Good Man vs The Bad Boy

Last night I was thinking about relationships. Not just mine, but different relationships of people that I know and some that I don't know all that well. I read something that a friend of mine wrote about how she is attracted to the bad boys. Most of the women that I know are as well, myself included. The bad boy represents excitement and carries a certain element of danger. As women we always say that we are looking for a "good man". Often we pass him by because we are chasing behind the bad boy. He's only interested on his terms, he's often in another relationship, and great in bed. However, outside of the bedroom you really can't understand what it is you see in him. But yet we find ourselves slightly addicted to him and often find ourselves wondering how did we get into this situation. I thought for countless hours on what is it about these men that attract women. Or is it that the "good man" is doing something to make himself seem less attractive? It really can't be the flowers that he sends you, or the way he holds you as if his life depends on it, and who wouldn't love thoughtful text messages throughout the day just to let you know that you are on his mind. So what is it? My own personal opinion is the weight of knowing that man has put you on a high pedestal is a heavy load to bear. You don't want to disappoint him or let him down in any way. With the bad boy you can just be you, no false pretenses. Although the bad boy can touch, tease, feel, and caress; he can't love you as you should be loved. So what do you do? Go with someone who will make you his everything or follow the guy who is simply your nothing. Although I wrote this with women in mind, I am dying to know what men think about this.
