    Definition Of Bad

    Bad boys are the boys that a girl's parents don't want her to date. Ever seen " A Streetcar Named Desire"? The guy in that movie/play played by Marlon Brando is the epitome of a Bad Boy.

    All bad boys do not all have mean and evil hearts that is just a stereotype. Some men can appear sweet, nice and innocent on the surface can actually be wolves in sheep clothing. Some bad boys can appear mean and tough on the outside but once you dig deep and really get to know them some of them can be a sweetheart on the inside.

    Sorta. "Bad boys" generally, and ironically, are bad boys. As a girl, I will say that it is not true that they "prefer" bad boys over nice guys, but it is common. I, for one, like a nice guy. Not wimpy nice, but nice. I dont want to be involved in situations that a "bad boy" would probably bring a girl into.

    Well, some women tend to fall in love with bad boys that good guys cause:

    1. Bad boys don't care about how others picture them and their personality;

    2. They really are revealing their real personalities;

    3. Mostly, on my own experience, bad boys are guys who are 'friendly' to everyone. Not that I am saying good guys are not friendly but sometimes they are the 'shy' types.

    4. Bad Boys can always put up their styles in the way the wanted.

    As for good guys, here are some reasons some women don't like them:

    1. Not that they are boring, but Good Guys sometimes only reveal their own personality with friends, not crushes.

    2. They tend to change their style for a girl to love or like them;

    3. Good guys are more like 'smart types' but they tend to be an 'idiot' sometimes for girls to like them.

    NOT ALL of these are APPLICABLE to all good and bad boys. They have their own ways and style. This is only base on my OWN EXPERIENCE. But for me, "Bad Boys" are defined as boys who does their styles, opinions and acts in their own way. They tend not to follow instructions but they sometimes follow people older than them. They may have fun with girls, but as they say, if a Bad Boy really falls in love, he will do anything to win her at any cost.

    Hope I can help!

    No he dont treat girls bad, that would make him and ***, a bad boy is the kinda guy that get in trouble sometimes and isnt afraid to break some rules to have fun or show the girl a good time. girls do sometimes want a "bad boy" but there needs to be a limit to how "bad" you are, break some rules and have a good time but also be sweet and dont listen to everything you hear.

    hope i helped,

    So-called "bad boys" generally have plenty of other interests and don't put women up on a pedestal. They may be jerks, but they also are confident enough (in general) to be comfortable talking with women without getting all nervous and weird. Self-confidence goes a long way in the dating game.

    So-called "nice guys" typically have self-esteem issues to one level or another, which unfortunately manifest themselves when they are pursuing women. They become self-conscious, which ironically doesn't fit being nice since they are selfishly worrying about themselves instead of the girl, not to mention what the girl is doing to earn their attention.

    I'm a good guy. And the thing behind a bad boy is his mystery and reputation. He is hard to get, hard to keep happy, and always a challenge for girls. He normally treats girls with little respect towards them and cares more about the physicality of a relationship. It might be awesome to be a "bad boy" in High school or middle school or college, but when looking for marriage, its great to be the good guy. IDK what your looking for, but whatever it is, good luck
