This morning I did my regular KayaFM interview with Pat Cash and Ed Jordan. The question for me as resident dating expert was why do women keep falling for bad boys. Before I even consider the answer to that it’s important to define what a bad boy is…

David DeAngelo, author of Double Your Dating, described the “Bad Boy” as a dominant lover. And more specifically a man who’s dangerous and thrilling to be around. And of course we know that bad boys can be dangerous. They tend to be heavy drinkers or driving a motorbike or sometimes both. In Hollywood the most famous bad boys include actors like Jack Nicholson, Mickey Rourke and the now deceased Marlon Brando, who must have been the ultimate bad boy in his early days. And when you consider a relationship like Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston, who now finally divorced, you see how blind women can because of the emotional high they derive from being involved with a bad boy.

In the book Bad Boys by Carole Lieberman you can find out much more details about why women like bad boys. My own stance is that we are all addicted to our emotions. And a nice guy does not stir any emotions in women. So therefore the excitement and the unpredictability of being around a bad boy is the ultimate emotional rush.
