No. Actually most girls don't begin to differentiate between good and bad boys until they are into their mid 20s. Girls tend to be idealists. They don't see the bad behavior for what it really is. They see a guy who is "troubled". They think all he needs is a little love and he will turn around. Girls always think they can change a tough guy into a teddy bear. They think he just needs someone to care for him and he will realize his mistakes and turn over a new leaf. It isn't until early adulthood that most girls seem to realize that they can't change a guy. Usually they find this out by getting "burned" a few times. Lots of women still have this problem though. They "LOVE" their man, so they just let him get into trouble, cheat on them, hit them.... But they still stay. Because they can see the "sweet guy he Really is inside" or because everyone else just doesn't "Know him they way they do". This is a really tough topic. There are some girls who will stay away from bad boys all together. So this doesn't apply to everyone. But for the most part girls have to go through this "faze" and out grow the bad boy fascination. For some it takes longer than others.

The question should have been, will good boys and the good girls be able to find each other? Why? To help build an even better tomorrow.
We live in a very sensual society with its MTV and movies that glorify sex, violence, and all manner of mundane stereotypes. we've so confused the makeup of how things work - till we ask the most ridiculous questions. For example, "Like at 16 will girls be able to differentiate between good and bad boys?".
At 16 why should she or he care. They (boy/girls) should be trying to figure out what the "hell" they're going to be when they grow up - so they can contribute back to society.
In the near future we could all possibly be a muslim state and democracy thrown out the window. Why? Because we will all be to stupid to run this country, businesses, or anything else.

I don't think so, but even if there were 21 years old its not enough, because you go to what pleases you. If you like bad boys you are going to go that way no matter what. I have always said I could be in a room of guys, all of them sweet, loving, and all around good guys, but the one bad guy in the corner is the one I am after. But it will change when women/girls get older they will realize and come around to love good guys.

It depends on a few things, but primarily their parents. The women (girls in this case) who can differentiate and then actually choose men that are better for them have probably had very healthy, attentive parents. There are other factors, like personality and character....but those usually don't override the impact of parents.

I think no. It depends on the girl, what is the criterion for her of being good and bad? And if girls do , how about the girls you call bad? Do they really be bad coz they want to? And if the girl has NEVER communicates with a bad boy/good boy, she won't know if a boy is good/bad, because she doesn't have any experience.

you can never differentiate. sometimes u meet the greatest guy and then u realize he aint the nicest afta a coupla dates and sometimes u meet the meanest guy and realise afta a few meetings that he's actually a realli nice person. experience teaches you a thing or 2, but time does a lotta work as well coz unless u take time 2 know someone, u cant really know.

OMG...omg...I am laughing so hard...you can't be serious. Reading that, to me, was along the lines of cuteness of my little sister asking me earlier "Brother, when I'm six I'll be a big girl and able to drive like you!". Wow. No, girls at that age are TERRIBLE at picking out good men...and the aren't going to get ANY good at it for another fifteen years. (And even then, its marginal...)

I think it takes some experience to be able to read people, although some teens are more mature, and some adults can be immature in that aspect. But generally, no.
