Luckily I've discovered recently that underneath every good boy there is a bad boy lurking, and all it takes is the right girl to find it. There is nothing like having a loving and trusting relationship with a little danger thrown in for good measure!
I was going to say something like this before you did! I, unfortunately, often have had the problem of falling for guys who need to be 'saved" in some way, which is another reason women go for those types - they're oh-so-tragic and OMG I can CHANGE HEEEM!
Uh, no.
But I've found more and more as I get older that what I like is not a guy who's "bad" or "troubled," but a guy who is *truly* confident and strong within himself. Weeding those guys out from the ones who are truly just cocky assholes can be difficult, but it gets easier.
I think the reason women don't go for "nice" guys as much is because they seem weak, or like they have no self-esteem. It's a tricky balance, this being yourself business; the most attractive thing in the world is a guy who is unapologetically who he is, *and* doesn't play games. (Well, except the fun kind...)
