We've all done it at one time or another. We whine to our friends about the lack of nice available guys, and then, when given the choice between a nice, sweet (safe) guy and a (dangerous)bad boy who makes our toes curl, we invariably go for the toe-curler. The heartbreak-waiting-to-happen. The bad boy.
Doesn't make any sense, does it?
I recently received a letter from a sweet guy who wrote,
"I've been looking for some insights to what women are looking for, because from my perspective, they often go for that which they complain about most!
Got any advice for us men?"
Baby, you hit the nail right on the head.
There's good news and bad news for all you nice guys out there. Your day will come. It just won't be today. Once she passes through her bad boy phase then you'll get your chance.
Nearly all women go through some period in their lives when they're swept up by a bad boy. The Navy Seal with the amazing bod and the mental prowess of a fruit plate. The Harley guy with mean beard stubble and an attitude to match. The Josh Hartnett look-alike who makes us feel like the center of the universe, and then puts the moves on our roommate the minute we leave for the ladies room.
We can see these guys coming a mile away, and yet we fall for it every time.
Why?
Part of us actually like to believe we can be the one girl to turn this wild man into a pussycat. We like that down-to-our-toes thrill, the excitement of something we KNOW is bad for us. (Like chocolate cheesecake, and Jimmy Choo shoes.) We are just gluttons for misery.
Most women (not all) actually grow out of the bad-boy phase once we hit our mid-twenties. Our girlfriends start to couple off, and we start wondering if we used up our nice guy quota in college when were still torturing men for sport. That's where you come in, Mr. Sweet Guy. Because you're the guy we really want. Just not today, but be patient because your day will come.
Here's my advice for all the nice guys:
Remember what we were wearing on our first date. Give romantic gifts on birthdays and anniversaries (and remember flower-mandatory holidays such as Valentine's Day.) Get what we're all about. Let us know what you're all about. Kill any bugs that sneak into the kitchen. Give us your coat when it gets chilly outside. And remember there's a fine line between being a nice guy and being a doormat - don't take any crap from us.
After all, you don't want to be a good boy in love with a bad girl.
So ladies, should we be patient and wait for you to grow out of the bad boy
stage in your life?
OMG! Are you still harping on about this! Who was she and what the hell did
she do to you? I'll find her and beat her to death with a base ball bat
unless she apoligises ok?
>>OMG! Are you still harping on about this!<< hey kitty, it’s
my blog and I’ll harp if I want to. ;)
Lol. Dave that's like saying they should wait for us while we screw
hookers and wild out in our 20's. It's just not right.
Kiki - how much do you charge for a Tanya Harding style beat down? lol
"Hey even Christian girls are hot for bad boys. Ask Alex"

My favorite bad boy attraction posts come from women like Lisa Daily.
Bad Boys have Bad Boy Germs. And the women who sleep around with bad boys
get those bad boy germs. And the guys who these women settle down
with...whoooo...you'd better get her medical records, buddy! STD Hell!
I don't think the "good girls" who love bad boys are all that good. I
think it's an act, and the phenomenon you see and are puzzled about is
their true colors shining thru. They want to be rewarded for this badness
too because in the end they still think they deserve the happy ending with
the captain-save-a-chick kinda guy to do all those nice things for them
that they seek. Sorry "good girls", we see right thru you. You deserve
being stuck with the "The Navy Seal with the amazing bod and the mental
prowess of a fruit plate" until he looses his six pack and becomes an
alcoholic. Because that's the counterpart of what the nice guy who gets
fooled by these women gets stuck with...a washed up has-been.
Like they say, go for the bad boy and he will also diminish your very
lifeforce. Bad boys are an addiction for quite a few women. Even when with
a nice guy they will have affairs with the badboy and nice guy gets the
leftovers time and time again. The badboy always has the best of both
worlds. Remeber nice guys will always finish last!
I think those women who like bad boys are bad girls, period. Some of them
may masquarade as good girls, but they aren't. They're bad girls.
Hey, for what it's worth, over the years I've turned down the opportunity
to sleep with a couple bad girls because once I could actually get them,
the attraction turned to fear. Why? Because I started imagining all the
nasty diseases and coodies they might give me. Imagining all the bad boys
they've slept with, and some of those guys I wouldn't want my dog to lick,
let alone a woman I'd be with later.
"Remember nice guys will always finish last!"

Many women are really messed up when it comes to men they choose. It's like
some women think it's ok to use a nice guy for the mental part of a
relationship and then use the bad boy for the sex. I have been on the
mental side many times. We do that to a woman and we are called users. Yet
a woman does that and she claims there are no nice guys and everyone feels
sorry for her. Does any body feel sorry for the nice guy? Hell no! we are
whiners and complainers that need to change.
I have seen many "nice girls" stay with bad boys. They were so insecure and shy that they felt they could only get that one guy. These women were attractive, I even tried to ask one out (failed of course) She had a boyfriend, but I swore she was giving me the green light. She turned out to be really shy and had the same off and on boy friend for 10 years. She was very pretty yet she didn't think so. Do nice guys finish last? yes. Why? Because the so called "winners" are stuck in loveless relationship because they hook up with the wrong people feeling like they have no other choice. I'm starting to think that the nice guy is just smarter then the average male and doesn't want to be in a relationship that is doomed to fail.
I got it!! You've got to be 'Bad' but 'Nice' at the same time! Works every
time for me!!
