Why women love bad boys
Laura Schafer

Many women love to walk on the wild side, even if it means risking a broken heart by dating a bad boy. It's dangerous, exciting, and interesting. While some women date these rebels for a change of pace, most of them are intrigued by the tough exterior - it's a challenge. So what can a nice guy do to measure up and create some excitement in his relationship? Here are five ways to incorporate a little bad boy into the dating game:


1. Women like the chase too
If, in the beginning, you call all the time and bury us in flowers,
we're going to think it's too much too fast. Bad boys know that a healthy distance makes the prize more valuable. We can't pin down a bad boy, which makes us want him even more. The key for a guy is not to be rude or appear that you don't care. You want a happy woman, not a head case with an abandonment complex... right?

2. Women want a tough, confident guy
When push comes to shove, many women will admit that they'd choose Russell Crowe over Tom Hanks. It's not the brawn or bourbon drinking that's the draw, but the supreme self-confidence. A bad boy doesn't doubt his sex appeal (or even stop to consider it), and that makes him sexy. This kind tough confidence, though, is most enduring when we eventually get
to break through it to reveal a man's true soft side... but not on a first date!

3. Women want a man who plays by his own rules
We like a guy who sees the world and tries to change it, either by running the company instead of working for it, confronting a problem instead of whining about it, or creating something instead of criticizing others. Men who have strong convictions don't always fit into the stereotypical molds. The successful bad boy is bold, takes risks, and isn't afraid of failure.

4. Women want to be surprised
You never know what a bad boy has up his sleeve. A midnight
motorcycle ride? A skinny-dip in the neighbor's pool? You get the idea - bad boys live for the moment. They might not have a retirement fund or health insurance, but they do have a sense of adventure. So keep your IRA and insurance plans, but add some spontaneous zest to your dating game.

5. Women want to be seduced
A dark, jazz-filled bar, a real drink (martinis not pina coladas),
and a sultry slow dance are what bad-boy dates are made of. He'll lean in, touch us, and make long, slow eye contact. The bad boy makes his date feel like a goddess - the only girl in the room. He might bestow this kind of attention only once or twice before he moves on to the next conquest, but there's nothing better than a bad boy who sticks around... even if he was only pretending to be bad.
