Many girls are attracted to danger element of the bad boy image. The reality is they like the idea and not the actual bad boy. Women think with their hearts and emotions. That is why they so easily are led astray by someone with less than honest intentions. A great many women find themselves wanting a bad boy with a secure and stable life. Hardly a realistic expectation in most cases and more often than not by the time they realize their folly they are are tied to a loser of a man for life with a child or 2 and trapped in a life of lowered expectations.

Hey James,

I can relate to this entirely, even though i am a girl i have spoken with a few of my friends and they have told me the reason for this. Most girls prefer bad boys because of the element of danger that comes along with them, girls enjoy the rush of adrenaline and often feel more protected when they are with them. The reason why girls never seem to go for the good guy is because they see it as no fun, there's no danger involved because good guys are always well behaved and polite. I do not understand the allure of the 'bad boy' i never will to be quite honest and that is why i also remained single throughout high school as the majority of them were just arrogant jerks. I find the polite good guys far more attractive but i never really seem to find them where i am from so don't change yourself, you will find girls are more attracted to you the older they get. Girls at this age are just looking for fun because they are young and enjoy being reckless but for some reason never learn that they are going for the wrong guy when they get there heart broken. They'll wake up and realise one day, that you are the type of man they need. You'll find someone you deserve soon so don't change yourself in anyway, well mannered guys always get the girls in the end ;) take care! x

I guess high school is all about popularity and looking cool, and so the majority of girls in high school aren't quite clever enough yet to realise that in real life, those things just don't matter. And so they date the bad guys to look cooler, and maybe to get a bit of a reputation and attention and feel pretty and special if the hot bad guy has chosen to date them.

I think I'm just like you, except I'm a girl. People told me I was pretty, and I was intelligent and polite yet shy in secondary school. I went through all of it without a boyfriend because the kind of boys who would ask me out or hit on me were "bad guys" or assholes. The guys that I liked were the one's like me - shy and intelligent and polite. And we were both to shy to make a move. So I would date you!

Definitely do not change. One day a girl is going to love you for who you really are with all of her heart, and I know I would rather have this than a girl who loved you for a fake persona.

It might mean you have a wait a little while, but they say the wait is worth it in the end :)

Without doubt good girls, given that with a nasty woman, you're asking for a load of drama or an STD, or both if ur simply that unfortunate..I've had my share of dangerous women and that's simply now not a group I plan on going again too, lol so a just right girl that's not stuck up or try new matters

Because they think they can 'change' a bad boy into a good one. Only later to find out that couple years later the guy has abused her, got her pregnant and ruined her life. Then when she has realised bad boys aint sh*t they are going to look for a good guy like you because they need a way out. STAY AWAY from these types of girls I beg you. Just be patient and the right one will come along

Hi James,

Just because some guys seams "bad" or tough in the public that does not mean are the same in their personal relationships (girlfriends and normal friends).

We all want to have a specific image for our friends , for our girlfriends and for the public.

Also just because you like a girl that does not mean she deserves to be with u. I always believe that we shouldn't be with people that we love/like but they do not like/love us. Its a tough decision but you should accept this situation.

No, you shouldn't wait, just live your life and you keep meeting new girls . Eventually the right girl will come at the right time don't worry!

They chose these guys cuz they think they are tough and naughty and stuff...But not all girls are like that. Just be yourself and you'll find the girl you're looking for. And remember, these guys might be popular now in high school, but in life it is very possible that the'll be losers, no-lifers and people like you will be successful

not all girls like bad boys. the thing that we like about them is that no matter what they'll do would keep as safe and also the are mysterious and not boring at all.. you don't have to change , though, girls will appreciate you for what you truly are

Because they don't have brains.
