Women don't go for the jackasses. They go for the confidence.

I used to be a "nice guy" and never got anywhere with attractive women. (the ugly ones are desperate)

As soon as I stopped being the helpful nice friendly guy, chicks have been all over me.

If they know that you know you can get any girl you want, they dig it.

First of all not all bad boys are alchoholic, drug using, women beaters. I had a girlfriend that ussed to call me a bad boy, not because I smoked, drank (still do), and rode a bike (still do). It was because of the way I acted, I spoke my mind, never backed down when I thought I was right, knew what I wanted and went after it with complete confidence, I loved passionately, and hated deeply. Her parents were absolutely appaled with me because I didn't fit her their upper class ideas for their daughter, and her sisters (all four of them and all married) although didn't think highly of me as well, seemed to slightly gravitate towards me when I was around.

See, girls like "bad boys" because they create more sexual tension then "nice guys". You can be a bad boy and still be a good human being, the key is attraction, and attraction is the most powerful feeling in the world. It will make you do crazy things and overide almost all rational thoughts. If you appear to be a confident and independant individual who knows what they want, women will love you.

Perfect example, Han Solo, he's not really mean, he just knows what he wants and will not quit until he has it. He's cocky and yet also funny at the same time.

Lol at poll.

Anyway, all the girls in my town like the dangerous type, regardless of attitude. I really wish they didn't, but this is called life and it is inevitable.

Sorry about your poll, OP. Sometimes, these things just can't be helped.

As for me, I've got the look down. The attitude fades in and out depending on my level of look. For example, if I'm wearing my mirrored aviators and jacket, I'm INVINCIBLE. Put me in a t-shirt and shorts, and I'm meh.

I think prison men don't necessarily get visited by partners, but more often by related women.

With that said, it is no surprise that the same people who are cold enough to go break the law attract women.

After all, it is those very types who have the confidence to seek out what they want. And women like confidence above all. It is the primary survival trait, and as I've said in other threads, there is a rational reflex in women, born from evolution, to go for dangerous men so long as they're confident on all levels.

Some women seek such men consciously, knowing it's a primitive sign of a good provider. Others won't admit that that's what they go out looking for, because they want to be the good little girl who has a good little boyfriend who their daddy likes, or because they think that such attraction is not natural (it is), or sinful, perverted (it isn't). And others still are depressed and hate themselves so much that they override the natural urge to go for the center of attention; the life of the party; the "winner", we might call him. They are the ones who "settle" for whoever they meet in their thirties, live with him, and hate every moment of the pre-sexless, tensionless, boring relationship because they often don't realise that's what's missing.

Now, with all of that said, you don't need to be "bad" to attract women. Someone pointed out Han Solo, and he is actually a perfect example; he isn't good or bad, he's very much neutral, yet he attracts women because when they say "I love you", what does he say?

"I know."

Think about it. There's more cleverness in that line than that it's just funny. It fulfills three general rules of male attraction:

1) It's confident, even cocky. Overstated confidence, if sincere, stands out in a crowd even more without the added need to be loud, which on the other hand displays insecurity like a great filthy beacon to women.
2) It's intelligent. It implies that he already knew how she felt about him, which shows that he's gone to some effort to understand her, without making the situation awkward by overpowering the tension with sappy compliments.
3) It's funny. Now this is the twist that most of these "bad boys" don't get right. Comedy lightens the mood, keeps things fun, and even better, reduces awkwardness while spurring conversation. If you have ever spoken to anyone who loves to make a joke, you'll notice that either there's very few silences with them, or those silences aren't awkward. The reason for this is that a view to hilarity shows high morale, which doesn't allow the woman or indeed yourself to fear that anything in your surroundings is wrong or needs fixing (that fear is the source of awkwardness).

Over five pages, someone's probably already pointed out the irony of asking a bunch of gamers for how attraction works. Even the girls might have a wrong idea, since gamers in general regardless of gender are hardly socialites, especially not the type that have the time to come onto forums. With that said however, there was a good chance that over five pages, you'd get someone with a thorough understanding of the emotional mechanics of attraction.

That's me. That is all.

Well, someone's looking for attention. I hope she doesn't notice that "little" insecurity of yours.

300 men so far... no pun intended. I think its obvious badasses get laid more, but that doesn't mean they get more or better relationships.

Firstly; I know they are not related as you have to list how you know the inmate (security reasons) often they put 'friend' or 'engaged' I've seen many guys "engaged" (massive quotes) to two or three girls that they're grifting.

Secondly, I am well aware of the stereotype that exists but if I and my close friends are any proof once you pass say age 17 that stereotype kind of dissolves. I've never had a 'problem' meeting women I'm just saying a lot more threw themselves at THE SAME guy before all he did was change his appearance.

My best friend is the reverse he always was the nerdish look and then about the time i cleaned up he got grimy and has been enjoying it ever since. Really all he did was grow his hair longer, get a bunch of tattoos and dress in black. Just an odd behavior that I've noticed over the years.

edit: I believe the arguments of that a 'nice guy' can be creepy are valid but that's not actually what I was going for I think I was far to specific in the types of people I was thinking of.

I have all of that except the parents bit so meeeeh. (They think I'm a drunk because ONE TIME ONLY, I turned up at her house early morning/late night and started loudly singing Queen songs. Humourless old codgers.)

This poll makes me feel like a minority.

The bad boy look can be extremely appealing, but in the end I want a nice guy who will respect me.
The former is completely optional, while the latter is a must. Having common interests is also important.

Sadly, the majority of men who hit on me are middle aged. :(

But you are a fuzzy little kitten... of course they all like you, despite the fact that you are clearly an evil genius.

Glad you clarified that with me. I'd like to see the source of your statistics/experience of course, out of interest.

Secondly, I am well aware of the stereotype that exists but if I and my close friends are any proof once you pass say age 17 that stereotype kind of dissolves. I've never had a 'problem' meeting women I'm just saying a lot more threw themselves at THE SAME guy before all he did was change his appearance.
I'm a 20 year old nerdy guy (in that I'm not stupid and have several interests which people would describe as nerdy), and the stereotype endures in many I hold dear. It's true that it's easier to be unique and cool when you're an adult than it is as a kid nerd. But I'd still argue that someone who was once more overtly "nerdy" in mindset and friends choice speaks and projects in a way women interpret as nerdy for a long time nonetheless.

And yes, that "same guy" phenomenon is interesting, but I think you'll find that it is simply a question of a group of girls socially noticing simultaneously how much more confident and interesting that one guy is than his peers. A change in his appearance could have sparked the conversations they've had, but I'll bet you anything that there's a personality difference at the heart of that kind of event.

I'm a dude, and i mean I can't get a girl for the life of me... I'm not akinny but not fat persay. I'm strong, fast. my face is symetrical and can easily support numerous styles of facial hair... I own a vintage car which i am currently restoring. and I'm a great cook.

just it seems that where i live the status quo is based on attractiveness of either being in the millitary or being rich as all hell... i don't own a new BMW and i don't wear a uniform for a living... so I get shafted on 9/10 social situations... my life isn't exciting enough...
I also tend to have strong opinions on political matters which tends to put some people off...
and I know my way around a computer which labels me as a nerd...

and trust me I wore the Bad Boy facade for a fair amount of time... and that did nothing to change that... at all...

so i guess it all depends where you live.
