      The bad boy just has that charisma. Dag, why can the bad boy be good?

      what do you do when you want to keep the Right Boy and he wants to slow things down?
      • Mrs. V 3 months ago
        You immediately go shopping for a better right boy cause he just told you that you are not the one for him. Hear him. Let it go. Go forth and find love that fits!

        Thanks,I have gotten to this point over the past few days and I'm ready to move on. I guess I felt like I needed give him time because it was only five months in but if we are already on two different pages now, then where could we end up a year or more from now.

      I'm a good girl. I finally found out how to find the right guy. Learn what I really need. Figure out what it is that I'm lacking and look for that in a man. That is just a start. Being honest about my feeling from the start about what I want from a relationship and what I will not stand for. That way I can save time if he is not the right one for me.

        But being too honest from the start can scare away the good ones. Sometimes it's a bit overwhelming for a guy to hear what you want in a man all at once.

      I love my boring, stable, smart boyfriend. I hate bad boys, never met one that was sharper than a bag of wet hair.
    • Sylvia  •  3 months ago
      I think we date bad boys because we try to keep hope alive that we'll be the one to change him. But that's bull. It's a phase that sometimes last to long until we as women learn our worth.

      I usually get dumped for men with better automobiles....Heck ive owneg a grand-am-dumped, grand prix-dumped, intrepid- dumped, mustang- they stayed longer,expedition- stayed even longer, c-class benz-u know the answer

        DDP...

        Let me tell you, I've been around the block a few times (as Niecy says), and I have checked out dating sites. I have to laugh at how many men take their pictures in front of their cars. And I laugh, who cares???? You see, if you "catch" a woman who would leave for a better/bigger car - then it was the car that got her in the first place...and you are SECOND to that. You have to ask yourself..do you want to be loved/wanted for the car? or for YOU? Maybe, just maybe, you are looking at women who don't share your priorities. (In my mom's age they called them gold-diggers. My grandmother would have called them floosies. You can just call them - the wrong type of woman for YOU!)

      I am a good boy with a home free and clear but I have been dumped twice for bad boys that there only attibute is they can crush an aluminm beer can with one hand.
    • Sickofitall  •  4 months ago
      because they don't think they deserve the good ones and they are not very mature.

      I really need some advise from someone I don't know. So, about three weeks ago, I agreed to perform in a sketch performance with a friend. The sketch called for a male who would be willing to do a Chippendale's type performance on stage. Before we got on stage the actor needed some panties from one of the three ladies performing. Since the other ladies are large, I had to take mine off and go commando. The actor I have known for about five years, but it has been more of a friend of a friend kind of a thing. I had once seen him at a distance at a party, but mostly knew of him through our circle of friends. This man is very, very attractive, but that's about it for me. He is known in our city as a local Billy Bob Thorton/Matthew Mccounaughey(only from Dazed and Confused). In fact, there is a documentary about him that did the film circuit for independent films in 2010. This is how he is described in IMBD " A renaissance man from the Austin underground, infamously sex-addicted NAME publishes a magazine and fronts bands, abuses cocaine while dealing weed, and writes and lives his own hilarious brand of humor as this father, felon and man-about-town must finally grow up when a crisis befalls his estranged family.The trailers for the film are disgusting. Just disgusting. The only endearing quality this man has is his incredible ability to write and his love for guinea pigs.Recently, I found out he wanted to take me out. In fact, I found out he has wanted to for years and I apparently was clueless. I have been on two dates with him now and I cannot convince that it will not work out. I am the anti-thesis of the type of woman he is accustomed to. I cannot figure out for the life of me why he would be interested in me. On the outside, I'm a jeans/sweat pants t-shirt kind of girl. I am not a "sexy" person because I'm just to clumsy. I am a goofy type of person. That is not to say I can't be sexy and dress to the nines, but it's not a daily thing for me. Also, I don't drink and don't do drugs. I do smoke cigs. I am a very introspective person who loves the arts and writing and tend to friend people that are off the wall types. I'm from Austin, so if you are familiar with the Keep Austin Weird type, you will know.The two dates I have been on with him have resulted in me doing most of the talking. I hate that set up. I am most comfortable when there is a balanced level of reciprocity in conversations. I have tried numerous times to discourage him, but it's not working. I don't want to insult him, but on a personal level and in terms of my intellectually snobby family, it just won't work. My family will eat him alive. I don't want that for him. He has made some changes in his life like working for an attorney, wearing suits 5 days a week, but that's it. I tried asking him why he never has questions for me. He never has any conversation. How can someone say they like someone and have no questions. I asked him, "don't you want to get to know me." I do not want to be liked or to like someone just on face value. Am I going crazy?Please help me find a way to politely get out of this without coming off as a pompous, arrogant #$%$Confused.

      I thnk some girls/lades want "Bad Boys" because they have either low self esteem, hidden fears, internal pain or lack the confidence in themselves to have someone decent. I'm a "Good Boy," with an excellent job, education, warm demeanor and above average looks. However, in the past I have been snubbed by a few of these confused women. Thus, when I learn that their desire is for the "Bad Boys" type, I discontinue my persuit and move on. There have been times I would meet up with one of these ladies (later in life). They have been dogged out, left with several children( to raise on their own) and no promising future. Then, guess what, they want ME to be interested....NO THANKS, TOO LATE!

        Honestly,I think women want bad boys for sex and nothing else, cause at the end of the day they want a man to take charge and be loving and caring thats it for me any ways. Its a nice phase but honestly I'd rather have someone love me and respect me than someone whose a good lay, and will break my heart.

      • G 6 months ago
        Amen Raymond....I been in that very same boat. I been snubbed by females for that very same reason too. They want a Bad Boy and my thing is go ahead and someway somehow they want to come back after they realize they got dog out, cheated on, the bad boys have bad credit, no car, no job, kids and not paying child support....I mean good sex only goes so far!!!

    • Mr.Davis  •  6 months ago
      That is what i am talking about. That was a great piece. As a woman you don't have to settle for less when you know you have higher morals and values than what you get from so-called bad boys. just as Niecy said, if you have to check behind someone then you have to move on. If you don't trust a person or have issues with how things are going in the relationship then thats another flag. Women have to stop looking at a guys (SWAG) and listening to his gift of gab. If he does not have an honest job or cannot discuss where he works, then another flag. Finally the real (bad boys) are the ones who actually have these qualities and treat you like the queen God made you to be.
    • Ann  •  6 months ago
      Niecy, I am so proud of you as a women and host!!! There are so many non-reality show's that are really harming the mentality of so many women. Women and/or families willing to sell there's souls for ratings. And after the limelite has dimmed what is left? Money doesnt solve lif'e's issues. And the media and papparrazi can sometime send one way over the edge. Women should know and believe you should not define oneself by the company or man you keep. Wear your curves, lip and hips and edcation with pride and never let anyone man or women tell you anything less. You are worthy. Our anthem should always be FREE TO BE ME !!

      I have been married going on 5 long miserable yrs. When we first married I was like yeah we can or going to build lots of things together. But each yrs he has taken away emotions, and feelings now it seems to be me each day he becomes a distant memory of what I felt 5yrs ago
