What does it mean to be a bad boy?

[Anonymous]

Bad guys are attracted to 'nice' proper girls who have a good head on their shoulders. They are very manipulative in the sense that they only want to see if a girl is attracted to him, but do not want to go any further (maybe sex depending, but nice good girls do not do this). He has a little bit of vulnerability he shows time to time (he knows how the ladies start to get a bit emotional), yet he drives fast, is reckless, and has a pile of bad habits. He always has a bit of smirk on his face. Nothing too cocky, but enough to be like a 'come-hither'. He drops women as soon as he gets validation they are attracted to him. He is bored easily, and really never wants to settle For him, it's all about the challenge -- he can get the nicest, cutest, most proper and logical girl to fall into his laps. It's his charm. And his allure. And for some reason he manages to execute all so excellently. But, smarter women know better and find out pretty quick that he just wants to take them for ride. He is the equivalent of a 'hot' girl, you just want to mess around with them. Sometimes you just don't understand why!

It's more of a manipulation factor that they have. A girl can tell by looking in their eyes that this guy can coax you into doing things that you know you really shouldn't. I don't think it's a behavior or attitude that can be adopted, it's just something inside them. They almost have a total disregard for the rules, and don't usually consider the consequences, mainly because they don't usually have to deal with consequences. Hence, the innate manipulation factor. I can tell you for sure what does not make a "bad boy", and that is a self-proclaimed one. Girls see right through this NEVER try it.

A guy with tattoos that is not afraid to get in trouble is a bad ass. A guy that has been in trouble before is a bad ass. If he smokes, and drinks, and speaks his mind, he's usually a bad boy.

BUT not all girls like this stereotype! Don't change yourself just to get girls to like you because it won't work and someone will like you for you soon.
