There’s a reason why the phrase, ‘Good guys finish last’ was coined. Just like Eve couldn’t resist the forbidden apple, her successors, the whole women clan can’t help but get attracted to guys who are bad news. These are the tough dudes who are known to be heart-breakers and leave the good guys confused as to why the ladies make a beeline for those men over them. We present you with some logical explanations as to why exactly women have been going for the bad guys since long.
1. Other women want them too
Women are known to want what they can’t have or what another woman has. This catty nature of most women makes them fall for and dream about getting the bad boy because they are coveted by many other females. If they get his attention, it makes them feel important and higher than other females vying for him.
2. There’s a sense of mystery about them
If a guy is a jabber mouth, whose whole life story you know about, then there is nothing left for the woman to discover and know further. She gets bored easily. Bad boys always have this sense of mystery around them and are generally men of few words. This makes females curious and in order to know more about why exactly he is bad, they try to get closer to him.
3. Taming them is an ego boost
Women are complicated creatures, really. They feel the good guy is too vanilla for them and so they want to tame the bad boy to be a good boy. Ladies want a bad boy who will be all swagger and attitude to the world, but soft and caring with them. However, this doesn’t really happen and they often end up with heartbreaks, giving the good guys an opportunity to offer a shoulder to cry on.
4. They stand out with their guts
Bad boys are rebels with or without a cause. They are gutsy guys who fear no one, be it family or society. They do their own thing, display a high confidence level, have a swagger and a care-a-damn attitude, a la Brad Pitt in Fight Club. This makes them stand out and looked up to by people in awe. When you chase women, they will take you for granted but when you are a bad boy who doesn’t care, women will chase you.
5. They allow women to experience a dramatic life
Whether they admit it or not, most women are drama queens. That’s the main reason why dramatic TV sitcoms and serials enjoy so much popularity worldwide. They wish that such dramas and emotional conflicts they see in movies and serials be experienced by them in reality too. Good guys are secure and stable so they won’t provide much of drama but with bad boys there is drama overload with his moody behavior, and women love that.
6. They are wrong but feel right
Good guys are just too boring and vanilla. Yes, they are fine for long term settlement but that romantic spark and charm is more often than not, felt with a bad boy than a good one. The very fact that a bad boy who doesn’t care about the world, chose them, makes women go weak in the knees, even though he will not last for long.
