Few aspects of dating confuse men more than the topic of Nice Guy vs. Bad Boy. Women claim that it is chemistry, compatibility, honesty, and the ever dimming glimmer of chivalry that they look for in a man. Yet no sooner than these words are uttered such a man is left in the dust as she rides away on the back of a motorcycle clutching heedlessly to a man completely defiant of such a list.

Could it be that women just do not know what they truly want? Or is there something deeper, and far more unintentional at play here?

What are the usual physical side effects of being scared?
- Nervousness
- Goosebumps
- Shortness of breath
- Faster heart rate.

What are the physical side effects of being in love?
- The exact same as above!

The female mind very often confuses the same reactions as being the same. It comes to no surprise then that many women often become both aroused as well as developing a strong attachment to the man that they clutch so tightly to during a suspenseful horror movie.

In the end, it may be more accurate to define the distinction in "nice guys" vs. "bad boys" as those that can inspire such emotio-physical responses in a woman. A good guy with an adventurous lifestyle might just as easily spark the same type of feelings within a woman.
