January 25, 8:54PM Bad boys aren't bad because of how they "act", they are bad because they don't give a fuck. It's the genuine deal and not an act that gets panties dropping. CAN RELATE (7) CAN'T RELATE (3) FLAG FOR ABUSE

What is so awesome because a guy doesn't give a fuck [about what???]?

The reality is that in a relationship, the person who cares the least has the most power. The indifference of a badboy electrifies women.

Not caring and acting like you don't care are the same exact same thing to a third party. When you see a movie, do you believe these things are really happening to the actor and the actor share's the characters history and therefore motivations? No. Most of life is acting. Going around bullshitting to get what you want. And no one can see your true intentions if you're a good actor.

They are attractive to women who have unresolved issues, whether it be issues of self-esteem, fear of true intimacy, or perhaps unresolved issues with their father, or some kind of history of dysfunction. These attractions are the manifestation of it, and will continue to be so til it gets resolved. For me it is all too sad and all too common. Certainly not something to be crowed about in a victorious way. I think it is a truly strange way to react.

Noone I know who is emotionally mature and secure partakes in either side of this game.

Well put. Guys who go to PUA classes and heroize these wimpy trolls cum big bad players have their priorities as screwed up as women who actually read Cosmo for advice.

Girls who are attracted to bad boys are girls who are trying to cope with emotionally distant and/or absent fathers. So they become gluttons for punishment, manipulation, and sometimes outright abuse. "Bad boys" are just that - selfish, self loathing, immature boys. They don't know how to give, they don't need to give, so they take. And take. And take. It's sad, it's a vicious cycle that no one benefits from. I'm heartened to read another confession on here, from a woman who understands that unselfish, responsible, grown ass men are the ones worth pursuing.

I didn't think there was some deep psychological problem as to why certain women were attracted to bad boys; the obvious explanation seems sufficient--the girls are superficial.
