I like to protect my image, so you would not see me screwing around with some hood rat from Southside Chicago. However, most girls will because he is cool and potentially harm their future and privilege. Shouldn't they be more picky about this than guys?!
Women love badboys for many reasons, but one that I haven't yet seen mentioned in this thread is the danger factor.
Womens' \|/s get wet by men that COULD hurt them but AREN'T. He COULD, he is just choosing not to at this time. That concept is a biggie, among many.
In regards to me/a man dating down, I have found that dating women below me in status takes extra discipline that I have now but didn't used to. At first it starts out fine, I have fun, the s3x is great, and I really don't even consider or care that she lives on the poor side of town. But in time her status will start to become a burden when she needs $5 for that, a ride here, help with this, helping helping her poor friend with that. You must stop it at day-1. Loan her $5 for gas, that's fine, but make her pay it back as agreed. Don't slip one time. If you do it will get out of control, $5 will become $50 which becomes $500. Then come 1000 excuses why she can't pay you back. Then comes you being a jerk for not proving for her like a man should. It isn't just money, it's also time. One ride 3 miles out of your way becomes driving her poor friend 300 miles to pick up a free couch. Once all of her poor friends find out that she is dating a man with a few extra dollars and a vehicle, better yet a truck, you're screwed if you allow yourself to be. From harsh experience I have found that dating a woman comparable status as me works the best, one who isn't too much below or isn't too much above. But if I was ever to date a 'poor' woman again, I now know what has to be done, and not done.
