Why She Loves The Thug In You

Hey people. I live in a really really socio-economically deprived area (big up catford south east london) where most of my cousins and friends are basically badboys(or as the title suggests - thugs). Now in these areas there is a certain code to live by, one component being this 'rude' or badboy' attitude to girls. I'm not going to lie, i followed suit - and wh...because its true. Girls love the bad in me. I went out with this girl for three months and the first went badly(i was being nice to her) but then I started returning to me and guess what..she liked me more than ever, and didn't want to break up.

Why is this abnormal thing so natural in all of you girls??

:confused:

ITS NOT NORMAL!

It's what the chav culture has brainwashed much of today's youth into. God help us all.

And stereotyping is what the English culture has been drumming into people like you. I am by far not a chav I can't think of any black chavs and if i found one i would be worried. But lets not get racial - i was merely commenting on one aspect of relationships so common it could possibly be deemed normal. And plus, what is normal is a normative statement any - no fact which is why i was taken aback by your sweeping remark.

Im sorry to be sterotyping, yes it has been drummed into me after having been sterotyped by other people for years.

As for racial, i didnt even think that came into this thing at all? :s-smilie:

I was mearly stating an answer to your question. you asked why is abnormal thing is so natural in all the girls, to which i replied it wasnt a normal thing and therefore not a natural thing.

It probably differs around the country. If it is "normal" to be a "badboy" in your area, maybe the local girls just like the "normal" blokes.
well sometimes opposites attract.
I'm a girl who's into badboys too...but not one who's rude to me though.

I don't know... I'm not attracted to "bad boys" or "thugs" per se... I like pretty boys that are mean to me :rolleyes:

Its cool man, its a vicious circle you know.

Very good point I think thats what it is..though I would change my opinion if girls from good areas like badboys from good areas..which is pretty conceivable.

I like pretty boys that are mean to me


Yeah but why!!!!!!!!! :smile:

Well what about boys who have lived in a bad area through most of their youth then moved to a good area. "You can take the kid out of the ghetto but can't take the ghetto out the kid" - the immortal words of Shakur.

i need to find me a nice bloke!


All girls say this, its just self-deception...you always come back us. My point is, there must be something about being some polite, neeky kid that does OTT things for girls e.g opening the door, that girls dont like. I'm just wondering what it is. If you can't word it, then it must be natural.

i know this sounds awful... but i kind of like a guy being in control a bit. i'm a rather outspoken, confident girl... so when i have a lad that really takes charge, its kinda sexy... that whole "throw you on the bed" mentality. but i need to find a guy who can do all that and still be nice to me and not mess me around!

Well they don't make guys like that anymore, and when they were available they sold out fast.

I'm what most people class as a 'nice guy' but I have never really had any trouble in relationships. Not sure what the magic formula is for attraction, as every woman is different. However, one thing that I find is nearly absolute, is that women want their partner to have a bit of backbone. I think this is where a lot of nice guys fall down.

Its alright for some, lol. I am also what people class as a "nice guy" as well and there has only been one girl that has been very interested in me and lets just say that she is off limits.
your exactly right as soon as you start being 'nice' to a girl she is put off it generalises in all walks of like I think. One suggestion is its because of our evolution;girls are naturally attracted to guys they perceive as the alpha male.

lol
it's the whole "treat em mean, keep em keen" thing - for me anyway, if someone is slightly offish with me/ignores me, i want them more - if they're always there, being nice, there's no challenge!

Oh of course they do. Everyone is making ridiculous generalisations here. I wouldn't be stupid enough to touch any of your silly little "bad boys" because they just haven't got a clue what they're doing and wouldn't be worth wasting my time on.

There are plenty of nice men out there. Some of them are taken, some aren't. And some girls go for guys who exaggerrate their masculinity, and some see through it and see how generally immature it is.
