Explain 'Bad Boy' to me..... (97)

May 4, 2014 1:35 AM CST Explain 'Bad Boy' to me.....
...and the fascination that it holds for some women....
I have heard that some women like a 'bad boy', a chancer, a fella with a mischievious streak in him!....(erm, thats not me by the way, more nutty noah than mad mike)....
Now I'm not meaning to be a 'thicky' here, (and probbo failing), but how bad is bad, is it being aloof and everso slightly missive, having an eye for other women, perhaps bit of a drinker, or maybe the envy of other women, just what makes a bad boy attractive, and as a side topic, what about 'good guys', do you think they come last? (i actually dont think they do, but the supposition among some single men is a popular one)...
This is open to men and women to discuss, ill bet there are women as well as men who would like clarification on this 'boyfriend sub-set'...
Ok, ladies and gentlemen, start your engines and have your say...

Hi L, wave the explanation of a bad boy for me would be someone who only thinks of himself and his needs and doesn't give a damn about someone else. Don't know about the whole violence, drink and drunks scene as I never went near that. dunno

Never held an attraction for me tbh, I like someone secure in himself and never got the idea of changing a person or thinking that something could work if there's not mutual interest. handshake

I don't think that "nice guys" as in decent guys come last, but I do think that some of the guys calling themselves "nice" or "genuine" are everything but this. wink

I've never been interested in bad boys either. The sort of man who is likely to get into a fight or commit a crime wouldn't attract me at all. An aloof man isn't a bad boy though. I've always preferred a good, strong minded man who deals with others with kindness and doesn't have too many chips on his shoulders. He's more likely to have a decent sense of humour too. kiss

Agree with this thumbs up

The word "nice" conjures up a kind of bland image for me. Isn't there a better description?

I hate the word "nice" reminds me of the word "harmless" it gives off the vibe you don't have enough about you or enough euummpphhh to be heard...sink into the background and let your opinions and views go unheard...and then whine about it because nobody listens sleep

I dunno unlaoised, I like nice in the sense of well mannered and having a pleasant/intelligent conversation with. I do get suspicious if someone keeps banging on how "nice" they are but can't meet anyone at all. dunno uh oh

KNenagh: Hi Sir Larry, I'm actually referring to guys who call themselves nice and genuine and I talked to in RL.

I just think I have a different definition after talking to these guys and and having to listen to them banging on about how "genuine" they are. It's ok as I didn't listen to them again.


Right that makes sense,thats a entirely different storylaugh Those constantly self proclaiming niceness during a spoken conversation either just wanna ride ya or have low self esteem in some cases.

Anyway, have a lovely evening MissKnenagh wave handshake

I think most women/girls recognise the "bad boy". He gains his reputation from being charismatic, attractive physically and otherwise, flirty and never in a relationship for long. I'm sure there is a lot more but I dont think "bad" means evil....or does it?

This is what I wrote on another thread about the subject. Although I was corrected for saying women didn't use the term - seemingly some do on their profiles...


It is men usually use the term 'Nice Guy' to describe themselves.

And usually use it to explain why they can't get a girlfriend.

And then go on to blame the females for liking 'Bad Boys' instead.

However, most women don't use these terms at all.
They tend instead to go for men who interest them, are compatible with them, etc

In the scheme of things I'd put money on guys labelling girls the same way but using different terminology
