women, why always the bad lads?

Question

what is it about the "bad lads" that is so appealing? there are so many confused younger guys on these sites asking why they always get over-looked? i`m` 23 and have learned that things change as we get older nd wiser, but what is it?

Answer 1

Cause bad boys are hot. Drips are usually cold drips

Answer 2

Genes. The 'bad lads' are perceived by young females as alpha-males - they are virile and often physically superior specimens who put personal survival and sexual profligacy (ie handing on their genes) before other considerations. Therefore, biologically speaking, they might conceivably father stronger children who have a better chance at survival. Women may not realise this, but it is probably what they are responding to. However, they don't make good long term mates, so women usually get to a stage where they go off bad lads and start looking for nice ones to take on the task of nest-building and co-parenting.

Answer 3

I used to go for bad lads when i was younger but thankfully i`ve found a really nice guy now that im older.I think once you have learned a few lessons and wised up you start to steer clear. I wont go after anymore "bad lads" coz i`m sticking with my "nice guy". They don`t always come last x x (there is absolutely no pun intended there) x x

Answer 4

The 'bad boys' are often fairly confident and tend to be go-getters so they get attention...by the time a girl realizes he's not a great guy, she's often already emotionally attached in some way...hopes he'll change or thinks she can "fix" him.

The good guys need to be a little more aggressive and confident...not so passive. Plenty of women adore nice guys, but they often wont' wait around when other guys are clamoring for their attention.

Answer 5

Part of it, in my opinion, goes back to when we were little girls and our parents told us "that's the kind of boy to stay away from", so naturally we were drawn to it. I mean, if someone told you not to think about the color red, what's the first thing you think of: fire engine, an apple.
I do agree that it is girls who want bad boys, not women. A woman wants someone who is going to do good and be dependable. These are not the stereotypical qualities of a bad boy.
I have no desire for the leather-clad, authority-bashing, rebel-rouser. Some women, might. It all depends on the girl.

Answer 6

I have no idea. My best friend keeps saying that I am only attract it to the bad boy image. I have looked at all my past relationships and you know he is right. I do not know. Maybe it is like the way a guy is attract to a out going women. They like the thrill of the excitment or the danger.

Answer 7

I agree, excitement. When I was a teenager and in my early 20's, I liked the bad boys. But now I am married to a guy who looks like a "bad boy", but is actually the best husband in the world. Wonderful combination!!

Answer 8

Bad boys are a problem for me. At first they seem so nice, but usually in 3 month the true colors come out and by then i already care about them. I think that the big misconception is that you have more fun with the crazy ones- the truth is, it depends on how high your threshhold for PAIN is... LOL. It is just my inclination, but perhaps its the THRILL of it. Sometimes people who are "bad" seem to give us "nice" people an adventure that we don't usually know how to take on our own? Not to say it ever ends pleasent, but it is one reason i think.

Answer 9

The worst thing you can do to a woman is bore her. A bad lad may not be good for her but she knows she wont get bored! Nice blokes have to find ways of being intriguing without being nasty!

Answer 10

Not necessarily. For instance, I don't really care for the bad boys. But for some women, dating a bad boy is like an outlet because they are usually the good girls. It's just an experince for some. Hope I helped!

Answer 11

It's the thrill of the chase and the win of the fight with these guys. These guys turn a lady on and a lady feels like she's a match for the latch.
