Science hasn't 'proved' that women go for bad boys | Girl On The Net

Some argue that the claim that 'women love bad boys' is scientifically proven. However, this isn't the case

"Women always go for the bad boys." "Nice guys finish last." "Treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen."

There are so many variations on the idea that women brush off advances from lovely men and instead deliberately chase guys who are tall, dark and horrible. If it's true, why is the crime rate not significantly higher, as straight guys compete with each other to look "badder" than their friends? In fact what do we mean by "bad" anyway? Are we talking bank robbers, or just your mate Clive who once dumped a girl via text?
