12 Reasons Why Many
Women Prefer To Date Bad
Boys
Women say they want a
nice guy, yet usually end up
dating bad boys. Here’s
why.
Not real: Nice guys are too
nice. No one can always be
that nice unless they’re a
saint. They are busy being
nice instead of being real
and women instinctually
don’t trust that. Bad boys
“keep it real”. Nice guys
don’t want to upset the
apple cart.
Respect: No one respects a
doormat. Nice guys don’t set
boundaries or make any real
demands. A bad boy doesn’t
let a woman walk all over
him or control him. Women
can’t respect a man they can
control. No respect = No
attraction.
Predictable: Most people
lead boring, predictable lives,
so they’re attracted to
people who are exciting and
a bit unpredictable. Bad boys
are always a challenge. Nice
guys are never a challenge.
Predictable + No excitement
+ No challenge = I prefer a
bad boy.
Mother Nature: Women are
designed to nurture.
However, instead of doing
this with children, they often
end up doing it with bad
boys. They think that will
save them. Nice guys rarely
need to be saved.
Fixer-Upper: Nice guys don’t
usually need to be fixed. Bad
boys usually do, so they
become a project. Women
think if they can “create” the
perfect man, he will never
leave them. Also, if they’re
busy fixing someone else,
they don’t have to look at
what needs to be fixed in
their own lives.
Sperm wars: Women are
designed to procreate with
the strongest possible
genes. Bad boys are sending
an unconscious message
that they have great genes,
so they’re not afraid of
losing the woman by
misbehaving. Nice guys are
sending a message that they
don’t think their genes are
good enough, so they won’t
misbehave.
Fear of intimacy: If a
woman is afraid of intimacy,
she subconsciously knows
she can avoid it with a bad
boy, since she can never get
close enough to him to have
to go there. A nice guy will
eventually want a
commitment, and that’s
scary.
Low self-esteem: We don’t
feel comfortable with people
who treat us better than we
treat ourselves. If you don’t
think much of yourself, the
bad boy is simply reinforcing
your negative belief. A nice
guy is treating you in a way
you’re not familiar with.
Sex: Women feel a nice guy
won’t be good in bed. They
sometimes like to be
manhandled and think a nice
guy won’t be able to take
control and get the job done.
A bad boy comes across as
being able to deliver, even
though that may not always
be the case.
Hot: Have you ever seen a
bad boy who wasn’t hot? I’m
sure there are a few, but
they wouldn’t be able to get
away with half the stuff they
did if they didn’t look so
good. Meanwhile, when a
woman describes someone
as a nice guy, she means,
“He’s not hot”.
