4. A bad boy appeals to immature women who are rebelling against
their parents. He appears to promise adventure and romance. He plays the "I'm not bad, just misunderstood" card to perfection. He tells women what they want to hear and means none of it.

A jerk is a bad boy without any style or flair.

6. A bad boy is a dangerous guy.. and one that a lot of women
fantasize about being the only one to ever bring him to heel.

Me, I like a nice guy soul inside of a bad boy exterior.

7. Why do you suppose that women like them so much? I think women
don't like them except with some exceptions, like Pamela Anderson, who is marrying that idiot again for the third time.

34. I don't think so
It was a homemade film, the guys packin' a full load. Although I've heard most women don't want something like that. Maybe someone should do a poll.

14. A bad boy will keep you on edge
Sometimes people need to be on edge. It can be very seductive to be with a "bad boy" Kinda like a big boobied chick for a guy but meaner...maybe or well a... I have no experience with this. :sarcasm:

33. sexism is either a power thing or about ignorance
I think people make generalizations in an attempt to understand things, but sticking to a generations means missing most of the facts.

i think's its a bit of top down thinking. tomato's are red and round. that's how the school books show them. More facts, however, show that this is not the case.

Sticking to generalizations in the face of evidence is stupid.

27. There are alot of broken and/or weak people in this world
It is the nature of a bad person (ie: bad boy) to sieze upon and take advantage a woman's brokeness or weakness.

Hell, with the last election results, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that people can have an appalling inability to size up character, or that women will mistake brash egotism for strenth.

35. A fantasy situation created by
Edited on Thu Jul-21-05 05:04 PM by Cerridwen
a bunch of jerks and assholes, used to perpetuate the idea that women prefer assholes and jerks, thereafter referred to as "bad boys" in order that said assholes and jerks can get laid, which has invaded our collective pool of "common knowledge."

Treating another human being like a punching bag or like dirt does not equal a "bad boy." It equals a monstrous, violent bully.

Controlling and passive aggressive behavior disguised as "helping" and "supporting" does not equal "nice guy." It equals abusive, controlling monster.

36. good points
i wonder if some women just mean busy and exciting or adventurous when they are saying 'bad boy'.

many women tell me they like 'bad boys', but not jerks or abusers (understandably).

44. I bet if you asked the women or girls who say "bad boy,"
you'd find they mean interesting. Sharing interests seems to go a long way, in my experience.

And thanks.

49. See previous definition for "good guy" and add some
"enabler" characteristics. 'T'ain't "good girls" so much as "wounded martyrs." My opinion, of course. YMMV.
