It is true, women like bad boys and often bite off more than they can chew.
Most women with half a brain only like bad boys for fun!

They don't take them seriously, or at least they shouldn't.
I think you're thinking about girls, not women. When I was a teenager, sure, I liked bad boys, but that's because I was young. Most women grow up, and so do some "bad boys." I've seen it happen.
I "rescued" my wife from a "bad boy" this guy was a jerk off. was in shopping one day and he was just in there slapping the shit out of her, right in the middle of the store . I'm talking had her on the ground backhanding her like they were in some old 50s movie.
I don't take kindly to that towards any woman. I pulled him off her, gave her the keys to my truck and told her I'd be out in 5 minutes to take her wherever she needed to go to get away from him.
It actually took me 4 minutes to take care of business, then she came back to my place and has been there since.
