    Animal instincts! Females automatically assume that tough (bad boys) guys will protect us and our offspring. Nice guys come across (and often wrongly!) as being weak, which makes us feel vulnerable.

    We are human beings, not just animals, so we should really all be applying intellectual judgment as well as our instincts when choosing a partner. Those without intellect just go by their instincts- Basically, the less intelligent the girl, the more likely she is to go for a bad boy.

    I've been trying to find an answer to that myself for about twenty years.

    The best I have is because of instincts, and I guess girls want to believe that stupid fantasy of being able to tame and change a bad boy.

    Funny thing is that they'll do it again even if dating a bad boy comes back and bites them in the rear every time.

    They think that is the life and fun. But when it comes down to it, the bad boys usually won't have a good paying job or career. The bookworm men will have the best common sense and jobs

    I think you mean why don't most girls go for YOU? Probably because you assume they all want these mythical bad boys and never make any effort.

    Feeling of accomplishment, of knowing that the guy will only be "good for you. Taming the beast, what not.
