Why women love bad boys

Of course women love bad boys. Women see it in movies everyday. They read about it in novels. Women are surrounded by the curiosity of how it would be it they actually dated that bad boy. This urge really attacks young women who are fun, outgoing, but have never been in "real danger." They see it as an adventure waiting to happen. Really, what will happen? Will you turn into him? Will you see it as a challenge to tame a bad boy before he turns wild? Really, a woman's curiosity gets a hold of her and she thinks, 'wow, if only I could be so adventurous.' Women are attracted to the wild side, the unknown that is lying behind the hidden door. Do we really know what's going to happen if we date him anyway? The worst that can happen is you don't like him, he doesn't like you, or you learn more about yourself (such as you like civil, romantic, and passionate relationships). Bad boys brings out the teenager in us, the child that we want to be again, but cannot go back to. Bad boys make bring us back to that defying the parents stage. The dangerous, what's going to happen next. The wild boy, however, isn't the boy you keep for long. He's not the one you show to mom and dad months later when you decide you really like him. The wild boy is the one there for a week, a month, or heck possibly a year, but not long term. He's there to give you some fun, take some fun, and move on to his next victim. Which, maybe that's why we're so attracted to him, because he's only going to be there for a little while, so really there is nothing to worry about, except to have fun.
