WHY GIRLS FALL FOR BAD BOYS?

We all heard the saying that “Good girls fall for the Bad boys”. Can we, Russian women, find an explanation to this paradox? If you have your own opinion you can share it with all Russian Women Abroad!  Meanwhile, read what Ann Landers, an American journalist, has to say on this topic:

I have printed many letters in the past about women who are attracted to the wrong kind of guy. I have also printed letters from men who say they are "nice guys," but women seem to want "bad boys." I have finally figured out why women marry these bad boys, and I hope you will share my observations with your readers:

1. Bad boys are exciting. Of course, after you marry them, the excitement wears thin when you discover these men have affairs, abuse you physically or verbally, can't keep a job, are lazy and ignore the children. This is not the kind of "excitement" any woman should have to put up with.

2. Women are taught to be "good," so dating these bad boys is a form of rebellion. It's the age-old "forbidden fruit" story.

3. Women are as much into good looks as men. They will go after the hunky guy even if he's a bad boy, figuring they will change him. It never works.

4. Women tend to marry men like their fathers.

5. Divorced women tend to marry the same type of guy they married the first time - unless they get counseling. If they are attracted to "bad boys," they will keep marrying bad boys, and then complain that all men are rotten."

Women know when they are marrying a bad boy. They expect him to magically mature after marriage, but he rarely does. If any of your readers recognize themselves in this list, perhaps they should figure out how to change themselves instead of trying to change their man.
