Gone are the days when the clean-cut, decent and most polite men dominate the dating game. In the past, and more so today, women are almost always thrilled to be hanging out (read: dating) with the not-so-ordinary and gutsy men, who will more likely break the rules and the norms just to be always in control.

For quite some time, psychologists, researchers and sociologists have been closely studying the phenomenal appeal of ‘bad boys’ to women. Many parents are worried that their daughters will soon fall to such men, who are so tough, yet to charismatic to women despite their roughness. The Pamela Andersons and the Paris Hiltons logically and obviously will always fall for bad boys than for the Bill Gates and the Pope Benedicts. Where could such attraction come from? Why are bad boys, despite having fewer likely characters as nice guys, harder to resist?

Bad boys seem to have distinct personality that naturally lures more women. The rough spirit, the edge and the sarcasm oozing in such men seem to make wonders. Here are several observable factors that are believed to make the bad boy image click, especially when men hit on women.

There is Something About the Look

Many women assert that there is definitely something alluring about unshaven moustache, uncombed hair, rugged clothing and tough stance. The look of a bad boy surely sets the mood. Looking certainly less than crisp could most of the time work to any man’s advantage. The visual impression is so powerful, that bad boys are almost always getting the edge. Bad boys look wild, uncaring, playful and relentless. Amazingly, numerous women fantasize such men.

You do not need to feel and look like an alpha male to get that rugged, bad boy look. Just exude the right confidence and look as if you are unafraid of anything. Being a little playful on the look could also be effective. The traditional cowboy look is always a hit. A good leather jacket will surely be an effective accessory, giving the impression as if you jumped out of an action flick. Ladies out there almost always find leather in men sexy.

Bad boys’ Ways and Attitudes Impress

If you have been nice and wholesome all your life, it may be the best time you be something else. Adopt the ‘devil-may-care’ attitude so you could effectively exude intensity and at the same time coziness. Strive to talk to a woman on the basis that she interests you. How could you do that? Throw insights right to her soul, instead of focusing on small and insignificant talks.

Women almost always fall for bad boys who hint of danger, not necessarily in a fatal way, but more on being uncaring about potential consequences of rudeness and roughness of manners. When talking to a lady (and seducing her), look right to her eyes, without winking. Do not be the first to look away first, unless a segment of a conversation is through. When into conversations, always go straight to the point.

Bad boys Have a Unique Rebel Appeal

Rebels are known to be free-spirited, doing anything they like. Many women like their men independent, uncaring about others’ opinions and dominant. Rebels care less about time. They will always splurge in fun no matter what rules they break. Most importantly, women feel the rebellious character makes bad boys very real. Such men are perceived to take their own destiny, to defy the convention and to act in a way befitting his path. That defines sexiness to many.

Bad boys Hardly Get Intimidated

Many women, especially those with strong personalities, know how to intimidate men. Bad boys are different because they do not seem to get intimidated at all by any woman. Bad boys are almost always able to carry themselves well especially when women get annoying, inquisitive, interrogative and threatening. You should be the bad boy who does not succumb to fear, especially the type brought about or hurled by a prospective bedmate.

Be as Mysterious as You Could Be

Bad boys are mysterious in many ways. A good seduction strategy is to keep her guessing. When conversing with a prospect, do not give away important details about yourself so easily. Women like to play games. They will be thrilled to take strategies in unveiling what they are interested to know. In the conventional world, men are born to talk less and women to talk more. If you could only remember that, for sure you will not have a hard time keeping women’s interest in you. Intrigue her, thrill her.

Use Extraordinary Sense of Attraction

Funny, but did you know that in some cultures, many men are already doing odd things just to be bad boys? In some nations in Europe, many men do not bathe for a few days to attract women. In Japan, some men spend hours to make their hair appear disheveled. Have you ever wondered why rock stars almost always succeed in making many women scream in admiration? It could be the animalistic appeal.
