Misscommunication

After reading a comment regarding my last post, I decided to clarify a couple of things about always picking the 'bad boys'.

First of all, it was in no way, shape or form a cry for help. I was just sharing with you all a little insight on the guys I usually go for...and then giving suggestions as to why I could be picking these men. After talking to MANY woman about dating life and relationships, it is clear to me that a lot of women (in their 20's...and some even older) tend to pick the rose with the most thorns.

My title "I Want a Bad Boy" has to be taken in a humorous context. It is there to show how stupid us ladies (who pick the bad boys or jerks) would sound when saying that. Not many people actually say they want a bad boy, we actually do want a guy who is nice, kind, caring, loyal, honest, outgoing, etc., but we just don't seem to pick them most times. Maybe we have trouble differentiating between the good and the bad, maybe it's the age or maybe it's the challenge because we are not ready to settle down quite yet. I honestly don't know the answer for sure, and I cannot speak for others. All I can do is throw a few suggestions out there to try and explain why I THINK this all goes on.

My past relationships have mostly consisted of guys with an edge. What it boils down to with me, is the challenge. Can I be that girl who can change that guy? I am in my early 20's...and was obviously not looking for Mr. Right during those times...I don't even think I want Mr. Right, right now.

However, I have learned so much from those relationships. I realize that if you see a red light flashing in the first month of your relationship, RUN before 2 years pass by and you have lost yourself in all the pain. I know now, that I am a good enough person to have high standards. I feel that if a man really loves a woman, he will not talk down to her or make her feel by his actions that she is smaller than he is. The list goes on...

My point is, my last post was supposed to show you all a little something about myself; to talk about a common problem amongst a lot of women in their twenties...we pick the bad boys. I do not regret anything that I have done...I have learn from all of my past experiences. I am going to make a lot of wrong decisions, and kiss a lot of frogs...and that is fine with me, because I like where it has all taken me so far.
