I don't "get" the fascination women have with "bad boys." I mean, what exactly is the appeal of not knowing whether your significant other/mate is going to beat you up or get into a high speed chase during your first date? Or of a guy who's more interested in scoring his next fix than he is with your interests/you? Or even if you're not interested in a long term relationship with said bad boy, what exactly is sexy about the possibility of waking up in the morning after your "passionate tryst" (as those inclined to believe the fantasy would call an emotionless one-night-stand) only to discover that "Mr. Wrong" has robbed you and given you an STD (because he's not responsible enough to wear protection - that's for sissies!)?
The thing that really gets me about this bizarre affection for the worse members of society is how it contradicts that other obsession women have when it comes to men, that being a good father for children - a loving family man. Even if you maintain that foolish notion of having the power to "change" your man, why bother? Why gamble with divorce due to infidelity or child abuse or squandering away junior's college funds?
Now conversely, I can easily explain the appeal of the "nice girl" that no woman wants to be (they want to come off as sexy and naughty [without actually being interested in sex], because that's what bad boys go for, and they know they can use their sexuality to manipulate the more feeble-minded members of the male gender). With the nice girl, you have the exact opposite set of circumstances that one might have with the "bad boy" or the "naughty girl."
It probably comes down to the same reason so many women secretly like to be dominated (if you don't believe me, try going to a "specialty 'dating' site" some time and looking at what the fetish of the majority of the women on there is) while publicly crying for equality and independence. And that reason is probably that they had a shitty father figure in their lives because their mother fell for a "bad boy" and was too stubborn/stupid to leave the asshole for a "nice guy," so their image of what makes a "man" is the traits that their father possessed. And thus it goes on, and on, and on. Until the "nice guy" snaps because of isolation and being mocked for being a "pussy" and he goes on a killing spree, and thus becomes the "bad boy" and gets loads of fan mail from female admirers while he's in prison (or gets married in prison ala Richard Ramirez, etc.).
Ain't life grand?
