I prefer bad boys. I think I was about 36 when that became unpopular.

[philstar22]

I seem to prefer either fully evil or fully good boys, with very little inbetween.

Not OP.

But I can roll with villains being the shitheads they are because the story doesn't pretend they're not doing awful things, even if they have a reason for it. But those 'romantic' bad boys are a complete turn off for me because they're being shitty and awful but it's framed as 'romantic' or 'mysterious' when he's just a negging asshole. Which I feel is a big difference.

[philstar22]

That makes sense. And I think I'm pretty much the same. Villain that is clearly a villain and also attractive? I'm down for that. "badboy" that we're supposed to think is romantic and cool while they are doing shitty and/or sexist things? No thanks.

DA

But I also get tired of people dismissing and belittling the fact that women often really enjoy villains by mischaracterizing them as "bad boys."

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT but amen to that.

I've never liked bad boys, they're just fuckheads that the story is trying to pretend are actually romantic deep down when they're not. I can understand the appeal of 'oh he'll change for me' to a degree, but I can never vibe with the execution because he's just an obnoxious twat who isn't worth even 1/4 of the effort the female lead puts in to 'tame' him.

[bannedbookweek]

The whole appeal of the "bad boy" is that he's dangerous but gentle to the female protagonist. Most of the time though "bad boys" are just a-holes that are shitheads to everyone around them. Wanting a good boy love interest totally circumvents that so it's a much better bet!

Good boys are cuter than bad boys, but unfortunately, I'm a lesbian whose drawn to the mean villainesses. Ah well.

[(Anonymous)]

I always was drawn to the bad boy due to wanting to fix his damage. I also think a part of me thought a bad boy would treat me differently because I was surrounded by dudes people consider nice/normal, and they were massive assholes to me and/or women in their lives.
Took me a bit longer to understand that it's the norm to be surrounded by guys who suck. Good or bad boy, didn't matter much.
