It’s no news that women are more likely to be attracted to bad guys rather than the seemingly good ones. By bad guy here, we mean headstrong, stubborn, rule defying rebel who would rather act the opposite than the norm expected.

So what is it about bad boys that women can’t seem to get there eyes and hands off? Is it the looks, drama or they simply like their hearts being broken?

Let’s check these seven reasons out.

1. Confidence

Bad guys often exude great confidence in everything they do and you know what they say, confidence is very sexy! Women are very attracted to guys who carry themselves in such a manner that displays high self esteem and feel good. That demeanor often makes them appear more handsome and sexually appealing, therefore giving them more attention and making them more attractive to the ladies.

2. Adventure And Excitement

They say good guys are boring and predictable, so they go for the adrenaline rush which gives them the little tipsy feeling. Some ladies often feel that being in a relationship with an unpredictable, arrogant, and egotistical person puts them on an emotional whirlwind filled with highs and lows that can be both exciting and disheartening at same time. The unpredictability, coupled with the emotional swings creates the excitement that leaves them running back to the bad guys.

3. They Feel They Can Change Him

Not sure if it’s a natural urge to fix things or just experiments but women sometimes date bad guys believing that they can somehow change him to become what they want. They intentionally fall for these bad guys feeling they can change his rebellious and renegade ways, they are often under the impression that they can fix his bad tendencies and turn him into that caring, considerate and emotional person they want. Most of the time, it ends in tears and heart break.

4. Biology

It has been proven scientifically that the way women are wired makes them desire the bad boys. An ovulating lady with a biological inner desire to procreate interestingly perceives men who are good looking and stubborn as more appealing and suitable mates. They believe that the quintessential characteristics of a bad boy which includes adventure and alpha male attitude makes them a better provider and a suitable father Candidate.

5. Sexual Know How

Bad boys often attract a lot of ladies around them which in turn makes them more attractive to more ladies. Some of these ladies feel that for these ladies to flock around him, he must be doing something right. The belief is hinged on the fact that having been with more ladies, he is sure to know his way around a woman’s body in bed. This makes them even more sexually appealing and a right mate choice.

6. Low Self Esteem

Many women pursue bad boys because they feel they are not deserving of the good guys. They think they don’t deserve a loving and committed relationship were they are cared for and respected, so they go for the guys who will treat them poorly and distastefully. The Low self esteem convinces them to think and feel like the good boys are too good for them, they need a bad boy to compliment their bad.

7. They Don’t Want Commitment

Some ladies date bad boys because they are afraid of the commitment that comes with dating a good boy. They don’t want a long term relationship, just a flirty short fling and the bad boys give them just that. Good boys will always want emotional and committed long lasting bond and interestingly not all ladies want that, especially at certain phase of their life. So they go for guys who can afford the fling.
