  • Sex Stereotype: Ladies Love Bad Boys

     

    He drinks, he smokes, he swears, he has tattoos, he rides a Harley, he owns several leather jackets, and best of all he's got a really bad ass shark-tooth necklace.  You can't figure out what it is about him, but the ladies just can't keep their hands off him.  He probably hasn't showered in weeks (because he's so bad) but even that doesn't keep the girls away.  What is it about this guy that makes him so unbelievably resistible?

    I've labeled it a "sex stereotype" but is it really?  I don't think I know a single girl who's never had a thing for bad boys.  Sure they might not end up being with one in the long run, but does every girl love the excitement that a bad boy brings to her life?

    It's not a completely inaccurate stereotype. The biological triggers are most strongly activated in the presence of a man who exudes confidence - and for "bad boys", this is second nature. It's not so much doing "bad" or "non-conformist" things that makes them attractive as it is their ability to be confident. This manifests itself in many ways, from being challenging to keeping people on their toes to a whole host of other ways.

    Oh, and first.

    I'm sorry, what?  I was too busy staring at that sexy ass shark-tooth necklace.  Oh God, shark-tooth necklace.  Take me now.

    It's true when you're young and immature. Hopefully as girls mature they get over it; otherwise, they're in for a world of hurt.

  • sissydesarie@xanga

    I perfer the underdog. I don't like competition from other females. I guess I'm lazy in the chase.

  • miis_cheung@xanga

    Are you sure that you don't like bad boys? Because it sounds like you've got a good first hand account on Colin Farrel

  • mynameisblueskye@xanga

    "Mmm. Oh yeah .You like that? I want to blow a juicy load so big and deep in your pussy that you'll make octomom look like a wimp by the time I'm through with you. I'll make your booty smell like me for the rest of your natual life! Aahhh!!!"


    Oops. I didn't see you there. Just practicing my bad boy routine for the next date.

    @miis_cheung@xanga - I can't help it. just look at that look he's giving me. and the eyebrows! *swoon*

  • erahslover@xanga

    @sissydesarie@xanga - gahahha. wow. thats awesome.

    I dunno if thats true. I dont consider myself a "bad boy" but im a bit of a smartass and if any dude tries to come at me wrong ill have no problem verbalizing it and then throwing hands if need be.

    But I dont SEEK OUT to "rebel" and drive a motor cycle or whatever the fuck. Theres some gray area and I think women can appreciate that. Someone whose an asshole that keeps them on their toes and guessing, but a total respectful sweetheart that will treat her right(when deserved haha) and wont embarrass her infront of family and friends.

    I love looking at those HOTT bad boys.  

    They are usually strong and sexy and confident and know what they want.  That is why I'm attracted to them.  Oh and they're mysterious.  You don't know what they're thinking, but you really want them to be thinking about you.  And when I see one I just want to scream do me now.
  • panda_cupcake@xanga

  • erahslover@xanga

    @mynameisblueskye@xanga - GAHAHAHHA! ...gross. I dont thin ka bad boy would say that but.. would have chicks believe that he would do that... then try the same on her sister and her mom.

    @erahslover@xanga - Assuming one of which is a porn actor. Most of that is just joking, but you never know with a lpot of sexual hunger in your system.

  • thegirlwiththecamera@xanga

    Sex aside, I think all women, at some point in their lives, want to be with the bad boy. It makes us feel more daring, like we can handle something we probably actually can't. Reminds me of a Quote from X-2...



    Dr. Jean Grey:

    Girls flirt with the dangerous guy, they don't bring him home; they marry the good guy.

  • mynameisblueskye@xanga

    @erahslover@xanga - Is this better bad boy lexicon: "Hey baby. You have an ass so juicy, I can taste peach just from licking the hole of your pussy. I bet you want a man with a dick so big, I can suck it myself. Don't you?" It's close, but that one has won many a porn starlets. Haha!

  • RushmoreJ@xanga

    I also think there is a lot of women who have a submissive streak and the bad boy represents someone who is completely in control of their relationship.  (Sorry mynameisblue it's not about language its about control.)  'Do me' is an appropriate phrase.  I think only 1. women who want to be abused stay with the bad boys (those with a bad self image and want to be punished) or 2. women who have a overly nurturing streak (and think the boy is misunderstood).


    Is there something primal in our male desire to be in charge and dominate and the female desire to be controlled and "done to"?? 

  • silentwhim@xanga

    bad does not have to equal sexy or good looking >.> the media just portraits that way. Ever seen a short fat bad boy? Guess not! wehh too bad they exist too ;_;

    we crave excitement, or rather "pleasure" so "bad boys" is perceived as a excitement beacon for women.  

  • coolmonkey@xanga

    No stereotype here.  Put this under FACT.

  • ordinary_gir1@xanga
  • Coke0@xanga

    hmm i don't know. i don't think guys should worry about it too much...girls will usually end up marrying the nice guy.

  • beforedawn@xanga

    hmm how does talking bout bad boys equate to marrying? ... if yer the bad boy.. why would ya wanna? note to self ... find interesting shark tooth necklace... and work on constipated lear... walks off mutterin... bad ... heh... bad......

  • nonurbusinessyo@xanga

    Girls seek out bad boys and try to change them into good boys.  They like the challege I think =P

  • tokyoexpressman@xanga

    I knew lots of girls who liked "bad boys" too. Then I graduated high school.

    The media likes to blow this all out of proportion. It's the confidence that bad boys give off that wins them girls. Most people don't realize that bad boys get blown off and shot down by women all the time, the difference is they don't spend time complaining or dwelling on it. They get right back in the game and it's that "I don't care what anyone thinks, I know what I want and dammit I'm gonna get it," attitude that girls find attractive.

    It's not so much that girls really want "bad boys" because they come with a ton of baggage, but it's because the good guys don't stand out. Nice guys aren't doing anything but making it easier for the bad boys to win.
