What are girls preferences? What the hell IS a "bad boy".

I've always been told i'm to 'nice' when it comes to chasin' babes, so i tried going down the "bad boy" route a few times and i then get told i'm too much of an asshole!? i thought that's what bad boys are - guys that toe the douchebag line?....
Does it even matter to girls whether a guy is too nice? and how is a bad boy not an asshole?
Please discuss...... :-)

Good rule of thumb is that most women prefer the bad boy but will say they prefer the nice guy.

Fact is, douchebags have elements to their personality that are attractive. Spontaneity, independence, not giving a damn about what people think...etc.

There are pros and cons to both.

Like "nice guys" will be sweet and thoughtful and make you feel good...but might just be pussies.

And then the "bad boys" might be assholes, but they're generally more fun and exciting.

So...I'm not sure which one I prefer, honestly. But I suppose "nice guys" end up in the friend zone a lot haha Something about "bad boys" makes girls want to go after them, even though they probably won't end up being "marriage material" or whatever.

if you describe yourself as a "nice guy" some girl that you like is interested in another guy and you think that he is a douchebag, so all girls just like douchebags and that's not your fault

no seriously, go read that article, the guy makes sense.

Is this you?
For some reason, you think “nice” means “completely devoid of sexual energy.” When you’re attracted to someone, you treat her like you’re her brother. Her brother the priest. Her brother the elderly Victorian priest who is actually a large stuffed animal. Then when some guy comes along and does a little thoughtful flirting and actually gets her attention, you think “Man, that guy’s a jerkface.”
When you say you’re trying to figure out “what women want,” you actually mean you’re trying to figure out what this one specific woman you’re friends with and have had a crush on for three years wants. (That one’s easy, by the way. The answer is “not you.” Now move on.)
You don’t know many women. Having been passed on by the six or seven ladyfolks you see on a regular basis, you are now ready to assume that all women are deeply broken individuals who don’t know what’s good for them. Somehow you think that treating all women as freely interchangable mentally damaged goods is compatible with being “nice.”
You’re one of those guys who wishes he lived in the Arthurian era — which is to say an era that never actually existed — and who actually uses the word prithee. You practice some sort of demented Hollywood version of chivalry. When women are creeped out by this, you assume they don’t like nice guys, rather than assuming more accurately that they have no desire to get involved with your little love-LARP.
You’re not actually nice. Ask yourself this question: All these nice, thoughtful things you do for women you have crushes on, do you do them for your friends whose panties you don’t want to chew off? Do you remember everyone’s favorite pizza topping? Listen to them bitch about work? Tell them when you see something neat on ThinkGeek that you think they’d like? Getting extra attention from someone who’s generally nice is flattering. Sitting under the laserlike niceness focus of someone who’s usually oblivious is actually pretty unnerving.
Finally, the most common affliction: searing, blinding desperation. There’s a big, inviting grassy area between being a schmuck and being an Alpha Jerk, and it’s called “self-confidence.” It’s nice for picnics! Seriously, if there’s any one thing that’s universally attractive to men, women and intersexed individuals of any and all types, it’s confidence. People like people who like being the people they are. The sort of guys who worry about being “too nice” don’t want to be who they are. They want to be Someone’s Boyfriend, as if that will solve all their personal problems. That’s as off-putting as real, true niceness is attractive.

The main problem with nice guys is that they never display their sexuality.

Being submissive, supplicating to her and needlessly giving her value all make you appear desperate, and desperation is an epic turn off.

See my old post here (http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?p=48235762#post48235 762) about showing your sexuality and staying the fuck out of the friend zone.

Flirt. Tease. Touch. Be a challenge. Show her that you're interested in her sexually. This is what 'bad boys' do without knowing.

You don't have to be an asshole. You just have to not be a doormat.

A lot of girls want a "bad boy" until they're mid to late twenties and realize these bad boys make less than 30K a year, still chest bump their friends, wear shirts three sizes too small, and think The Hangover will be the funniest movie ever made. Then they go for the nice guys...which are all taken. So they lose out. Stupid bitches.

that's not and has never been my definition of a "bad boy". "Bad boys" can be of any educational/economic distinction they just have a certain confidence and arrogance that women are attracted to and, despite what you think, most women never grow out of wanting a guy with those characteristics, in addition to being nice, just not too nice aka a pushover.

You're welcome. =D

I think a lot of the obsession about "bad boys" is largely due to the sensationalistic portrayal of it in the media and society at large. It's as if somehow men with sensitivity, morals, values, and integrity can't be powerful, important, dignified, or even masculine anymore. At the same time, men who are independent, strong-willed action-takers are portrayed as arrogant, overly concerned with sexuality, and lacking any form of sympathy or empathy to boot.

In reality, however, all of these things aren't mutually inclusive.

Says a lot about society these days.

I've been told by my last g/f that I was "a good guy wrapped up in a bad guy's body." I'm pretty damned sure that's a compliment. If not, I'll take it as such.

Anyway, I don't have a problem with self-confidence or being assertive, which are usually two big pitfalls that I see in my friends who suffer from the Nice Guy Who Always Gets Tossed In The Friend Zone Syndrome.

The phrase "bad boy" is used when a girl is under the illusion that a typical macho tool douchebag is special because he isn't kissing their ass like a total shmuck, and instead treating her like shit. Therefore it's exciting to vie for their attention, because they will feel like they "won" if they succeed in doing so. But they never do, since the guy is just your typical douchebag. Girls are silly.

Sorry. This is like a vent about every friend I've had ever.

Of course that is different. Come on now. If you change the radio station because it's a song you don't like, it's because you, YOURSELF, concluded you don't like it.

Not always the end result, or the desired result, for that matter. Tell me, what's the purpose of going through all that trouble to "score" a few hundred times in your life when you can put forth more than an hour of effort just once and have sex however many times you want, without the work, for the rest of your life?

And this is taking love out of the equation, although by your logic it makes a nice bonus.

Girls like bad boys so that they can turn them into good guys. Girls just want to have that power. I've been considered both depending on the type of girls I've talked to. Just be your fucking self and things will work out. I prefer to treat women right though. It's worked for me seeing how I've been in a good relationship for two years.

The main problem with nice guys is that they never display their sexuality.

Being submissive, supplicating to her and needlessly giving her value all make you appear desperate, and desperation is an epic turn off.

See my old post here (http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?p=48235762#post48235 762) about showing your sexuality and staying the fuck out of the friend zone.

Flirt. Tease. Touch. Be a challenge. Show her that you're interested in her sexually. This is what 'bad boys' do without knowing.

You don't have to be an asshole. You just have to not be a doormat.

What does this consist of, in your eyes? List some qualities, por favor.
-Self confidence, for one. Something stereotypical 'nice guys' definitely lack.
-Independence. I don't want someone who has to lean on me all the time, and in the same way, I can stand up alone, too. I don't need a crutch, just someone to hold my hand. I need them to feel that way, too.
-Someone who's not afraid to get in trouble. I was once with a guy who was afraid to sneak into the theater. At the time, he only had enough money to support himself since he just gotten out on his own and didn't have a steady job. He insisted to not let me pay, so I suggested we sneak in. The entire time, he was freaking out. He proceeded to freak out even through the movie when we were already in the theather. I need someone a little more bad ass than that.

But on the other hand, I don't want a bad ass who's going to treat me either like one of the guys or so differently that I feel like Donna Reed. There's always got to be a line. And it's a fine line. 'Because you're mine, I walk the line'.

All girls date bad boys but at the end of the day all you want is a nice guy. It's kind of like how girls fall for those nerdy guys on TV like Matthew Perry and Zach Braff. It's a shame that when nice guys ask us out in real life we say no. Sadly, they are a lot more appealing when they're famous and rolling in cash.

Of course girls like assholes (or "bad boys.") It's scientifically proven and makes perfect evolutionary sense - men have typically been the providers in family/group units, so why wouldn't a woman want an aggressive man? The thing is, women don't like it when men are mean/abusive/unfaithful, but these are common by-products of the alpha-male personality. So, when women say they want a "nice guy," they mean they want a guy who is aggressive/dominant/confident, but also caring/compassionate/considerate - you see the irony? Those two groups of traits don't usually go together.

I think the best thing for us nice guys (losers) to do is focus on developing confidence and assertive social skills. Much easier said than done, I know.

Girls will say they look for the nice guy. This is false. They like the bad boys who treat them differently. Just them. Or they go after the bad boys because they think they can change them.

i'm wondering less about the 'strong, dominant' men ('cause thats a no-brainer, and something i believe i am), more about the typical Ed Hardy-wearing, tattooed, violent juicers that the US has, and the petty criminal chavs that the UK has?
girls seem to fawn over these average-looking morons who literally offer nothing - no intelligence, poor humour, constant aggression, even petty crime - and they're better than a guy who pretty much worships you?
The only reason i can think of for going anywhere near a guy like that is that the girl is way too 'good'/boring and wants to look exciting or cool. Then (from what i have personally witnessed here in the UK) they end up pregnant and without any support from the dude; their lives ruined. haha.

I'd say i'm probably a mixture of both. Depends on how much I actually like the girl. I have plenty of self-confidence, and I just act myself, and if they don't like it, then goodbye, i'm not going to be someone else to tender to what she wants.
Like Hamlet said in the previous post, I'll flirt like a motherfucker and show i'm interested, but I'll also be sweet and kind as well.

To be honest, I'm probably a good guy. I don't think it's because I am a nice guy is why I'm currently single, it's probably because I have no confidence. I would like to go up to a girl and show I'm interested, but I don't know how to do that. I also can't find any girls I want. :-(

i completely agree with both statements, especially the bolded one. for some reason, a lot of dudes don't understand that there are plenty of ways to be confident without being a jackass. yes, a lot of guys that are that confident are complete ass holes. you can be nice, caring and confident all in one. not that hard if you try... either way, being a jerk does make you look more insecure.

What the hell do i do to convince babes that i'm all about the bonin', which is pretty much all i'm interested in women for (no offense, just not a 'relationship' guy atm)
What the hell do you think i'm doing to give off an asexual vibe?! lol

Flirt more and talk about girls that you think are hot.

true. which means when we're older, the women will just be mad-doggin us to get married. haha. thats my downfall at college. girls dont want a boyfriend... they wanna party. i party, but i'm usually a girlfriend type. so i fall oddly in the middle.
I'm sure there are plenty of ladies who are exactly like you are, haha.

You need to get the balance between confidence and arrogance right. Just joke with a girl about anything. Anything at all. You have to judge her reaction though. I can call plenty of girls I know skets but then there will be one who won't like it so I might have to apologise and tell her I meant nothing of it.
Make sure you don't start insulting/joking straight away though as this can backfire (I know this from experience haha). Keep it light to begin with and just chat. Once you get to know her a bit more, start teasing her a bit. Make a shit load of in your endos.

Yes, because women just love it when you think we're too stupid to know what we want. Also, way to lump us as a single entity that likes/dislikes the same things. Maybe you'd have more luck with women if you didn't come up with misogynistic crap like this. Just a thought.

Woe there tiger, i didn't say I needed help with women. But i did say that women don't know what they want, and I stand by it. Don't get all feminist on me, i'm not trying to insult the female population, i'm just saying what I have gathered from experience.

...You're actually an idiot. Some women like "bad boys", others like guys that are more sensitive, and there's some that don't care for either. That's not because we "don't know what we want", but because not all women are the same. We have different interests and so like different types of men (or women). Instead of acknowledging this, you're acting as if we're just indecisive, which is offensive on so many levels. So I will "get all feminist" on you if you're going to say sexist things.

The reason you shouldn't ask women what they want isn't because they don't know what they want. It's because there is often a difference between what a woman says and what she does.

Sure, she might say she wants a nice guy. Next thing you know she's falling head over heels for this tattooed outlaw biker. Then she starts complaining that he treats her like shit, while her guy friends that are always there for her are left wondering why she never sees them as more than a friend, when they're sure they're the kind of guy she says she likes.

There's also the social norm factor. A girl can't say she wants a guy that fucks her in all directions.

- mystery
- perception of danger/excitement
- challenge of figuring him out/taming him
- perception of being socially/sexually dominant
- perception that the guy is hard to catch makes her chase him
- perception of being wanted by other females increases his value and makes her compete for him

1) Your "boy" didn't say that there's a difference between what we say and do; he straight out said that we don't know what we want.

2) You know why I don't like "nice guys"? Because, for the most part, they think that they're entitled to a woman. They think that because they're always there for her, they somehow deserve her. I don't know if you saw the comic I posted on the last page (http://xkcd.com/513/), but that's the kind of guy your'e describing. And that guy is a creepy asshole.

there's a difference between a debate and an argument. And there's no point in either if either party refuses to change their opinion. I however am only defending my opinion, and it gets tiresome especially when I was not looking to "debate." That is why i reacted/overreacted. Your mind is made up, nothing I say will change it I know that. So there's no point in trying. I'm sure I admitted to generalizing, one must in such a situation. You however seem to get offended when one generalizes. You use useless tactics such as me not talking to every single girl in the world, to get your point across. Lady, i'm sure there's women that know what they want and go for it. And in my opinion that's the minority. I'm repeating myself over and over again. You may be, in my opinion, that minority and good for you. But from my experience, while limited because i wasn't cursed into meeting every single girl on the planet (take that as you will), girls don't know what they want. :Race, fat, skinny, ugly, handsome, tan, pale, funny, shy, dorky, cool, girls can say they want something specific but end up falling for something else. Again take that all as you will. I'm not one for debating because i'm not one for confrontation, I'm Canadian afterall.

Is this offensive to women? I honestly don't know. I'm not putting man up and pushing wo-man down. I'm simply talking from experience. If this is offensive, that is what I would want in a reply. If someone teaches me the errors in my ways by a female perspective then great, but debating with me about the foolishness of my ways would not help. Politics 101

Take the risk. If she's too immature to look past you thinking she likes you to keep you as a friend, I'd say she's not a very good friend. Also, if you like her and she says no, immediately shift your attention to another girl. That's how you kill the awkward.

My observation is that a guy tries to win a girl over being the 'nice guy' but then when he gets her he wants to keep her interested by experimenting with the 'bad' side of him, whatever that may be.

I think overall it's a battle between love vs. lust, depending on what the girl wants.

Take the risk. If she's too immature to look past you thinking she likes you to keep you as a friend, I'd say she's not a very good friend. Also, if you like her and she says no, immediately shift your attention to another girl. That's how you kill the awkward.

Listening now. :music:


Why not? Don't underrate it. It's an amazing feeling. Second best feeling in the world, imo, first being love for your children.

So you're not happy with her. Find someone who suits you better. And please don't say you feel this way because you're bored sexually, think somewhere outside your pants.

this thread was created so i could pick up tips on how to appear more 'sexual' to women. I demand it goes back to focusing on me.

Its almost 6 AM here and i haven't slept a wink :-(


I briefly mentioned earlier that we want what we can't have. This applies to both guys and girls. The problem with being a nice guy is that it's easy to be, as Hamlet described, as a doormat. Being a nice guy isn't bad, but when you let girls walk all over you and you still show them that you're there for them doesn't do you any good. They know that you're there and they may or may not know if you're interested. If they know you're interested then they probably aren't because they know they can have you. They lose the thrill of the chase and get bored. You can still, of course, show them that you're interested, but just give them something to chase after.

And if all else fails, ignore them.

If you wouldn't want it then, why would you do something now that you'd look back on and regret when you know your attitude will change? Better yet, why not change your attitude right now? It's not like you're entirely and helplessly subjected to the almighty power of your hormones.

Who said I'd regret it. I'm not proud of everything I've ever done, but there's no point in living with regret. You learn, you move on. other than some kind of disease, there's nothing wrong with being with many different girls at my age.

Disagree wholly with that. But that's beside the point. If you know sleeping with a ton of women just isn't working for you, why not be happy with what does? Is your girlfriend of three years not a blessing? Also, you may appreciate what I said earlier to someone else (http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?p=68340462#post68340 462).

yeah i'd agree with you on that. i'll probably bring it up to her soon, and then take the plunge. oh, and yeah. that guy, he's a friend of a friend, and i met him tonight. he just moved out to LA and he's playing a show on friday which i'll probably go to. i dunno if i'd buy it, i wanna hear more. i'll let you know how it is.

- mystery
- perception of danger/excitement
- challenge of figuring him out/taming him
- perception of being socially/sexually dominant
- perception that the guy is hard to catch makes her chase him
- perception of being wanted by other females increases his value and makes her compete for him

i guess i don't think like most females do because i think a guy who's an asshole to me doesn't deserve the time of day.

There's not much danger or excitement involved with the kind of douchebag op is talking about. Bad boy =/= leather jacket and motorcycle etc.

It's pretty much almost completely down to confidence, which nearly every self-proclaimed "nice guy" doesn't have.

It's confidence that attracts me.

I voted for nice guys tho 'cause I would like to think that I like nice guys more. It's just that you can't be too nice. One of those "too nice guys" had a crush on me once. He was so sweet and kind and he is a really good person plus he was quite handsome, but still he got stuck in the friend zone for me. I hurt him pretty bad (let's just say I started dating with a really close person to him who was what you would call "bad boy" i guess) and I actually can't understand how he can still be so nice to me. There is no logic in attraction. But I think I have learned a bit.

The main problem with nice guys is that they never display their sexuality.

Being submissive, supplicating to her and needlessly giving her value all make you appear desperate, and desperation is an epic turn off.

See my old post here (http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?p=48235762#post48235 762) about showing your sexuality and staying the fuck out of the friend zone.

Flirt. Tease. Touch. Be a challenge. Show her that you're interested in her sexually. This is what 'bad boys' do without knowing.

You don't have to be an asshole. You just have to not be a doormat.

Ok. Many will not agree with me, but I'm pretty sure that this is the case. Girls don't like bad boys because they do stupid things or don't give a damn. They like them because they take charge. They don't always ask her to decide what to do but rather they know when to take charge. Girls feel safer with a guy who can make decisions and is adventurous (But not doing foolish dangerous things). A guy who would do something out of the blue instead of calculating things well in advance.
Girls are insecure, and they want to feel safe as a consequence. They want to know they are pretty, intelligent and cared about. So you have to take the pros from the good boy and the pros from the bad boy and combine them. You must also have good intentions. if your intentions are to score asap, then you have no chance of landing the girl of your dreams. Sorry but its the truth, like it or not.

Idk why girls chase bad boys. I have to deal with my friends, who are girls, talk about how they slept with some dude and then he runs off. I don't feel sorry for any girl anymore who ends up in that situation. It's your fault not the guy. This is why I choose to be in a nice guy, and why my relationship has never had any problems.

It's the air of confidence bud. If you walk into a room, you can tell straight away who the confident people are. You only need to do that to catch a girl's attention and you are pretty much 1/4 of the way there. First impressions like that count for a lot.

It's all in the body language.

Also, it's worth paying attention to your personal style. Find clothes that fit and flatter your body type, colours that work with your skin tone, a haircut that suits your face shape, and unique pieces that express your personality.
