A friend of mine, sweet girl, recently had a kid with one of these bad boys - a serial convict for GBH, loan shark and general moody twat. Completely inexplicable...or is it.
While science is a good indicator of behavior, psychology is usually involved as well. Lucia feels the female attraction to bad boys is best explained by the same human response that keeps Vegas casinos in business.
The term is positive partial reinforcement, or PPR, and it’s a psychological reaction where the reward is not granted every time the desired action is taken. PPR is the cornerstone of places like Las Vegas and other casinos. People gamble because they’re rewarded at random intervals. If they were never rewarded, there would be no reason to gamble and if they were always rewarded, they would get bored of constantly winning. PPR is the calling card of a bad boy.

Keep It Real wrote:I've got two possible explanations but aren't sure either is correct.
1. Women see a bad boy as being damaged, hurting deep inside. They want to mother and heal that struggling soul.
2. A bad boy is more of an alpha male - grim tinged from the fight for supremacy and making up his own rules as he goes along, frequently disregarding the law for example.
Any thoughts?
