July 9 So we like those bad boys

It's classic.  Women want--need--to tame the beast, and prove that the power of love conquers all. (Maybe a few womanly wiles in the bargain don't hurt, either.) We want a man who isn't afraid to take chances, maybe he's even a bit of a rebel. He's got to be just bad enough to be a man, otherwise, he's dull as dishwater.

So, what does that mean in real life?

    You want a man who wants to do all he can to be your everthing, who wants to fight for you who wants to make sure your happy and he is happy, but in real life there are some that will do what it takes to love you uncondtionally then there are those who will live you for awhile to turn around years later and walk out for another woman or if it is a woman she walks out for another man bc there are women and men that do it

    I think having the same morals/values is imperative to a relationship. I like impulsiveness and playing a little hard to get even though we are married! Somehow, feeling that something is taboo can make your want it more! In real life, if you want a marriage to last, there has to be some balance. I am the impulvise, fly by my pants person. My husband is not. Cindi

      That must make for a lot of surprises. (Good ones, I'm betting.) I like surprises. I think knowing another person is good, but not always being sure what they're thinking is good too. We need to stay interested in each other. (A teddy and candlelight no and again goes a long ways toward achieving that goal.)

    It means we make silly choices, marry the adolescent...(then complain because he hasn't grown up)...and love them to pieces...no matter what.

    If women did not love these bad boys...life would not go on...

    ADELANTE!!!

    Hmm, I'm not so sure it's a need to prove love conquers all so much as lizard brain biological imperative. Who's the strongest warrior/caveman who's going to father strong children and protect their survival? Might be why the old Medieval bodice rippers were so popular.

    What does that mean in real life? Well usually it leads to more trouble than you know what to do with and heartache! There are the exceptions, but not usually. But who can resist a bad boy? I never could! :O)

    Well today I'm grouchy so my answer isn't the best, I think sometimes it could mean we are setting ourselves up for unrealistic expectations.

    I think it means that we don't want a pushover, but we want him to listen to what we tell him and do as we say.

    I think many women want a man who is strong yet also having integrity. We want someone who can be counted on to be there for us and yet can be spontaneous to make romantic gestures without prompting.

    I think it means that no matter what strengths we want to have acknowledged as women, we truly are romantics at heart and want to feel WANTED and that we are worth fighting for.

    Hi Tarah, I think it means that for me I want a man that is confident but not stuck on himself. A guy that can take care of business when things get tough. Also can be secure enough in his own skin that no other guy carn intimadate him.
