Confidence, risk taking, and ambition? Sounds more like an entrepreneur than a bad boy.Stagger Lee said:The attraction to a guy labeled a bad boy comes from the implied confidence that comes with it. It's associated with risk taking behavior and ambition
One trait I definitely do not associate with bad boys is ambition. More like lack of ambition. I picture bad boys as the sort of guys who are mainly interested in their immediate pleasure - not long range planning types.
You're describing a milquetoast wimp.Stagger Lee said:Being nice requires no effort, no stepping out of your comfort zone, no risk and no challenge. This doesn't just apply to attracting women, it shapes your whole life.
I have people under my authority, but I treat them with respect. If they don't perform adequately, I will call them on it, but I don't consider that being an @sshole - I consider it doing my job. In other words, being a responsible adult male.Stagger Lee said:Certain jobs almost require you to be an a--hole to qualify (GC Foreman).
Notice the word "boy" in "bad boy". Even that implies the guy is not a real man yet. He's a juvenile, he hasn't grown up. I am not one to believe women want boys when they can have a man. Nice guys, bad boys, blah blah blah. Where does the Real Man fall in this equation?
