The Appeal of the Bad Boy

Why is it that women go for the bad boy time and time again even though he breaks their heart?
Ten unanswered phone calls, numerous text messages and no reply, but you’re still not giving up. There’s something about the bad boy that makes you keep chasing him, no matter how much he messes you around.
We’ve all been there, or at least met a guy like him. He’s the guy who can’t look after himself properly, let alone treat a girlfriend well. Yet he is rarely single or seen without a girl hanging off his arm.
He may be a bit of a player, even cheating on his girlfriends, but the bad boy has endless appeal.
You see, how good would it feel to be the one who finally tames him? The one who he’s not going to stray from?
The only problem is, this guy is not going to be easy to pin down for long.
I’m all for the idea of playing hard to get to keep us on our toes and remain a little mysterious. However there’s a big difference between treating us mean to keep us keen, and being just plain mean!
It can get pretty annoying when you spend lots of time, effort and phone credit pursuing the bad boy only to get nothing back in return but a broken heart.
So it’s time to delete his number and look for Mr. Nice Guy. You know, the one who replies to your texts within 30 seconds of you sending it.
Thought not. He just doesn’t have the same allure does he?
Surely one more text can’t hurt….

It’s plain and simple ladies: you want a man who wants you BUT CAN LIVE WITHOUT YOU. Any dude with a decent amount of self confidence gets you off.
You gotta first respect yourself, and a man will respect you.
If you’re gonna play your little game of cat and mouse, then expect us to do the same. But keep in mind, we gonna find other mice once we catch you. Cuz a THANG is a just a THANG, and it’s everywhere. Sorry you resent that. But we didn’t make it that way, and we didn’t come with a manual.
If you want to be special, then quit being afraid of being alone, and learn to love yourself. Have some principals and rise above the “ho” mentality, and you might find what yer lookin for.
A good man will appreciate it. A playa will take advantage of it. Know the difference.
