What is the seemingly fascination with Bad Girls about? Men seemed attracted to them to the point that they are blinded to the better quality of Good Girls. And why marry a good girl if down deep you lust for a bad girl?

And how's a girl supposed to be both?

Sometimes I feel that I bore my husband. Sure he came back to me, but I think that's because I'm a pretty good "mother" to him, and he knows he can trust me. And for the record, I thought I was marrying a good ol boy. Hmm, guess at age 19 you don't always know everything you think you do. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Jamup,
You have more going for you than you think. There are a lot of guys who would love to have a good girl as their wife that turns into the bad girl in the bedroom. I have a good girl wife that had an affair with a bad boy. The bad girls and guys are fun to play with but not to live with and raise a family. It works both ways. I will take the good girl any day. My good girl is in therapy at the moment. I want her back the way she was before the affair. We are working to get our marriage back in shape. Good luck to you

I have no insight other than to say my H is currently involved in an A with a woman (bad girl) who is my complete polar opposite. She is, as someone in another post suggested, something you might see on a "girls gone wild" video (I would add...and then some!).

I am not a prude, but I could be considered a "good girl". I wasn't all my life, but when I became a Christian in my early 20's things changed.

I don't understand the fascination. The thrill maybe? Boredom? It is still extremely hard for me to understand what they could see in that type of relationship long term. In my eyes, there could be no trust, no belief of commitment, no anything.

But I'm still watching and waiting...

Well that's a two edged sword you are waving.

Seems "good guys" face much of the same problem as well.

I think "good" equates with comfortable but boring while "bad" equates with interesting yet forbidden.

Some can't seem to resist the bad apple. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Okay, just for the record, I am still praying daily that my H comes to his senses and comes back, because I do love him. He could be considered a 'bad boy'. And yes, some of that makes him fun. It's also made him hard to live with and hard to trust.

If I were 20 and had it to do all over again, I would take a "nice guy" ANY DAY!

Peeps like the FORBIDDEN FRUIT - been doing it since the Garden of Eden...
Before you want a 'bad' person, think about what kind of life THEY lead. What kind of family do they come from? You can pretty much assume that whatever kind of family they are from they usually repeat the experience!
Is having some 'fun' with a 'bad' person really worth the MISERY and PAIN it causes? I think not.
Give me a good girl any day!!! Thank God I have one now!

*an afterthought: you can be as BAAAAAD in the bedroom as you wanna be if you're a 'good' girl!*

lordslady,

A bad girl is just for fun & not to bring home as a wife ... Good girl is. Same as for bad boy. Knowing the diff. and follow your head are the key.

Reminds me of that old Eagles song "One of these nights"

I've been searching for the daughter of the devil himself, I've been searching for an angel in white. I can feel her but she's nowhere insight.

We men are contradictions. We want you to tell us how good we are but then expect you to say you've never been with anyone else.

Well, just how is a good girl supposed to know how to be bad and when to be bad? (Bedroom or not??)
