Can you rephrase that, your questions are a bit jumbled.
Bad boy stuff - yes it is confusing. However, in my experience only idiots and psychos do that bad boys are attractive stuff.
Haa, I get it,do you mean the girls have low self esteem, who are thus attracted?
Yes, that can be it, being with criminals because you hate yourself, feel unworthy.
Also, being very dumb, immature, thinking the guy on the motorbike is cool, until he is in a wheelchair with no legs.
Do you see any bad boys getting the girl on dating shows? Nope.
(exception was the slimey guy Bach no.2 I think, bald creepy guy - Sam was dumped by him I think, they picked a BAD MAN)
Maybe some females looking for masculine types get confused with badness too???
