I am a good girl (a closet bad girl lol), and I also like bad boys... I don't know why, it's just something exciting about them. I don't JUST like bad boys, I also like guys with personality lol.

I'm a good girl and I don't like the bad guys at my school at ALL! The ones at my school are mostly jerks and some of them do drugs and whatnot. Some of them are cute but I hate the way they act.

Any of you in college yet..believe me it gets much worse. Although my friends have classified the "bad guys" into the Natty Light drinkin, Frat boy wearing A&F, Aeropostale, Tommy Hilfiger, while piercing their caps (you heard me right...a small little hoop in the bill). I go to the downtown Kent area for a few drinks and even if I am wearing a pair of jeans, plain shirt and my New Balance shoes (been wearing them before the brand got popular) I get judged on the character I am. Whichc usually means "I'm not cool". Now dress me in Hilfiger Jeans and an A&F (or greek organization) shirt, color my hair blond, give me an earring and designer everything else....and the girls will flock.


What really gets me is something I encountered last night. If anyone has been in the NorthEast area of Ohio before, they should know where the Flats are and what all goes on down there. Anyhow, there are a bunch of clubs and some have dress codes. How shallow is that??

I just don't like the fact that I'll go through life being judged on what I wear since it isn't a popular brand and knowing that society is so shallow when it comes to appearance. Everyone says to "be yourself" if you want to meet other people. What they meant to say was "be yourself by being someone who you are not".

That is why the "good girls" like the "bad guys".

That's all me right there. I don't drink (well not yet), I am the worst student (C's and below) and I drive way over the speed limit. What can I say, I have a need for speed. That's why coasters are my thing.

I guess since I have a GF that automatically qualifies me as a bad guy. Maybe you guys need to learn the saying "Don't hate the player hate the game" I can't help it that I am a player. hehe

At my school, they'res two groups, the hot girls, who like the attractive boys (I guess I fall into that category), and the ugly girls, who like the ugly boys. It's rare that a person from one group likes a person from the other group. I've never noticed a good girl liking a bad boy.

Personally, I'm in college, and I do see where all those guys who are in frats and just basically are followers get a lot of girls for being able to follow the trends (something I don't see the appeal in since it's so easy to do), but I've had plenty of success being more myself. I don't wear anything on my legs but jeans or shorts (I don't wear baggy jeans either, a couple pairs of tight ones, but the rest are normal fit), and nothing on my upper body but t-shirts. It's who I am. The only bad boy image I give at all is that I can drink an awful lot, and as a freshman could drink many seniors under the table, that's really it.

My music theory teacher tells me that good girls like bad guys until they turn 21... and then it changes. He says its because they want our money. Then again, he's quite the cynic.

I WAS a good girl...and I fell in love with a bad boy...and buh bye to the old me. I was sooo pure and innocent and sheltered. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a nice person. I've just been through alot more, been exposed to more things.

I guess it's the whole allure of the whole bad boy image. Bad boys are more exciting, more dangerous. Not all bad boys are jerks either. Some are really sweet, fun, awesome guys who do things they shouldn't cuz they're stupid.

When you're a good girl and you like a guy who seems bad, it seems almost forbidden. Something thats taboo, that you can't possibly touch. It's exciting, you know you shouldn't like this guy, but you do. It's really stupid I know, but hey...thats what happens.

Not all bad boys are dirtbags either, as you guys are defining. The guys that I consider bad that I hang with dress in nice clothes, drive nice cars, and use mommy and daddy's money to buy expensive drugs. It's not that they're dirtbags, it's that they're spoiled brats with nothing better to do. They do some "bad" things, but being a dirtbag obviously has nothing to do with it. And the funny thing is, my boyfriend drives fast, but gets amazing grades, all above 90, he just has a memory like that. I really think it's the hockey team, they're all bad boys.

HisDougness: They do want something out of you... they want you to spoil them... trust me on this.

I can be as good as I wanna be, or as bad as I wanna be... typically I choose to be the sweet and caring guy, but of course for the most part the girls I know will go "I just want to be friends" type thing. I do have a "bad" side to me though, and I can at least use it to my advantage when I want to.... the old Bait and switch. For the most part, they take it.

Also, I will just say is that the seemingly sweetest of girls can hide themselves well enough where they can be bad girls inside (which actually I would rather have cuz it forces me to be spontaneous more, which I like to be once in a while).

No, but it does make sense. When you're 21, it's assumed that you would be more mature than you were at the age of 15. Besides, high school/middle school relationships for the most part are superficial. There are the exceptions, but I'm sure everyone can name a bunch of girls/boys who have long lists of past significant others that lasted no more than a couple of months.

When you're 21, chances are that your mindset would be different. You're going to be looking for different things in a relationship.

I'm 22, so far I still see a great deal of girls wanting jerks, the maturity hasn't changed much IMO.

When I was in high school, I had a girl tell me "You're the kind of guy I'd like to marry, but I don't want to [I]date[/I] you."

Apparently she wanted more of a "thrill" or someone who was "wild" or something. The whole idea was living it up then because she wouldn't be able to when she was older.

Guys that age are the same way, just not necessarily with their dates. (Of course, some guys never grow out of it.)

It's just a phase. When you're that age, you're just starting to feel the joy of freedom. You know that college/a job/whatever is looming on the horizon, and you think that'll slow you down and your life will be dull from that point on. (Believe me, that's NOT true!) So you live it up while you still can. And it also goes back to what Amy (Evil Princess) was saying -- doing something "forbidden" gives you a rush. (Same reason for speeding, under-age drinking, sneaking out of the house when you're grounded, etc.)

My advice -- be yourself. Stay true to who you REALLY are. There's a girl out there for you. If she falls in love with some persona you put on, then she doesn't like the REAL you. So don't pretend to be a "bad boy" just to get a girl you think you'll like.

I didn't meet my wife until college, and at that age many girls are looking more for the more "tame" types. Give it time. (Obviously there are exceptions, but that's what I've seen over the years ...)

Basically, from what I've gathered through life (and seeing that other people on this board have seen the same thing), for young guys, if you want the girls, you have to lower yourself to being the stereotypical guy for the most part. If not, you're just going to be a "friend" until you get older. I don't mean this to offend anyone, but it's really how it is. There are exceptions, I was lucky enough to be one, but for the most part, that's really how it is. Still, I reccomend that the younger guys on this board don't lower yourself to that, as has already been mentioned, junior high/high school relationships usually aren't really that important to your future (with exceptions), and I always reccomend acting for the future.

No, it doesn't really make sense. But what I think she meant (and what I was trying to get at) is this: girls want fun and "adventure" now (hence going after "bad" boys ...), but they know it won't last. They know that when it comes down to it, it's the "nice" guys they'll want to settle down with. So be patient. Give it time. They'll come around.

I hate spoiled people. They annoy me. They get whatever they want, when they want it, and think nothing of it. I just cant wait till they get out into the real world and BAM! they are on the street because they thought they were the boss, not the guy in the cubicle.

Yeah, whenever I get to thinking about this, it makes me MAD. It's like the entire female gender is stupid or something. Alright, there are some exceptions. But even in middle school you see people wanting to hang out with the high schoolers. What ends up happening is that they get raped or arrested or suspended and the list goes on. It's retarded. I've seen STRAIGHT A STUDENTS do this. There are a couple of nice guys in my school who are popular (I'd say about 5, me included sometimes (depends on what kind of mood I'm in)) but the rest are all guys who skate and dress like wiggas and smoke pot and get suspended and make fun of people. I have a theory that the only reason they're popular is because people are AFRAID to get on their bad side. If they don't act nice, THEY are the ones who'll be unpopular. I don't know, that's just a vibe I get. Another thing I think is that the less popular you are, the nicer you probably are. I mean, the EXTREME losers are only losers because they smell or pick their nose or do "nasty things" *wink wink* under the table during class. They probably wouldn't hurt a fly when you got to know them though

My theory is that some, not all, good girls like bad boys to kinda get rid of the good girl image, but they usually don't get in serious relationships with them and end up crying a ton and getting all upset, so that's where some of the "good boys" come in and sweep them up :sun:. I call it the "Janitor Theory" :D. Also, this can be called Poetic Justice in a way. Those cocky, bratty, spoiled, stupid, cheating, etc. (I could keep going if I wanted to:D) end up being alone after high school. For some reason all the college girls I know don't like bad boys (even though I'm still in grade school, not a middle school, school grades Preschool-8th, many older girls live near my house).
