I think it was pretty well-explained in one of the Ender series books (I think it was Speaker for the Dead, but it might have been in the "Shadow" series) - genetically, both men and women have two drives for mating, so that their children will carry their genes forward (more basic urges noted first):
- Men - "propagate" - be the barbaric, changeable, fresh, strong, etc. - "bad boys" image - spread their seed as much as possible.
- Women - "nurture" - stay and help the children grow up - so they look for men who will provide for them and their children
- Women - "find the strongest genes" - women do also look for men who have the best qualities - strongest, most aggressive, most assertive - "bad boy" image
- Men - "nurture" - this has been denoted "civilized" behaviour - stay and provide for a family. This happens as women become more picky - they will be attracted to the "barbaric" type, but would not have children by men who will not provide for them.
I think the first and last comments is the basis for existence of "bad boys" and "decent good guys"; the second and third comments are the reason for the behaviour you are asking for - women _are_ attracted to "barbaric" men, but will settle down with "providers".

Its the excitement and the thrill of the chase.
I too had a bad boy attraction up until I finally grew up.
Eventually we girls get tired of the trouble and realise there can be no stable family life with a man that is constantly in trouble.
Unfortunately we all have to learn the hard way.
For instance, I had to pretty much support the last one. I found out he had a drug problem. Then I caught him in the sack with another girl. If all that wasn't bad enough I ended up with some sort of STD. Thank GOD it was curable!
So, do your self a favor and stay a good guy!
Eventually a well deserving mature woman will appreciate you the way I appreciate my husband!

It's the excitement and the challenge. A "bad boy" is exciting, challenging, cool etc. A "good boy" is just the opposite - calm, sometimes reserved, no challenge, etc. Not that this is a bad thing, but when women are figuring out what they want, they go through a lot of bad boys.

Well sorry buddy, but you are outdated and a couple decades behind there. Go down to Los Angeles, especially Hollywood, and you will see a sh*tload of Asian and Asian-American guys with girls of every race. Most of these Asian rocker dudes pull more poon that isn't Asian than they do the Asian girl!

This isn't true for all, I'm a girl and I'm completley turned off by the "bad boy" image. I'm all for good guys.

i beg to differ.. i'm more of a good guy person.. seeing "bad boys" is so disappointing.. and at the same time.. hanging out with them is somehow pointless.. but.. this is just my opinion.. and i'm sure some girls think differently..
