Sorry, I got this term from watching anime)

I think, sometimes, women like a "challenge."

It doesn't pay to be a schmuck--but it doesn't pay to be a sniveling feel-sorry-for-yourself guy, either.

You need to understand that women are individuals, they all have different ideas of who their perfect romantic partner is. Just because you see some women going after 'bad boys' it doesn't mean you can generalise that behaviour out and make conclusions about female sexual preference in general. I also have a sneaking suspicion that the women you've noticed doing this aren't exactly moral pillars of society either.

Also, being nice is just the basic level of decency expected in any human social interaction. To be attractive you need to be funny, interesting, have good personal hygiene - being good looking or well-dressed probably doesn't hurt either. You can't expect people to fall head over heels for you just because you were polite.

He's gonna kick your butt, and then get his butt kicked when he goes to jail

Life has a way of mellowing people out once they get out of high school.

It's because the nice guy in most cases only has one real quality going on about him, being nice.

I'm sorry that I asked that stupid question. I don't really mean to offend anyone.

You know why some women go for the bad boys? It's not because they're bad... it's because the bad boys aren't afraid to go after what/who they want and don't give a rats ass what people think of them. Plenty of good guys have these qualities too.

Bad Boys? are also more interesting -- they do things that Nice Guys? would not dare to even think about. Things like start bands, play sports, rebel against authority, assert themselves, and attract attention for the sake of attracting attention.

Nice Guys? are just ... well ... nice, and that's all.

Oh Mate.....the short answer is:

He goes into a relationship thinking: I hope she doesn't change.
She goes into a relationship thinking: I hope he does!

Women don't do that. Some might, but they are jerks.With women it's more about people skills and not portraying desperation, which the jerks excel at. But not only the jerks excel at at. Lots of good guys are in the same boat.
