What's the difference between a bad boy and downright thug?

A lot of people say that girls like a bad boy but what's the difference between that and a possible criminal?

What's the difference between a bad boy and downright thug?

Depends on the environment. In my environment the difference is the latter will harm the gal and bring problems while the former will intrigue the gal and bring fun. So:

- a bad boy is interesting, exciting, spontaneous and fun to be around

- a downright thug is verbally/physically/psychologically/emotionally abusive

All thugs are bad boys, but all bad boys are not thugs.

A bad boy could be someone who gets into mischief, like Johnny Knoxville from Jackass. He could be considered a bad boy because he's not clean cut, does crazy things and certainly doesn't follow all of the rules. But he's not in the streets like that so he isn't a thug.

I don't like bad boys, so I wouldn't date either. There usually isn't much difference, honestly.

Yeah, I wonder that too. Like the exact traits of bad boys which steals the hearts of all the girls out there. I wanna change for good and stop being the old goody goody nice guy and momma's boy type of guy. It's lame as hell. I wanna change myself.
