3. It’s hormonal
When women are unexplainably attracted to bad boys, their hormones should share part of the blame for that.
A study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology back in 2012 says that in the week of ovulation, women “delude themselves into thinking that the sexy bad boys will become devoted partners and better dads.”
Researcher Kristina Durante of The University of Texas at San Antonio says “when looking at the sexy cad through ovulation goggles, Mr. Wrong looked exactly like Mr. Right.”
4. Attraction to bad boys is fleeting
What should be added, however, is that although bad boys are hypnotizing and charming and spellbindingly attractive and fun for women, it’s usually a phase.
The appeal of bad boys eventually wear out, especially when women are over their hoe phase and are willing for something more stable, more meaningful.
Bad boys find it relatively easy to begin new relationships by charming their way in, but they often find it difficult to maintain their mesmerizing first impression.
