Why do most girls go for the bad boy?

Anonymous
Okay, so there's this boy that I've liked for a long time, and he is so sweet, funny, caring and everything, and we're in the stage more than friends but less than lovers,

then as soon as the bad boy shows interest in me, BAM it goes down the drain:
The bad boy is the complete opposite, confident, kind of arrogant, experienced and basically over all the complete opposite of the other boy.

But why is it after I've had this connection with the good boy for such a long time does it go down the drain as soon as the bad boy becomes intersted? Many girls are like this and I'd like to know your opinion, I mean I KNOW the bad boy isn't good for me at all, but I still am more attracted to him? Help me understand, because most of the time others understand me better than I understand myself.
