 OFFLINE | Ok, I'll offer some brutal honesty here. My prior comments were (probably obviously) sarcasm. I don't personally find anything thrilling, exciting, or exceptional with these stereotypes colloquially known as bad-boy and bad-girl personalities. At best, they're facades covering great depths of fear, insecurity, and pain that I personally have no intimate interpersonal interest in. However, being friends with (might) be doable, but that's it.
But I do, however, greatly appreciate knowing whether or not this particular attraction exists within a potential partner because it immediately brings forth my incompatibility with her. I won't go so far as to say such an attraction is 'bad,' but it's certainly grounds of a great deal of disinterest. And with this expression, on the flip side of things here, that nice guys always finish last; if I actually do understand what's meant by "nice guy", they don't finish last, per se, because they're not even competing to begin with. But if a "Nice Guy" is more or less and emotional push-over, then I can't imagine what's really all that 'nice' about him.
But as I said previously, which I genuinely meant, I do find bad-boy & bad girl personalities sometimes entertaining. Back into the idea of whomever finishes first, watching two bad-boys competing for one woman really is very entertaining, but in the end, all three typically lose. Or possibly 4, 5, or 6 depending on whether or not they have kids prior to or after divorce. But it has been my experience that bad-boys and bad-girls require a great deal of drama and dysfunction simply just to feel alive and in the moment, but that's one part if it all that I don't feel the least bit entertained by. |
