Why Are Bad Boys So Good

I totally blame Hollywood, Bollywood, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, whatever-floats-your-boat entertainment industry.

This is the plot outline of 95% if not more of any movie or series you will ever come across. The guy would be hardcore bad. He would be hot, rich (this is optional - but it usually is the case because you know - money just makes everything so much more convenient!), popular with the ladies but a TOTAL and complete arsehole. So at first, he would completely disregard the totally pretty leading lady who is supposedly unpopular and an outcast. Isn't it so nice that she would more like than not come with a slammin' body? It's all in the package deal.

Okay okay - so the guy is really bad and either the girl or Mr Bad would have feelings for the other one. Then they discovered "UH OH. WE BOTH LOVE EACH OTHER!" and then he changes. We see his really soft spot inside! Aww, isn't that perfect?

Well, unfortunately, life isn't always so great for everybody who is in love with a bad boy. Speaking from a personal stance, I totally get what girls mean when they say "I can't help it!" or "It wasn't something I could have controlled" when it comes to bad boys. I've been there and done all that.

It's ridiculous! From an objective stance - say you are someone who has never been in a romantic mess - like... Buddha, then you would think the girl is wholly and completely insane as she knows too well that he is not good for her.

So why is it that girls dig unsuitable men?
  • They're fun and exciting. Unless you are above 30, girls your age are probably young and looking for a thrill. And why shouldn't they? Why waste your youth when you are allowed to be stupid for about a decade and can just say that "oh - it's alright, it was something I did when I was young!"
  • It is seen that guys with attitude and guts are testosterone filled which is manly and attractive.
  • We believe we can change you as bad boys in those movies have been changed by lurve.
Ways to get girls with this in mind:
  • If you are bad, you are bad. If you are not bad, you are not bad. Don't be someone you are not. It would work against you for sure.
  • You don't have to be bad to be fun and exciting. You shouldn't not be fun and exciting because you are not a bad boy.
  • Show ways that you are the man without being a total fungus.
  • LAST BUT NOT LEAST: don't ever forget there is a fine line between bad boys and totally out of the question. You can be a bad boy, but it doesn't mean that you have to treat her like crap. Because sooner or later, she would realize, as I had, that you are not worth the time when you are treating a girl who is genuinely into you, like dirt. And there you go, you probably just lost the best thing that's happened to you yet or ever will.
