Women Love Bad Boys, Yes we do! Here is why.
I’m in a few groups where men and women discuss relationships. I see a common belief Men have about women “Women love bad boys” and the disappointment shows up in their posts. They feel disheartened.
Recently, I had a video chat with a young man who asked the same question. “Why do women love Bad Boys?”
I love to talk to men about this topic. Here is why women love bad boys and that doesn’t mean you are screwed when dating.
Women love bad boys because:
- They are forbidden
- They are confident (even if not in a great way)
- They take risks
- They love hard and play hard — passionate
- They aren’t afraid of conflict
- They stand up for themselves — self-respect
- They are adventurous and spontaneous
The Forbidden has a certain Je ne sais quoi
As Esther Perel says: The forbidden creates desire. There is something about bad boys that is forbidden and it creates a certain desire in some women. It stirs something in us. Men have this same turn-on with women. It is just human behavior.
I’m the kind of man that brings flowers
