(for the women mainly) Why do women claim not to like bad boys?

no,i really hate them..are u a bad one?

I usually like 2 look at the bad guys, but i dont go out wit them. I always leave that space 4 da guys who can treat me rite. I dont want 2 have 2 worry bout bein abused, or have a bf dats on drugs or is an alcoholic. I want a man who can care 4 me, protect me, n love me in every way possible. And i want a man whos actually a man, n not a little boy.

I'm with a good guy and he dose some bad things so I think ether way you go the boy will have some bad in him (I do like bad boyz though)

all women like to be treated well...from my perspective...its hard to find a good guy (like you're talking about) some women fall for the "bad" boys more often because they find that sexy...not thinking about being treated well...and maybe they dont see anything about the "good" guy that keeps them interested.. does that make sense?

The challenge of trying to settle him down. They either want a "bad boy" because they're not ready to settle down themselves, or they think they can change him.

i like bad boys

to make those of us who arent bad boys feel better that we haven't a girlfriend, usually proceded by an "i just want to be friends" speech

I think it's all a matter of womanese.
