why do women always want to date Bad Boys but marry good guys?

I do not know but this is my best guess: Women want to have an exciting time dating. bad guys will give excitement and maybe a little danger. bad guys will appeal to their wild and bad sides. These guys might be good for dating, but not for building a life with. When choosing someone to be a housband and a father women will look for stability, responsibility and traits like that. That is when the good guys will get their chance.

Sorry girls if I'm answering for you as a guy. CONFIDENCE. Bad boys usually have a lot of confidence...too much actually; hence the bad guy problem. Good guys are usually less confident. Bad boys are what's hot for the moment. They are temporary. Good guys require more work and offer more stability. I once believed that good guys finish last and now I believe that patient good guys finish first.

For the same reason many men will date the model wannabe's. The ones with the perfect tans, great bodies, etc but most often have little substance in their heads. They are going for what looks good only but when it comes to marriage they want something different. Oh they still want the looks half the time but usually they want someone with brains and an abilities far more condusive to a partnership. It's a nasty catch 22 for both genders.

Because when we are dating we just want to have fun and do crazy things. But when we get married we want someone who is responsible and dependable so we know we won't struggle our whole lives. We want someone who will be a good father to our children and a supportive partner. Let's face it, bad boys generally aren't all that.

I don't know that that is always the case, but it probably seems that way. Maybe the 'bad' boys are more vocal about their conquests?

I think alot of women are just in denial. They pretend to want good guys, but will only date jerks. Good guys are extremely easy to find. The sad thing is, many of them become bitter and turn into jerks after deciding it's the only way to score. Any woman who is even moderately attractive can have a good guy. Most girls have a good guy that is "like a brother" to them. They jut refuse to date him. I'm just glad my wife and I found each other. We're both good people who don't play all the stupid games. It makes me sad to see her beautiful sister play all these stupid games trying to keep her boyfriend interested. She will avoid answering his phonecalls, but hover over the machine when he leaves a message. She has this stupid rulebook that describes the methods necessary to attract and keep jerks.

We play and have fun and sow our wild oats with a bad boy. We marry the good boys since they would be more capable of working and providing for their families. We always yearn for the bad boys and enjoy them when we see them out and about. Knowing we have a good boy at home.

lol.. i did just what your discussion said.i dated bad guys an ended up with a good guy..i guess i was bored with my life an needed some excietment in my life at the time.but i found out it wasnt a good life to live.i quit dateing for a while.then i met my husband now. out walking.i was ready to settle down.thank god i did.he was well worth it.

I think it's a matter of the good girls and the good guys being able t find each other. I'm a good girl that took 31 years to find me a good guy. The problem is, the BAD guys and the BAD girls come crawling out of the woodwork and block the view of the good guys who are behaving themselves! I think us good ones can also be the shy ones, and we get approached by the bad ones, instead of doing the approaching.

I struggled with this for a long time. I would hear women complaining about how horrible there boyfriend was to them. My response was why not dump him and find someone better. I think they were just too clingy and did not want to be detached. Just take the first decent looking guy that comes along and not really think about it.

They date bad guys because the want to have fun,enjoy the life and when they finally had enough fun,they decide to look for a good guy to marry him and to create a beautiful family with him.

women seems to like the thrill and adventure with some bad boys. but also wants to end up with a good guy that will accept her despite the past... that way she feels that she experience true love.

i think the answer to your question is simply because single women want to enjoy their life being single, they want to experience adventure. on the other hand women want to get married to good guys because they want to be secure and to be sure that their lives will be peacuful, which is the best environment in building a family and having children. :)

Hi I don't know but it makes great fodder for country songs. 'Ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs,lala' I think the bad boy is exciting and there is something about dating the guy that will pi** your folks off.Rebellion is maybe a part of it Some girls marry the same bad boy that they dated but he grew up and cleaned up his act and became that good guy.
