Every woman will fancy herself a bad boy once in a while and despite us knowing that they're no good for us, we still continue to chase them.

So what it is that attracts us to bad boys and keeps us going back for more? Take a look at the top reasons we love a bad boy.

The Thrill

Bad boys are known to be a little dangerous and a little out of the ordinary which can seem really appealing if it's something you're not used to.

The thrill of being with someone who lives on the wild side has us all going back time and time again!

The Drama

If your life has become pretty boring and mundane you'll often go searching for a bit of drama to shake things up.

Enter the bad boy. There is pretty much guaranteed drama with a bad boy, so it will definitely liven up your life.

The Boredom Cure

Although we'd all like a guy who pulls our chair out and opens doors for us, there is a time when you'll become sick of the nice guy act.

If you're bored with a guy who is always asking how you feel and trying to please you in everything he does, you'll soon be looking for a guy who's going to stand his ground and get you told once in a while.

The Rebellious Streak

With him being rebellious, you'll definitely feel rebellious by default. He'll encourage you to try new things that you've never done and living on the wild side will make you feel alive.

Plus, no matter how old we get we still want to show our parents that we can date who we like, when we like and how we like, and there is nothing more rebellious than rebelling against your parents!
