If you haven't experienced it in real life, you might have watched it in movies, or read about it in books. Good girls who play by society’s standards, rules, and laws are happy to choose bad boys over good boys. They yearn to be with these boys for reasons oblivious to onlookers.
Everybody continues to wonder why any girl in her right sense would choose “evil” over good. This is the worst nightmare for parents who raised their daughters well. After all their efforts, their girls end up with boys they dread - the same boys they warned them to stay away from. The overarching question is: how do these bad boys end up with the good girls? What is their secret?
1. They Give an Exciting Chase
Playing hard to get is synonymous with women. Every girl loves a good chase. It's boring without twists, turns, and spontaneity. Bad boys are like a mystery that’s difficult to unravel. Their mysterious demeanor pricks good girls’ curiosity.
Good guys are calmer in their chase. To be respectful, they play their cards too carefully, not wanting to upset the girls. Bad boys, on the other hand, don’t hold back. They go all in with more directness. This approach makes them do and say exciting things.
Not knowing what to expect from bad boys makes women more interested in them. They are on their toes, waiting for the next move. Bad boys are mindful of their actions to get the desired outcomes with women. They create the right balance to excite women without putting them off and are more understood as they get closer to their love interests.
2. They Exude Enormous Confidence
If there's one thing bad boys have in excess, access, it’s confidence. They go about their day like they own the world and everything in it. Bad boys don't pay attention to what’s going on around them but their own lives. They set the standards for themselves and don't seek to conform to what others are doing or saying.
Having a high dose of confidence is a huge plus, and many good girls find it attractive because it’s different from what they are used to, conforming to society’s standards. Being with men who aren’t bothered by those things, men who aren’t afraid to live authentically is thrilling.
3. They Are a Fantasy Projected by Pop Culture
If you watch many movies, you will agree that pop culture fantasizes about bad boys – they are the coolest kids in town. If you want to be cool, you must associate with them. There are several popular bad-boy characters in movies, and these characters are much more popular than the good-boy ones.
Pop culture also presents a narrative that, although bad boys appear to be tough on the outside, they are very sensitive on the inside, and can give women all the love they desire. Once a bad boy is in love with a girl, he goes all in and makes sure that she’s the happiest woman in the world. With all these ideas pop culture portrays, good girls are eager to have a piece of the cake.
4. They Offer a Thrill of Danger
Bad boys come with danger. Peace and calm aren’t synonymous with them. If you're looking for someone to break the rules, rest assured that a bad boy would do that. As much as good girls like to think that they enjoy the calmness in their lives, deep down, they yearn for something more exciting - something more adventurous.
Good girls want to be daring but lack the courage to do so. Finding a guy who has the guts to do dangerous things is a dream come true. They are happy to tag along, breaking all the rules in the world, and doing things they could only imagine before now.
5. They Are Alpha Males
Bad boys are believed to be alpha males even amongst their male counterparts. They stand out due to their larger-than-life personality. Research in psychology shows that women find alpha males attractive because alpha males give them assurance and security. Bad boys embody these traits by nature - they are dominant and aren’t scared of standing up for themselves.
Bad boys chart their own course even if it’s unprecedented territory. Women find this attractive because they want a man who would protect them at all costs, even in the most difficult situations.
6. They Have Complex Emotions
Women are emotional beings. While they may appreciate emotional men, they easily get bored of that and seek men with complex emotions. The more drama in a man’s life, the more exciting it gets for their woman. It presents them with the thrills of the unexpected.
Men with noncomplex emotions are plain and pedestrian. Their predictability leaves them without any mystery. Good girls want boys who would add a little drama to their lives and keep them on their toes. Bad boys have a reputation for delivering on that without hesitation.
7. They Offer Bragging Rights
Bad boys are revered for their notoriety. Some good girls like to be with them for the bragging rights they present, especially when they are among their friends. With bad boys, good girls have a chance to explore things. There’s no limit to what they can do. This adventure gives them many stories to tell their friends.
The adventures women experience while dating bad boys seem like a better option than the uneventful life they get with good boys. They are eager to choose the excitement and score bragging points with their friends.
Bad Boys Are Fearless
Bad boys are a different breed. The excitement, spontaneity, and emotional complexities are part of their multiple layers. Bad boys are different from the norm. They are a breath of fresh air in a society that tries too hard to make everybody conform to established rules. Bad boys question the norm even when many people lack the courage to do so. Good girls are drawn to such audacity and boldness.
