Subject: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: SINSULL Date: 23 Dec 06 - 05:33 PM Just got a Christmas card from a friend. He included the latest pictures of his two sons. One is a happy-go-lucky and thoroughly lovable pre-hormonal cutie. The other is the disaffected, long haired, glaring and thoroughly sexy Bad Boy. Sigh - at fourteen I would have found him irrestible! Actually having a tough time right now. Tristan and Michael have grown up. And here comes adolescence. HA HA Better you than me! Spaw, they are beautiful! Love, SINS |

Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: Bill D Date: 23 Dec 06 - 06:17 PM The 'bad boys' get the same attention from girls as the cute little airhead blonds do from guys....perhaps they deserve each other. When I was a skinny, gawky teenager, I always resented the 'charismatic bastards' as I called them. I was always hearing how 'so & so' had treated some girl badly, and I never quite understood why the girls kept falling for them. Now, after 50 years of observing, I'm glad I was what I was. |
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: Little Hawk Date: 23 Dec 06 - 06:55 PM Girls fall for the Bad Boys because they like having a challenge. They enjoy the sense of risk. I hated those charismatic bastards too. Next time around I might try being one of them. ;-) |
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: Peace Date: 23 Dec 06 - 06:57 PM Same reason the boys fall for the Bad Girls. |
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: Little Hawk Date: 23 Dec 06 - 07:02 PM Hell of a good point there, Peace! ;-) |

Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: Cruiser Date: 23 Dec 06 - 07:50 PM Sex I had a nice, religious, faithful married woman tell me bad boys are "forbidden fruit" and that is the big draw. She was strongly drawn to "one", was very tempted, but would not cheat because of love and respect for her husband. Some women want to be "treated" like a bad girl by a bad boy, with dirty pillow talk and all, in the privacy of a bedroom while they want to be a Madonna outside of that privacy. |

Catspaw sent me pictures of his sons. Michael is in that "stage" and in his school picture he looks like the boy Dad never let me date. Tristan is handsome and gentle looking - not a bad catch either. Auntie SINS |
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: Peace Date: 23 Dec 06 - 10:43 PM I did. I figured that sooner or later it would go CLICK without me pointing it out. LOLOLOL |

Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: kendall Date: 24 Dec 06 - 08:49 AM I scored "1" on the test. It's been my experience that mature women are attracted to the opposite type of male. |
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: 3refs Date: 24 Dec 06 - 08:55 AM Why was I a bad boy? Later one this one too!!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: Sorcha Date: 24 Dec 06 - 09:55 AM So, like, could we ALL see a pic of this grown up Bad Boy???? |
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: jaze Date: 24 Dec 06 - 09:58 AM I think Colin Farrell is a grown up example. |
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: SINSULL Date: 24 Dec 06 - 10:01 AM I will try to scan both pictures and give the ladies a taste. I scored 0 on the test. But they are wrong. I would not go through boiling oil to vote for Hillary. How did this turn into a political thread? |
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: Cruiser Date: 24 Dec 06 - 10:15 AM I scored a 0. If there was a negative 10 to the 6th power that would be a better indication of my dislike for Bush. Thinking of another great BUSH: How about someone starting a thread about Bad Girls (hint Dipwallow!) |
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: wysiwyg Date: 24 Dec 06 - 10:28 AM Why are the Bad Boys so irresistable? Because little girls are still so conditioned to be "good" little girls, and when they get old enough, they rebel? Because women are taught we can love someone "enough" to make them better? ~Susan |

Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: Skivee Date: 24 Dec 06 - 10:39 AM Sinsull...just to give you some well deserved peace of mind: I'm glad to hear that Spaw's kids are growing up with varying degrees of baditude and cutelism. Any luck with scanning the photos? |
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: SINSULL Date: 24 Dec 06 - 11:05 AM Not yet, Skivee. I can scan and create a jpg but can't link it to the thread. I have pictures of the boys since the age of nine (they were nine, not me). This year they are both young men. Amazing how fast it happens. I also have cartoon characters created by Michael. Wonder if he is keeping up his artwork? Hope Spaw checks in soon. I would also like an update on Cletus, Paw and the Reg Boys, the ultimate Bad Boys to whom I am not attracted. |
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: Cluin Date: 24 Dec 06 - 12:19 PM We all read it, Sinsull. So what? We haven't seen the picture you're talking about so we have no comment on it. We're commenting on the question asked in your thread title. Sorry if that sours your pee. |
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: Tweed Date: 24 Dec 06 - 04:12 PM Yaz Sinz, I enjoy the television show "Cops" and it's farly irdesistable as is the top ten hit "Bad Boys" theme song, as I find myself dancing about whenever it comes on and no it's time for the program to startup. I hed no idea that it wabz a folk type song and evidencely has been around for some time priory to the advention obv the TV. I hope Spaw will let us know when the episode whar his house is raided come on and hopefully the censors will blurr-out his underwear if they drag him outta the house late at nite. |
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: SINSULL Date: 24 Dec 06 - 07:47 PM That's Spaw in his shorts and boxers with a gun |
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: Alice Date: 24 Dec 06 - 07:53 PM I think it is the "challenge" of getting someone bad to love you. It's a common mistake made in youth and people usually learn the lesson about it as they get older. Men are challenged by rescuing problematic women and women are challenged by rescuing (or catching) problematic men. It is a recipe for disaster, but most often it takes experience to learn that lesson. |
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: MAG Date: 24 Dec 06 - 08:13 PM Because literature and pop culture are full of the sweet maid getting the outlaw in the end. Ain't true; never was. And when you're 14, arrogant is for some godawful reason sexy. And then there are the Don Juans who are good in bed. It's amazing how long a woman will hang around in spite of herself. I assume thr reverse is also true. |
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: Bernard Date: 24 Dec 06 - 08:53 PM 'Bad Boys' trigger attraction in women and girls, because subconsciously they see them as 'Alpha Males' - the ideal mate for procreation. Men who understand (either consciously or subconsciously) how to work that are succesful with women, those of us who haven't a clue have no success at all... Ho hum. |
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: Cruiser Date: 24 Dec 06 - 09:20 PM Bernard, you are correct from a biological standpoint. The troubling aspect is women have evolved the ability to know, understand, and reason what they are up against, but remain "weak" to the allure. Hey, if women want to remain second-class to men forever, then those "bad boys" will always have women under their thumb, so to speak. That is one reason why domestic violence is so prevalent. We have all seen many intelligent women succumb to primal sexual urges at the expense of family, friends, and self-respect. It angers me so many women are still so weak and accept subservience in this modern world when it could be their "oyster". I expect a barrage of negative comments from what I stated. |
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: Alice Date: 24 Dec 06 - 10:12 PM I think you are right. Added to primal urges are the patterns of childhood, if rejected by brothers or father, a girl wants to get love and acceptance from the most challenging guys. Trying to win over and prove we are lovable is re-enacting the situation of childhood where we were rejected in our family. |
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: Cruiser Date: 24 Dec 06 - 10:21 PM Alice, That was a refreshing reply. I am sure you understand what I am saying, evidenced by your 2 posts, much more than I do. Thank you. |
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: GUEST,punkfolkrocker Date: 25 Dec 06 - 12:09 AM bad boys are only as bad as 'good' girls secretly fantasize about being naughtiest an dirtiest for them.. i'm a happily married middle aged good boy.. but because i am rare limited edition fit and strong & athletic for my age.. i always need to beware of good [secret naughty dirty middle aged women] transfering their XXX fantasies on me ..!!!?? i'm being serious.. not boasting.. the wife says she thinks its funny and perversly flattering for her.. i'm just a bloke... i prefere being promiscuous with new guitars to strange neurotic women at my age.. |
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: Scoville Date: 25 Dec 06 - 12:49 AM I scored a 0. But I also think Colin Farrell is unspeakably skanky, if that adjective can be applied to men. "Hey, if women want to remain second-class to men forever, then those "bad boys" will always have women under their thumb, so to speak. That is one reason why domestic violence is so prevalent." That's pretty simplistic. I hate to, uh, succumb to your expectations of barrage-ment, but women are second-class to men because for centuries they have been discouraged and opposed in finance and education. Even battered women who want to leave very often do not because they do not think they can survive financially without their husbands. Women who do not grow up in supportive households are less likely to have the education and job skills to support themselves, and controlling men use this to keep them in check. Some educated women do stupid things when hormones kick in. Many uneducated women do not. I'm somewhere in the middle and I've certainly never fallen all over myself for some guy. Not that I don't like men. I don't even dislike "bad boys", although I go more for an unconventional streak than outright "badness". If that means he has tattoos that don't show when he's in office clothes and drives a rat rod on weekends, fine. |
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: GUEST Date: 25 Dec 06 - 01:32 AM The need to get fucked is a drive on both sides of the fence. Don't be so quick to attribute it to hormones. That is like denying that you have any control over it. This thread has degenerated into street corner psychology, and people put their spin on it to suit their own purpose. It gets old really fast. As do people. |
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: GUEST,Mr Red Date: 25 Dec 06 - 03:40 AM As a teenager I was pretty shy and didn't come into my own until at least 10 years later.

Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: Divis Sweeney Date: 25 Dec 06 - 05:22 AM I never knew any bad boys. |
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: catspaw49 Date: 25 Dec 06 - 10:00 AM LOL.....I haven't enjoyed a thread going off like this one since Rick was around. Rick could creatively name a thread then explain it in his post and then watch it go off somewhere with his mouth hanging open! The only thing I will say at this point is "Thank You" Sins.....on several different levels. Michael had such a great day yesterday and every day is getting better.......smiled and laughed, joined in, played games, made a few jokes, talked trash with his older cousins on their level and held his own.........fun day. Dad and Mom have ceased to be the enemy but he has retained a bit of the flavor from this last period and we'll see how he takes it into the next. Sins, if you can figure how to get someone to read the post and every post after that before they post themselves, let me know..........seem to be getting worse but it's always been a pet peeve. Beware the creative and catchy thread title as you would the Jabberwock. Spaw..........goes off chuckling |
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: SINSULL Date: 25 Dec 06 - 10:16 AM I have given up, Spaw. It's really not important anyway. How bad can it be to remind someone of Rick? I have been musing over all the Bad Boys I have known. It is always fun to watch women react to them. Pheremones, maybe? |
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: Cruiser Date: 25 Dec 06 - 10:28 AM That would be pheromones. Sinsull opened the door with her title. I read the original post and I try to read all posts before I post. This is simply a spin-off of the initial post. If the thread can get Spaw and others to chuckle then it is worth the effort. The subject is an interesting one anyway. Sinsull just perpetuated the discussion with her last post. This is a good thread regardless of the initial intent. It actually serves several purposes while many threads serve no purpose. Hey, Sinsull are you a real blood-related Auntie? |
Subject: RE: BS: Why are the Bad Boys so irresitible? From: Alice Date: 25 Dec 06 - 10:41 AM It annoys me that people want to put straightjackets on threads. In real life, discussions range widely and subjects wander and that is a GOOD thing. |
