Yes and no, but you (yes, you) are not going to change a "bad boy".

He is going to play you because if he really is the "bad boy breaking rules", then your heart is another set of rules he will break. It won't be some form of validation through stalking to see you heart broken after everything goes bad that he is after... he just simply does not care and any woman he is with is purely a sexual object that he has no respect towards.

A woman to the true "bad boy" has as much value as a disposable plastic razer. He will "pump and dump" the minute he is even slightly bored and has another girl lined up (usually behind your back during the false relationship).

Sadly, a lot of young women try to "fix" this guy and see him as a challenge that he was the hot man that you managed to do what many other women couldn't do: tame him. This guy knows it and knows you will put up with so much abuse from him, too.

The bad boy might change in his older age but by that time, he has become invisible to most women or he never actually grew up and ended up in prison over going "too far" into the whole "breaking the rules" thing.

He isn't called "the bad boy" for nothing.

Seldom. My nephew was was kind of bad boy. But my niece tamed him. The key is the guy has got to want to be tamed. And NO WOMAN can make a guy do something he doesn't want to do. This is where so many women make thier mistake sometimes you have to cut your losses. This is both a strength and a weakness with women. Strength, because it's what makes your gender so loyal when you're inclined to be. But it's also what causes you so much pain when the writing is on the wall that you should let go.

I think they can if they want to, and not because of romantic relationships.

[fonduegirl]

I personally won't go for them. Once a hawk, always a hawk.

I don't know with therapy maybe. I'm thinking of the archetypes in movies..

[FilmGuy93]

They can, but they have to decide they want to make the change for themselves.

Every bad boy was a good boy,

But being good boy didn't work!.. Girl hurt him!.. So he became bad hoy!.. So there is no going back to being Good boy..

TRUTH: He Still is a good man!.. He is just wearing a veil of bad boy!..

Put him to TEST: Make him Responsible!. Of taking care of a Toddler from age 3-8 for a couple of hours... As a co- parent or a co-baby sitter!.. The way he treats the toddler will show his true Nature!..

It is rare for anybody to change their behavior once they are in their mid 20s. Most people, even if they try to change cannot do it long term. They end up reverting back to their usual behavior.

Maybe the same thing applies to women?

"When she was good, she was very very good, and when she was bad, she was better."

Before I can answer this, I feel like I have to know what your definition of a "bad boy" is?

[LogicBomber]

No. but that doesn’t stop most females from desperately trying to be that magical girl who males a pile of shit into a diamond.

hahaha idiots

[SomewhereElse]

This is honestly the best answer right here. Funny once you see it for yourself!

[MysticDevice]

I've seen hotheaded guys calm down over time so I'd say yes. Badboys can become good.

Side note: Is your username a reference to the Nazgúl from Lord of the Rings? Lol

[Berethor]

Many girls think that they can change a badboy, they usually fail.

[NathanDavis]

that's always the hope from all those who keep getting screwed by them... lol

[Rockstarrrrr]

Nobody really changes... The old you will come back sooner or later

[John_Doesnt]

Nobody changes, they become more of who they are supposed to be.

[Jennz6]

it doesn’t matter if they are bad, I just do whatever they want

[TroyDT]

Sometimes, but it usually due to some dramatic religious experience. Raul Ries comes to mind.

[Alex8736]

Some people actually grow up where others just get older

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Yes. People can change from decent to bad and bad to decent.

[AddylynnNightingale]

Maybe after they served their sentence.

[Sevenpointfive]

i'll never be good but i'm not a badguy

[bananathunder]

[Hanrej]

No, but good guys become bad.

[LazerBean]

Not often.

[20yearsolder]

Sometimes
