Why do women confuse bad boys as alpha males?

where exactly does this misconception comes from?

growing up i was always though that bad boys and mr nice guys are to sides of the same coin. they are both weak, lack confidence, and knowledge, etc. the only difference is that mr nice accept who they are while bad boys are at war with who they really are and would do anything to hide their true self.

this article right here proofs me right...

if you look through all those characteristic you will notice that Bad Boys dont have any of these. well except the 2nd one; when their group of friends are with them, of course.

anyways, i have learned a lot from you guys here at the Red Pill Community and the number one thing i have learned from you guys is to never take advice from women when you wanna learn about women. but i remember before i learned this that i use to go around questioning women, especially my relatives on why do women dig bad boys so much and they would tell me bullshit like "because they are more confident", "because they make us feel more secure" and the list of bullshit goes on and on.

all of this just made me come to the conclusion, what exactly is the misconception that women have with bad boys? does that myth or should i say FACT that "women react with their emotions" go this far?

anyways, i'm just asking this under the name of boredom. i also want to hear some inputs on this.
