Not ideally, but realistically, do girls flock to "bad" boys?

Even though I hate to admit, but yes. So called "bad" boys have something the "good" boys don't have.

To some I'm attracted to. But not because they are "bad" but because of other attributes I find attractive.

No, I could never like "bad" boys. Never ever.

other (please elaborate)

I don't know. I just want to see the results.

Like I read up this take here that is proven to be true in most aspects.

When girl likes bad boy > she's open and letting down her walls for a guy she wants to fix.

When she's with a good guy > she's settled, and has her walls up for the fucked up decisions she made in her past and ready nurture her young and take care of her man.

This a cycle of life from 2004 - 2015 and beyond.

I try to be a conscious and objective observer.
What it looks like to me is that the "bad boys" emit an aura of confident, unadulterated, shameless masculinity, and their tendency to ignore their own flaws gives them a sense of character.
Every girl who isn't borderline lesbian is attracted to that.

Other stuff:
These guys are insanely predictable. Their behavior is incredibly formulaic and most of them will respond in the same way to any given stimulus. Their reputation precedes them, but the details are irrelevant because at least they have a reputation. Because of these things, simply being around them evokes feelings of familiarity.

it only happens when you dont know what you want. It may seem that they flock but the thing is you can't find your prince untill you kiss a few frogs. The first person you date is rarely going to be the last even with guys. You also can not know what you want unless you know what you dont want sometimes. can't have good without the bad. thats just how opposites work.

I think every man and woman have a period in their lives when they explore the kind of people that they think they want, but then find it's not what makes them happy.

Those opposite types of people are usually not what will make for a long term relationship.

According to my observations, most girls dig outspoken, confident, outgoing & happy guys.

Thank you.

The problem is that most passive aggressive guys consider nearly any other guy a jerk or "bad boy" ...

[grashopper]

How do you define "bad" boys?

[grashopper]

Yeah, I didn't define the term "bad boy" ... may have to create another thread for that :P
