The bad boys make life interesting, some people think. Personally, they aren't my thing. I'm a nerd girl, I love computer boys.

I'm not a guy, but I can tell you, I don't like jerks, and my friends don't like jerks...\n\nWhat's a jerk?  Someone that does things that you wouldn't do?  If so, there are a lot of jerks out there, aren't there?  If a jerk is just MEAN, well, mean people suck!\n\nWomen don't like jerks, but they don't want a guy who is falling all over themselves trying to please us, either.  Women want a man that is CONFIDENT.  Not pushy, not a jerk, and no-way obnoxious.  \n\nWe do like - good listeners (hello guys - That means to really listen...  we can tell when you are faking it! hehe)  and know how to have an intellegent conversation.  Don't fall over yourself trying to be someone that you aren't.  Hey, by the way, we like a little bit of a chase, too.  A little mysterious, a little bad, a little good.  We want someone that looks into our eyes when we are talking (not that creepy stare thing)....\n\nHey, no wonder you guys can't figure us out.... We can't even figure us out either!\n\nBe yourself.  Do NOT pretend to be anything - especially - don't pretend to be a jerk!

we love honest, caring, sweet guys with outgoing personalities. someone who can hold their own. He has to make us feel totally beautiful, even after work. Someone who is totally random and will suprise us with something we personally like, not just roses...like gummy bears or a poem or something. \n\nwe don't like stupid, sweaty, mean, liars. Someone who refuses to pay..someone who will physically or mentally abuse us. etc

well, as you get older, you'll find more guys that are mature. Unlike this jerk. You'll find someone better. Guys just love to flirt. same with girls. just try not to get emotionally attached everytime you spend a lot of time with guys.

It's all the reason. If you did it just to be a b*tch, then probably not. But if you did it to stick up for yourself, most of the guys I know get turned on by that

The "good ones" as usually too nice to us. \n\nIts the thrill of the chase that most like - playing hard to get.  \n\nTry being a bit meaner towards a girl and they'll love ya.  That's what I've noticed about my friends.  They like that guys that are mean to them. Don't know why though.

Of course! People are usually on their best behavior until you really get to know them.  Sometimes they turn out to be really nice other times they can be really big jerks.

Women don't like jerks, they're just kind of biologically drawn to them...\n\nWomen love confidence.  Even when they're not confident, jerks are typically a bit cocky (which ironically, is a sign that one lacks confidence).  Cocky resembles confidence just enough to get the girl.  Being a domineering control freak is also an attribute that women commonly mistake for confidence, and as a result, such men often get the girl while the nice guy loses out.  Meek & indecisive are the two most effective female repellants out there!   \n\nWomen also love mystery.  Jerks are not open with their feelings, which makes them a bit mysterious.  Nice guys are frequently open with their feelings which kills the mystery.  While women CLAIM they want a man who's open with his feelings, deep down they much prefer a man who keeps some mystery about him.  \n\nIgnore what women SAY they want in a man; instead, pay attention to what they RESPOND to.  Generally, the key with women is to be "the man with a plan" (e.g. don't ask her where she wants to go on a date, just take her there) who's fun to be around (most important: make her laugh) but doesn't talk too much (don't tell her your life story right away, make her work for it), all without being a domineering a-hole.

Of course the saying goes to each cat their own rat. Not everyone loves the bad boys and most nice guys eventually do win in one form or another. The most interesting thing ive heard as to why this occurs is that its some kind of evolutionary kick in type of thing. When looking for someone to mate with, pass on you genes, stop the biological clocks ticking, whatever you want to call it, women (conciously or not) look for a dominant, assertive, more evolutionarily "fit" man. These type of guys are typically the ones you describe, though they arent all abusive and unfaithful as much as they are assertive and aggressive. If you believe women decide what role a man is going to play very shortly after they meet them, then it stands to reason that a more assertive approach = more response from women, as a boring or too nice approach takes a little longer to cultivate.

I think it's a combination of both.  Sometimes people are quick to get involved with someone who is goodlooking, but soon find out that they are a creep.  But I do think that the people who have a great personality are usually attractive to the people who are attracted to them.  Goodlooking to one person may be ugly to another person.  Example- In my opinion, my sister is attracted to the ugliest guys I've ever seen. But she thinks that they are FINE!

Yes! BUT we don't like guys who think they have great personalities, senses of humor and smashing great looks.

its genetical and hormonal....women who have higher levels of male hormones are more in touch with their musculine side, they often go for a nice guy.\nWomen who have lower levels of male hormones are more in touch with their feminine side and go for the bad boy

a guy wants a good personality, humorous, nice. Being atracted to the person is always nice, but that is not always the way it works out.

It probably means that you need more self-confidence.  It's really not a matter of nice, but guys who don't have the confidence to make the first move, etc., often come across as being "too nice."\n\nBottom line:  Don't be a jerk, but don't be afraid to make a move.

I think guys are overly nice (or 'smarmy') to girls they fancy.  But they can be just normally nice to girls they just see as other human beings, if they are a nice person, and in a good mood (!)

Bad Boy Jerks are fun to play with, Courteous Nice guys are best to stay with.
