Do Young Women Prefer the Bad Boys or the Good Guys? A Deep Dive

There are a multitude of dodgy and dishonest men out there. Living in a society, you will inevitably run into a lot of liars, grifters, boozers, pill-heads, con-artists, and, worst of all, a small number of violent people. Nobody denies this. And everyone spends a lot of time blaming them, pushing back at them, and even jailing them. However, you can try to change them or whatever, but you can't change and fix everybody.

That said, what people often like to deny is that a certain percentage of women also have 'broken danger detectors,' meaning they can’t seem to realize when someone is 'bad news.' Another group of women might willfully ignore a man's obvious red flags and still assume:

"I knew one woman who had the disastrous luck to possess all three traits: an attraction to bad boys, a belief that her magic vagina would help her control them, and never working out for her. Because first your rules, Miss! At any rate today, she's a fat, broke, single mom. I absolutely 100 percent blame her for her poor choices."

Progressive Virtuous Women and Their Preferences

Many women today consider themselves progressive, virtuous, dignified, and strong independent feminist women. They consider themselves paragons of morality and righteousness because they stand against racism and the evil patriarchy. But that all goes out the window the moment they meet a guy that's good-looking. Women's egos often believe that they deserve to win the lottery, and it is those other women who will lose out, not them. The mindset often becomes:

"It's your fault you chose to waste your best years of your life on the worst possible men."

The Diverse Preferences of Women

Women, like men, are diverse and have different preferences. Some of us might prefer good boys while others go for the bad boys. It's no different from men who might go for angels, cheerleaders, sluts, or all the other types in between.

Understanding the Attraction to Bad Boys

The fascination with 'bad boys' often stems from the perceived excitement and thrill that comes with the risk. These men might break some of the societal norms, seem more interesting, and offer what some women might see as a thrilling and exciting dynamic. However, this isn't to say that it's a positive trait or one to be encouraged, especially given the potential harm they might bring. The attraction to bad boys might stem from a need to feel powerful or as if they are making an impactful choice, despite the risks involved.

For many women, the allure of the 'bad boy' can also be rooted in a need for emotional connection. These men, in their unpredictability and behavior, might offer a sense of drama and intensity that can be missing in more stable, good-guy relationships. It's important to note that while this might explain the initial attraction, long-term relationships often require more than just thrill and drama.

Choosing the Right Partner

Whether you're a woman attracted to the good guys or the bad boys, it's crucial to remember that a healthy relationship is built on mutual respect, trust, and communication. The qualities you seek in a partner—whether they are a good guy or a bad boy—should reflect these fundamental values.

Good guys, generally speaking, are those who value honesty, integrity, and reliability. They are communicative, supportive, and understanding. They prioritize building a long-term relationship based on mutual respect and trust. While bad boys might offer an initial thrill, they often lack these essential qualities that are necessary for a healthy and fulfilling relationship.

In conclusion, whether or not young women prefer the good guys over the bad boys isn't a binary choice. It depends on individual character, values, and the type of relationship they seek. What is essential is that individuals choose partners who inspire and support their growth, respect their boundaries, and prioritize mutual respect, trust, and understanding.
