You know the type. As he walks into a room, the wiff of masculinity and confidence hits the air like a ton of bricks. What is it about this type of guy that women just can't resist? Ok, he's hot, but what constitutes the attraction? Since before James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause, women have been swooning over men like this. So, why do women like bad boys? Here are some things about him that may have caught your attention...

His style of clothes. They are non-conservative. This says, to heck with your rules! He does not conform to societal ways of thinking and usually thinks outside the box.

He is emotionally unavailable. You just can't seem to get ahold on this guy. He's cool when you call him, but just doesn't seem to be putting that extra effort in when it comes to seeing you. This drives you nuts!

His reputation. Other men warn you about him, tell you to be careful because he has harmed other women. With women, you have to fight them off like flies, there will always be one in the room checking him out. These men are known for being at the heart of every cat fight in town.

His mysteriousness. You will find your self constantly wondering and thinking about him all throughout the day and this is because he never really completely lets you into his world. Usually this is because he is taken or is out there playing the field and you are just one of his subjects.

Women think they can win these men over and/or change them all the time, but 9 times out of 10 fail with this, and this is because you will;

Call him too much and talk too much. He may have a mysteriousness about him, but you sure don't! You call him when he's at work or busy and give him every detail about your day. He never has to wonder where you are. He thinks you will be offering him a GPS tracking device any day now.

Profess your love to him. Although he has made no real effort at all in making you happy or spending enough time with you, you will say, "There is something I have to tell you... I am in love with you!" Nooooooo!!!! Don't do it!!!

Give him sex whenever he comes around. You tell yourself you are NOT in any way, shape or form going to, but you do. Every time! This makes it very easy for him to continue on with his behavior. If there was a sucker out there who just gave you money everytime you came around without even having to sleep with him or spend time with him, wouldn't you keep going back whenever you needed money only? Now YOU are the sucker...

There are alot of bad boy looking men out there that actually do have a good heart. Make sure you go out and try and land one of these. Don't give your heart away quickly. You always want to avoid the ones who may be gang affiliated, are avid drug and alcohol users, and those who have a history of domestic violence. (Especially if you have children!) Be smart.

The main nuisance you will be encountering while dating the bad boy are the women. You will need to be a confident woman to be in this type of relationship. When women flirt with him right in your face, you just hold your head high and go on about your business. Remember, confident women arent overly jealous. OR... you can always go and find yourself a nerd. Nerds are "the new bad boys" you know! Lol, good luck!
