If you are a woman, you have to admit that there have been times you were attracted to bad boys. It happens to all women at some point, even if it’s just a crush on a celebrity bad boy. You might even be one of those women who always falls for a bad boy no matter what, and this may leave you wondering what’s going on? If you are a man who considers yourself a nice guy, then you might also wonder why do women like bad boys so much. It may seem like a bit of a mystery as to why they would choose someone who was so obviously wrong for them. The answer to this question might seem like a bit of a mystery, but at the same time it’s entirely clear. When you break it down to the laws of attraction, there are certain elements that women will always fall for. It just so happens that bad boys happen to have a lot of these characteristics on the surface. Sometimes when you dig deeper, bad boys don’t have much else to offer, although every woman hopes that there is a sensitive and caring guy underneath.
Some of the main traits that attract women include confidence, independence, power, financial security, romance, masculinity, and looks. It just so happens that bad boys can excel in many of these areas, at least on the surface. When you add in a touch of taboo and the unexpected, then you have the recipe for a guy who seems irresistible. You have to remember that bad boys are not entirely “bad” since they have to have some sort of charm or attractive qualities. They seem to be the perfect mix of good because you can’t quite tell where their faults lie right away. And in fact, what may be perceived as faults can actually be quite attractive to women as well. Things like defying authority or being the type of guy who your parents would hate can actually make him even more attractive.
You have to remember that a lot of bad boys are actually quite good at talking to women and exuding confidence. When compared to nice guys, they can tower over the competition because they have a lot of experience. They have been able to hone their skills through trial and error because they aren’t quite as shy and they don’t stop themselves from trying different things. That means that over the course of time they have come up with a routine that works for them, and they are perfectly capable of adapting it to you. In other words, they know exactly what to say and how to say it. And it’s not just all about complements either since they are very good at manipulating your thoughts and emotions. Think about it, if a guy just came up to you and started to complements you like crazy it might even turn you off. Bad boys have a different approach that includes a give-and-take that often leaves you unsettled in some way. They are actually playing a form of hard to get, and that can drive women crazy as well.
Another thing that is attractive about bad boys is that they have a certain type of attitude that indicates they really don’t need you when it comes down to it. This forces you to be on the offensive and to pursue them. Nice guys have the bad habit of showing their cards too early and they really aren’t quite as attractive when you know that they want you. Bad boys will keep you on your toes as previously mentioned, and you can never really figure out how they feel about you. That keeps them in your headspace, and the more you obsess the better it is for the bad boy.
All of this comes together in a package that makes you feel something. Whether it’s ultimate desire, curiosity, or a sense of femininity, bad boys are very good at actually inspiring emotion and excitement from you. Rather than just a nice guy you can count on all the time to share your feelings, a bad boy has you excited whenever he calls and you can’t wait for the next time to see him. As you see, it’s not all bad. Bad boys actually make you feel good. You aren’t attracted to them purely because they are bad, and you are willing to overlook certain things because you hope there something more on a deeper level. They are basically what men are “supposed to be” in many ways, and sometimes you may lose sight of the fact that they might not have a job, are prone to cheat on you, or already have a girlfriend. It’s an interesting mix that you have to figure out and you have to carefully weigh the pros and cons of going out with the bad boy. In the end, this type of attraction is not going to diminish anytime soon. There will always be bad boys who get all the girls and no amount of complaining from women or nice guys is going to change that.
