Ever wondered why girls go for "jerks"? In reality, most of these jerks aren't just bad boys, they're simply untouchable. They do things on their own terms and follow their own rules. They usually can't be negotiated with by normal people. They act with a unique sense of authority and get the respect that goes along with it. They can't be tested (and if they are they usually pass) and they maintain independence from normal social rules.

This is the kind of independence that Hollywood has glorified, because it's a position that commands both respect and authority. Girls will sometimes string guys along until they find a guy that they can't string along. Then that girl's attention will suddenly center 100% on this new bad boy and the nice guys who were being strung along are pretty much forgotten. It's independence, a trait strongly attractive in both sexes that shows you have high confidence and don't have to depend on anyone for your well being. Independence in guys can be thought of as "Attractiving Girls Without Even Trying". To an outside observer, you're not trying to get approval of the girl in question. Instead, you carry on as if girls aren't that important to you. While seemingly arrogant, it somehow strikes a psychological chord with many girls.

Consider some of the lyrics from some famous "Bad Boys": Girl don't go away mad, just go away... ~Motley Crue I'm not straight out of Compton, I'm straight out of the trailer... ~Kid Rock It's the same old situation, it's the same old ball and chain... ~Motley Crue Because I want to be a cowboy, baby... ~Kid Rock)

So what do these attractive girls see in bad boys? Two words come to mind, RISK and ADVENTURE. Since many girls are not really ready to be responsible for being "bad" themselves (risk taking /adventure seeking), they find it incredibly attractive when they find guys who are "bad".

These are guys who are willing and prepared to take ridiculous risks and have adventures and along the way, will then encourage the girls to be bad themselves. That's a great deal of the appeal of a bad boy. Even if the girl is somewhat bad, she's still morally better than he is in most cases. And that's very attractive to her. She can be as bad as she wants, and she knows the guy will be even more of a bad boy.

The other thing is that bad boys are perceived as guys who have more "wild fun" than "nice guys". And they show girls how to have more fun. Bad boys like their lives and live to their potential and beyond it. Many girls seem to find their massive energy and self-confidence amazingly attractive. When a girl find these traits in what is otherwise a nice guy, they usually marry him. When they find it in a bad boy, they usually just sleep with him… which is what we all find so confusing when we just look at the situation on the surface!
