Its what most of us are used to and really a lot of guys that are around and visible are no good. The good ones are either hard to find or married/gay or just too nice to where it can be a turn off. So, really we don't like how bad guys treat us but that's as good as it gets for us. Its like a comfort zone yet we really wish they will change so we try to change them cause we think we can. Bad boys are more fun when they are good to us at some point and seem to be really good in bed but suck with emotions and respect. We want a bad guy with a little good guy ways but they almost never show that.  It seems stupid I know but its like most of us don't feel like we deserve a good guy because we have been disappointed so much that that is all we know and we know what to expect already and just sfraid of things going to well with a good guy kind of scares us because we are not familiar with that. Until we are fed up with the mistreat, we will change our thinking and ways and be alone for awhile til the right guy comes. See, most women are not patient so we go for the first thing around and bad guys are always around but if we learn to be more patiient and alone, then will we meet the man of our dreams.

Yes, but only initially, because they're more noticeable, so when you're at a party and you meet all of these 'bad boys' and some 'good guys', naturally you remember the bad boys because they're usually more fun, more easy going, outgoing and they make an effort to ad least "present" themselves to every person there. While the good guys don't really try very much, they mostly just stay put and aren't so memorable the first time around.

..but once you get to know every person there, you realize that the less memorable guys have more depth - which is to be expected - hence making them more interesting in the long term.

not all girls like bad boys, and the ones that do like bad boys usually get to a certain age and realize that the bad boys have been nothing but heartache for the last however many years, I have never been into the bad boys but I have friends who used to date bad boy after bad boy before finally realising that they weren't worth the hassle, I can't really answer your question because I don't see the appeal, maybe it is danger, excitement and thinking that they will be the one to change him, which of course they won't

Because bad boys are "generally" more confident and flirtaeous and grab our attention first because they charm us with cheeky comments and generally seem like they'd be fun to hang out with.

The fact that they're so good at flirting though is because they probably do it to a hundred women in one night and as soon as we find that out their appeal is completely lost.

It's all about first impressions... Girls tend to go for bad boys because they are normally the ones who aren't afraid to approach us and are the envy of other girls : /

The type of men women like are often like their father, if a girl has bad father, she may go for bad men. And the same vice versa, if a girl has a great dad, she'll go for a great dads.

Women also go for bad boys because they are challenge, & people want what they cannot have. I don't personally like bad boys, and generally go for good guys. There are many women who are like me, & have good taste in men.

it's sad that I am female and can't really answer this question.  I'm actually in this situation right now.  I am in love madly in love with the bad boy but I also know a really incredible sweet guy that would do anything in the world for me.  The thing is there is something about the bad boy attitude that attracts me.  Not sure why.  In my heart I know I am making the wrong choice but I have tried to date the really sweet guy but I just couldn't fall in love no matter how hard I tried to love him like that.  Believe me I did try hard, but I guess you can't even make yourself love someone else if your heart doesn't allow it.  Sorry I hope this can be of some help not sure ... but I can't really explain.  I guess when a guy makes it harder for us to get them the more we want them.  Does that make sense at all?

Hahaha! I dated the "bad boy" of my school before and it was only because it was a thrill to date him. Felt like a rebel. Hahaha! I would NEVER marry a bad boy though. By the time he is 30 he better god d**n have money, a job, and be able to support me hahaha!

because they bring so much excitement in our lives.

they aren't afraid to do anything or if they are they don't let it show. and this makes them look confident.

but then after a while once you get to know them better they look sickening, annoying, boring, f* heads, and we try to look for a guy who is more settle but caring.

I think the most important thing that "bad boys" have to offer is that they're more direct about what they want, and they're not afraid to go for it. Boys that have respect for girls often are too cowardly to go after what they want.

You're generalizing...not all girls do.  Know that movies and all aren't showing that though.  But yeah I would think you wouldn't be able to trust those type of guys so am not attracted to them...if that helps...

that's the stereotypical percievement ... A bad boy is someone who loves to have fun and loves to try new things not the jerk who's a player
