I definitely agree. I had a friend that was into the bad boy image and she eventually ended up having to go to a woman's shelter. I did too but my case wasn't bad like hers. I use to only go out with this guy because I had issues along with substance abuse and insecurity. I mean he was the one that asked me out and I was like OMG, a guy likes me.
I've never been attracted to the bad boy image and felt wrong for it. When I use to bring that up with the particular friend I was talking about, all she'd tell me was, " There's something wrong with you, he's hot." I think she even thought I was gay, imagine that, me not attracted to the "macho guy." I think I've learned a lot from my mistakes of trying to fit in the "what we consider normal world." Just made me more miserable, that and aspies I didn't know about.
BTW, is it just me or is that, "that's so gay" starting to sound old or like a broken record. Does to me, besides it being homophobic which some ppl are, it's getting corny as hell. So's the word fa***t but I don't know, maybe it's a guy thing or ppl thing. It's just getting old to me.
The question wasnt why women fall for 'bad boys' and macho thugs as opposed to romantic 'nice guys' MissConstrue, its why its considered unmasculine for a guy to want a romantic relationship and not just sex.
I was agreeing with someone else on this forum and was sharing an experience. I don't think I said I was into thugs except from one experience. Sorry I wasted your time on this thread.
