Its the same scenario everytime, some girl is in an abusive relationship with some guy who treats her like dirt. yet she remains loyal to they guy and is willing to do anything for him. and the guy who is willing to do anything for the abused girl is right infront of her, but she will never notice them. Can someone explain the rationale behind this?

i personally dont like a bad boy. just not my type. If there are girls who like bad boys is maybe because of the machismo that particular boy has, plus the popularity and the brand to be with him and maybe popularity wise. but i wouldn't agree that the reason is love. martyrdom perhaps hehe.

I think its really about the stuff that goes with package of the "bad boy" , his attitude , his fame , girls thinking they could change him , etc. But i do not really give respect to those girls . Good guys are supposed to be an obvious answer when looking for a boyfriend .

Oh my, why do girls like bad boys? Hey there! Sup? xD I'm living proof that I'm the type that would go after the bad boys, the ones that are up to no good, sometimes can be total bozos, thinks they're so bad (in their terms of good) at what they do... Sure it can be a turn on for some girls coz of the thrill you know? But some of them aren't too committed, that's why I found out I liked the good boys better than the bad boys, as long as the good boy isn't a mama's boy, not a goody two shoe - just decent, caring, compassionate, and nice that would want you in their life for the rest of their lives. I was infatuated to a few bad boys over the years, wow ... Some of them looked great, courageous, and don't take crap from anyone. But they never seemed to notice me even though I myself was a bad assed chick but not too many guys are into that those types when I was younger. Some of the bad boys are arrogant punks who only want some ... if you know what I mean. Luckily, I stuck to my intuition... And the bad girl goes off with the good boy, both trying to balance each other's way out of slowly corroding each other's sides with a bit of this and that. Yea, the good boy I'm with for more than half a year now's got a bit of a bad assed side, which is pretty hot but he kind of fails at it and that's what makes it so cute. :D As for myself, I've ultimately changed for the good a bit just because as the days go by and I just grow out of the phase I was in for a while and resort to just being myself. But if you want my opinion on why girls like bad boys, like I said... some of them are pretty hot, sexy, thrilling life style, it's a turn on for some people. But one day the bad boy's going to realize what they're doing is wrong and learn from their mistakes if they're smart enough and if they truly know the true meaning of what it's like to really love someone from deep down in the heart.

girls like bad boys .....may be because bad boys have a name in their college or area.....in short they are famous in area as rude boys or arrogant boys.....whenever this happens in college .......bad boys flirts girls regularly....may be this is one of the reason.........bad boys have the power of strength and unity.....they can mess with anyone with their whole group......may be this is the reason... i think it depends on that girls that how she takes that bad boy. happy mylotting

If what you are saying is right, then that is because those bad guys are famous and student recognize them with name, even when they choose anti-social route to become so. Girl for some reasons, have have affinity for the famous guys. Girls think they too can bee famous getting linked to such guys, and the guy who is ready to do anything for the girl, is now known in the class may be because he neither good in studies or famous for wrong reasons.
