why do women always go for the bad boys instead of a good man?

In my experience, women look for 1 of 4 things, in no particular order:\n\n1. Charm/Humour\n2. Money\n3. Meanness\n4. Looks\n\nJust because you're not mean and don't want to be mean to a woman, doesn't mean you can't bring one of the other 3 "talents" to the table.

Tough question as we all love that bad boy . We all want a little wildness in our lives (sex) and then again we like the good guy who is romantic and ccareing and dependable.\n   I have found if i go for the so called good guy later down the road he too has that bad boy in him so you get the best of both worlds.

I think a lot (not all) females enjoy the bad boy look but would prefer a nice guy. But that nice guy also has to be able to stand up for what he believes in. Basically not be a push over

Nice guy's only seem to finish last, when all is said and done, nice guy's finish first with the best women. It's a sorting out process, you don't want the women who like bad guy's anyway.

Lots of young women love men like you.  A lot of girls tend to go for the more exiting/adventurous guys you describe with drama and dysfenction.  (correctly, I might add)  \n\nPerhaps it is because they were too sheltered growing up, or just can't resist the fast-life.  \n\nSome women are just a lot smarter than that.  Not me - I went for the bad-boys for so long, but finally realized the error of my ways when I was in my 30s.  I sure hope it doesn't take most young women that long these days. \n\n;-)

Women really want a good man that will love them , respect them, treat them as their equal, and be a MAN! They want to feel appreciated, not used and abused. Women want the kind of love that they have seen in movies, where the man "adores" her, and cherishes her. They want a small token of man's appreciation, like flowers, or candy once in a while.

yes the so called bad boys love the socalled good girls. the bad guys see the good girls as a way out, and the gg well its there excuse to be bad

We do it because some of us want to be perfect for the guy... and if you are like me, having been in some pretty bad relationships, some women never feel they are good enough for any man..

Because women are typical.\n\nThey know they will marry the good guy, the sweet guy, who will have a good IT job, always provide for them and never cheat or leave em.  Knowing that's their fate they fight against it.\n\nThey hook up no matter how briefly with a loser or a creep who rides motorcycles or leather or whatever they perceive as a bad boy.\n\nPlus women tend to be quite delusional when it comes to their men.  They will never accept what their friends and family are saying and why she needs to leave that creep.  Women are great at lying to themselves about seeing something in him that all of us have missed, that he really is changing or even just glossing over the bad parts and cherishing the good times (as scant as they are).\n\nIt takes more courage for a woman to fight and want and be patient for a guy who will treat her like the queen she truly is then to be typical and idiotic and waste time with any guy who will treat her badly just because she's lonely or feeling insecure or desperately wants to be in a relationship.\n\nOurs is a world in desperate need of strong beautiful women.

Forget all the answers.  It's because girls are stupid until about the age of 25 (maybe later). I don't know what happens after that as I am only 27, but I can tell you that a good guy is all I want now.  When I was 18-24, not so much, the bad boy thing intrigued me, but bad boys tend to be bad boys forever and girls don't want that.\n\nDon't worry, sweetheart, your time is coming and you're going to get the girl all the other guys wish they had (even if they won't admit it).

"bad boys" are for teenage girls that don't know what a REAL man is.  I outgrew that phase real quick.  Sadly there are still a lot of women out there that like that "bad boy" image.  They're nothing but trouble and not even worth my time.

because guys are jerks and they always have choices. gals do have choices but we dont keep changing our bfs as we are happy with one.

No it's very common amongst girls and women. Bad boys are usually lots of fun, and unlike good boys, have the confidence to go after you, which is ultra-flattering. Also, not all bad boys treat women badly, as that article suggested - some of them can also be tender, gentle, considerate and passionate. It's the old "he's a different person when he's with me" syndrome.\n\nI don't know if there's a set answer as to why women are attracted to bad boys. I'm not completely convinced by the "low self-esteem" theory, because I've always rejected the bad boys, not because I have high self-esteem but simply out of fear - in other words, I didn't trust myself to handle the outcome.

Because some women think with there Hearts first instead of with there heads.  They fall in love with the ideal of being in love.  They let there emotions get to them and all logic goes out the door.  I am only saying that some women are like this not all. Some still hold on to the belief of this knight in shinning amour crap.   And some just don't know how to date and have fun, as soon as they meet a guy, they are already picking out wedding invitations and names for their 1st born instead of getting to know a persons character.

My best friend is one of these girls, and she always says she enjoys to be with bad boy so that she can show    all his weaknesses and good sides. Many "bad boys" are in fact really good persons who are only afraid of showing their personality."Bad" and "Good" is often misunderstood.

Some younger women and girls may like the bad boy type - because they are stupid - and don't know any better.  When they grow up - they know what is the better type - the good guy!  The one that is going to be a good husband, father and your best friend!:)

Well some may be but just like every finger is different so it goes with every indivudual. \nPersonally i wou;ld go for a sweet guy - caring, understanding and excepting me for who i am and same goes visa-versa.\nIf someone fall for a bad guy its just to be in centre of attraction but when it comes to choose a person for a life time 99%gals go with the one who love them most
