Bad Boy/Girl, definition: Someone that the rest of the world thinks is a Bad Boy is just someone who could frankly care less what the rest of the world thinks of him.

Pursuant to the two previous posts linked, the following are random observations triggered by the comment: "You are sensitive. But you are not a Sensitive Guy. Sensitive Guys (TM) use their sensitivity to get you into bed, and it's all crap because they're going to do more whining than you in the morning anyway."

An incomplete list of Bad traits. Feel free to add your own. A Bad Boy/Girl:

  1. Doesn't worry about whether you'll respect her in the morning. If you don't now, she's aware of it and probably doesn't care. She respects herself. Your respect is icing on the cake.

  2. Doesn't cry, 'call me!' Bad Boys do the calling...or don't.

  3. Is emotionally independent. Your support is appreciated, but not critical. There will be no superglued body parts for a Bad Girl.

  4. Doesn't take shit.

  5. Never asks, "will he or won't he" but "what do I want and how do I get it?"

  6. Respects you enough to not treat you like a delicate flower that might be trampled, and expects the same.

  7. Plays games only with consenting partners who also know when it's a game. Corrollary: a Bad Girl will call you on games.

  8. Is sexually secure. Bad Boys can wear pink. Bad Girls can wear men's suits. Neither care what you assume.

  9. Isn't threatened by affection, but does it because he wants it, not because there's an audience or because it's expected.


Classic Bad Boy line, from Last Picture Show.

Bobby: You a virgin?
Jacy: I guess I am.
Bobby: Too bad.
Jacy: I don't wanna be, though.
Bobby: I don't blame ya. Come see me when you're not.

EDIT: --

From 'Surrendered Single', a tip to women on dating:

She relinquishes her checklist of qualities she thinks she requires in a man. Then, she acknowledges that she can be blissfully happy with an imperfect man, and that she will definitely be lonely without one.

I'm not sure whether to gag, or fall over laughing. I'll settle for both. Twits!

So bad boys, you know, have taste? What can I say. I never understood people who acted like being a virgin was a good thing.

I am suddenly reminded of part of the "Surrendered Single," that said that the surrendered woman knew she had no control over who asks her out. My immediate reply was, "But she can say no, and she can ask out whomever she damn well pleases."

I was aware things like that made one a Bad Girl.

Good gods. why would *anyone* want a "surrendered" *anything*? It'd be like wrestling with a dressmaker's dummy -- where's the fun in that? Most of the fun in life is being surprised by people...particularly those people who you know/know you best. That's one of the top criteria I have for a long-term relationship, speaking as someone who's in one that's 20 years old, and another that's at 7 years. Does your partner still surprise you? *GOOD* That's a sign of life.

Any relationship that involves the word "relinquish" is not of much interest to me. On the other hand, "relentless," "unbelievable," "incredible," "untamed," or "surprising" is good, especially if followed by the words "passion," "lust," "creativity," "desire," "art," "ability" or "knowledge."

I'll bet none of you youngsters remember the nonsense about the "Total Woman."
