Girls who go for the "bad boy" forget that they're called "bad" because they really are quite literally "bad". Then they complain that men are "bad". Don't listen to them. Half of them secretly love it, and the other half are just plain dumb.
By the way I totally get the "I'm a nice guy, why are women passing me up for the scumbags?" vibe of the OP. I think that's the real issue of this post. My advice to you is that women like to be respected, loved, treated courteously etc of course they do, but they also like to be slammed up against the wall every once in a while (mostly metaphorically, but sometimes literally, depends on the girl). The secret is to cultivate a little bit of superficial badness, but still be the nice guy underneath. Treat her nicely where it really matters and badly when she wants it. If you can manage this balancing act (and if she's a good communicator that will certainly help things along by eliminating a lot of the guessing games) then you'll be that "bad boy" that all the girls go out with, while all the "nice guys" look on and go "he's such an asshole, how did he score that hot chick...". Trust me, it works. It's been working for me for a while now...
