One of my favorite novels is Metamorphosis: Junior Year, by Betsy Franco. In the novel the main character Ovid asks, “Why do girls like bad boys anyway? It's such a cliché.” It is a cliché and I think most women will agree with me when I say we’ve all fallen for at least one bad boy in our lives; a motorcycle riding, cigarette smoking, leather jacket wearing, rule breaking bad boy. Okay, they don’t all dress like James Dean, but they all have one thing in common; they break hearts. So just what is it that attracts us to these rebels?
The Challenge

Women want to convert the bad boy into a loving, supportive man with feelings. Everyone loves a little challenge...
Never Knowing What's Next

Bad boys are fun and they pull you out of your comfort zone.
He's The Opposite Of You

I've dated guys that were just like me, we liked the same movies, and our personalities were VERY similar. After awhile it got boring and we constantly ran out of things to talk about. With bad boys you don't have that problem.
Mystery

Bad boys are a mystery. You never know how they're feeling or what they're thinking and that makes them (for whatever reason) really attractive to us.
And finally.... the sex..

Bad boys are "better" in bed. They’re so confident in every aspect of their life and that translates in the bedroom.
Note to the self-proclaimed good guys: Our relationships with stereotypical bad boys never last. Remember that the next time your crush is dating a "bad boy."
