What even is a "bad boy" anyway, and why do so many girls say they want one?

[Shrimpenjoyer]

Sounds like a such silly prepubescent term to me

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

The “bad boy” is a term that usually applies to a fictional fantasy if a tall, dark, handsome stranger, maybe with tattoos, maybe not, with a history of violence that is willing to change and make himself better for the woman protagonist in a romantic genre story. Romance is made for women, the purpose of men in those stories is to be desirable and often what’s most desirable to a woman is a male partner who will love them the same way women love men. Don’t be such a pill

[Shrimpenjoyer]

That doesn't align with what the rest have said here
And you mean don't be a 'pill' lmao

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

We spelled it the same way, look again

[Shrimpenjoyer]

Not really

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

The difference between pill and ‘pill’ is your apostrophes

[Nikki1989]

Very few (if any) women want a bad boy. It is merely another myth that delusional men maintain.

[BarryLiverstone]

Think black jacket, smoker, guy with an attitude to adults and not that focused on school. Girls tend to be attracted as he’s authentically himself and not faking life. He’s a rebel she can bond with to counter her rules life

[DryGermanGuy]

[BarryLiverstone]

Yup. Guys that are in shape, have good hygiene and put an effort into their appearance

[Shrimpenjoyer]

I was like that in high school minus the smoking lol

[BarryLiverstone]

And high school girls want a bad boy

[Shrimpenjoyer]

@DryGermanGuy leather jacket magic

[Shrimpenjoyer]

Why call it "bad" then?

[Shrimpenjoyer]

Meh didn't seem that amazed by me, but probably because I didn't give them much attention

[BarryLiverstone]

Because it’s bad. Those boys tend to get arrested, get in trouble, don’t do well in their grades, get into drugs and addictions, not represent their family well

[Shrimpenjoyer]

Girls with trauma and daddy issues might like that

[BarryLiverstone]

If you don’t give them attention. Then why even ask about it?

[Shrimpenjoyer]

What you mean? I am not gay lol
I just didn't care about getting into a relationship

[BarryLiverstone]

I never said gay. I was curious why even ask the question if the girls you said that were into bad boys you ignore anyway

[Shrimpenjoyer]

I asked the question because I wanna what their definition of the term is, that's it

[linka_pat307]

Definitely.. it seems so

I won my wife from making her feel safe when she busy vetting me from the beginning. No actings, No performances but trueself.

[User71947]

I would say he's a man who gives the impression that he doesn't care about her.

[MemeSupreme]

legit no girl has said they want one lol

[DryGermanGuy]

It probably happens in the single-digits, by girls from that part of the town your parents forbade you to play with. 🤔

[Shrimpenjoyer]

I have seen plenty

[Shrimpenjoyer]

@DryGermanGuy haha right

[MemeSupreme]

i grew up in a lot of different areas. no one said something like "i want a bad boy" lol

its usually you dont know he is one until its too late

[Shrimpenjoyer]

>its usually you dont know he is one until its too late

That's an excuse women love to give. In many cases they knew damn well what they ran into.

[MemeSupreme]

a lot do when a toxicity is normal to them. they still wouldn't say something corny like "i want a bad boy" lmao

A LOT of the time tho its literally just them not knowing he is one. there can be a lot of reasons why

[Anonymous]

I actually like "bad" girls.

[Shrimpenjoyer]

How you define them?

[Opinion Owner]

Badass girls, adventurous, like to take initiative, dominant in bed.
