Dating 10 Possible Reasons Why Women Choose Bad Boys 8:00 AM 10 Possible Reasons Why Women Choose Bad Boys From a third person’s perspective, it may be hard to understand why good women choose bad guys over the nice husband material types. We can psychoanalyze them all day, but here are ten possible reasons why women choose bad boys. This post contains affiliate links, so we’d get a commission if you purchase through the links at no additional cost to you.1. Breaking the rules means fun Women want someone who can break the monotony.They look for a partner to surprise and take them out of mediocrity.They want someone who can give them an adrenaline rush and constantly keep them on their toes. The bad guy is a rule breaker. And the thrill they offer could be a reason women choose bad boys. Giphy 2. Mind conditioning from the mediaThe media conditioned us to believe the rotten apple can still be good.Many movies feature stories about women falling for bad boys who are actually nice. Or turned out to be just a troubled or misunderstood creature. Good Will Hunting is a good example.Women have been exposed to the bad boy turned good scenario even when they’re still little girls.Aladdin was a liar and a thief. But he only does it for survival. Plus, he gives what he has to someone who needs it more.The Beast was mean and kidnapped Belle, but Stockholm syndrome made them fall for each other.There’s character development in the end, so the possibility of a happily ever after for the girl who chooses the bad boy is there.Giphy3. Confidence is sexy Bad boys exude confidence, and confidence is sexy. Nothing is more attractive than a man who knows what he wants and goes for it. It could be because women want security. And a man who seems like he’s sure of himself gives that vibe. Giphy 4. Daddy issues If you’re a fan of How I Met Your Mother, you know that Barney Stinson’s favorite “prey” are women with daddy issues. They want someone precisely the opposite of what their fathers wish for them.Or because of homing instinct. They gravitate to what is familiar or makes them feel at home. So if they’ve been badly treated by the man supposed to love and protect them growing up, they’re attracted to someone who does the same.It’s the kind of relationship or treatment they know and understands.Sad reality. Women may choose bad boys because of their broken relationships with their fathers. Giphy 5. Bad boys are challenging Men love the chase. Women love a good challenge. What challenge?Turning the rebel into the ideal guy.The more the lousy guy rejects them, the more they want to go after them. To prove their worth. To change his mind, perhaps. We can also say that women don’t like the bad boys they see. Instead, they like the idea of being responsible for his transformation into a nice guy. Some women make bad boys their personal projects. A goal to accomplish.Sometimes they give too much of themselves in the hopes of bringing the best out of the person they choose.They allow themselves to become a rehabilitation center for boys with issues.That sense of accomplishment to achieve something that seems impossible is exciting and enticing.Girls choose the bad boys because they love a challenge.Giphy 6. Girls just wanna have fun Men are not the only ones afraid of commitment or settling down. Since nice guys seem to be the marrying type, so some women avoid them. They don’t want to be tied. At least not yet.Bad boys are more carefree and appear more fun to be around. They’re not the type who would settle down anytime soon. Drunkgifs 7. Solving the mystery The bad boy has a story he hides from the world. Who doesn’t love a mystery?The pleasure in uncovering that enigmatic bad boy.Curiosity gets the better of some women. So they choose the elusive bad boy. Giphy 8. The damsel in distress in search of the knight in shining armor According to clinical psychologist Dr. Kanan Khatau Chikhal: “Most of these women who fall for this kind of man are intimidated by the outside world. They are naturally shy and instantly attracted to someone who can take on the world, protect and take care of them.”That sums it all up.Some women need saving from the cruel world. And the dauntless bad boy offers that. Giphy 9. Inferiority complex The lack of self-worth often leads women to believe they deserve to be treated like crap.So they stay even when the guy doesn’t give them the attention, affection, and respect they deserve. Giphy 10. The instinct to care for someone in needUnderneath all the bravado, you’re just a sad little boy with delusions of grandeur… who can’t fence for shit by the way. -Rafe AdlerWomen are naturally sympathetic and are born with maternal instincts. They quickly need to protect and care for those considered as society’s reject or are often picked on. Bad boys look like they need to be loved and nurtured, and women are ready to offer that. GiphyAdmit it. At one point, you want to try something everybody tells you not to. The danger is exciting. Too good to resist.The what-ifs...What if he has a kind heart but just doesn’t show it?What if he’s sweet but doesn’t want to be vulnerable?What if it works out. He’s gonna change for me at some point?What if he’s just misunderstood? He’s not really mean. He’s just straightforward.Yeah, right.You’ve justified and defended them even though everyone can see that we’re only blinded by infatuation.Or maybe because we’re good, and that’s what we automatically see or want to see in others.We don't see the world as it is; we see it as we are. - Anaïs NinWe risk anything for what we believe is love. We make silly decisions that we know we’ll regret in the end. Sometimes we get the happily ever after we dream of. Other times we fail.I love this quote from Gilmore Girls:I mean, you have your morals, standards, and good common sense, and then, bam, you meet some guy, and all that goes right out the window. For every good woman, there's a dirty little wolf ready to lead her astray! You can't help it. He's got the eyes, the chin, and chest hair you could carpet your dining room with. I mean, what's a woman to do? We're not made of steel, for God's sake! Take good care of yourself. And don't be embarrassed Toots! This has happened to all of us. It’s happened even to the best of us.What’s important is that, in the end, we learn a valuable lesson from every failed relationship.Especially from our experience hanging around with the guy your mother warned you about.Women may choose bad boys initially, but they will always strive to bring out the excellent guy in them. Because the truth is, women may like to mess around with the bad boys, but deep down, they know it’s still better to marry the nice guy.

Dating 17 Reasons Why I'm Still Single 12:00 AM Single is no longer a lack of options – but a choice. A choice to refuse to let your life be defined by your relationship status but to live every day Happily and let your Ever After work itself out. -Mandy Hale While everyone my age is getting married, having a baby, or seriously dating, here I am...still single.In a world full of gooey-eyed couples, why am I still single? Here are 17 reasons why: 17 Reasons Why I'm Still Single 1. I finally know my worth. After all that I went through, heartbreak after heartbreak, I've finally realized my worth.I used to accept anyone who offers me love and sweet promises. Even though they don't treat me right.In short, I used to shortchange myself. I now know my value. I've woken up to the truth; that I've been fearfully and wonderfully made. (Psalm 139:14)And so I deserve to be treated with honor.I'm still single because I believe I deserve more. Giphy 2. I love my own company. I enjoy my own company so much I don't need a man to entertain me or make me happy. I can eat out and watch a movie alone (or with my friends). I revel in my Me Time. I'm still single because I love spending time with myself. Being alone doesn't bother me. Giphy 3. I rediscovered myself. I've rediscovered who I really am after losing myself to someone...And I love what I've found. I didn't know this stronger and better version of myself before. Maybe because I didn't get the opportunity to tap into this strength and potential because of people holding me back. Or because I thought I was already okay with who I was.I'm still single because I've discovered who I really am and I fell in love with that person. (Not in the self-absorbed, arrogant way. But in a selfless, kind-to-myself way). Giphy 4. I refuse to be dictated by society. People around me are concerned about my relationship status. They think it's not normal for people my age to not be married or at least dating.I know these people mean well but what they don't understand is that I am single by choice. Not because there are no other options or that I'm too scared. Even in this day and age, people put a stigma on single women over the age of 30. I can't blame them. But I also refuse to be influenced by them.I'm still single because society has no say in my romantic choices. Giphy 5. I finally feel at peace with myself. I've been trying to figure out where I'm supposed to be for the longest time.I've been trying to reach other people's expectations. I've been searching, chasing, hustling. For what? I don't even know.I was like a dog who keeps chasing his tail day in and day out. Finally, when he caught it, he doesn't know what to do. It's silly and a total waste of time. Now, I feel at peace with myself knowing that I'm on the right track. I am exactly where my heart wants me to be. And that's another reason why I'm still single. Tumblr 6. I'm piecing myself back together. I have been broken, battered, bruised. I'm now learning to put back the pieces together.I've learned to embrace the present. To appreciate the people I'm with, the experience, and the lessons I'm learning along the way. It wasn't easy. Sometimes I still fall short. But I'm a work in progress.I'm still single because I'm still putting back my broken pieces together and this is something I've got to do on my own. Giphy 7. I'm making the most of all the time in my hands. I know this phase won't last. I don't know how long I'll be single.I'm certain that I will sooner or later find my better half. Now more than ever is the best time to spend serving, growing, and being with the people who matter to me. It's the best time to travel and experience new things.I'm still single because I want to take advantage of my free time doing things I've always wanted to do. Giphy 8. I'm enjoying my freedom.I love the freedom that comes with being unattached. 😊I can drop whatever I'm doing, pack my things and go out of town. I can head to the movies, or have tea with someone at a moment's notice. One text or call from a friend and I'm on my way to where the fun is. No one to ask permission to, no one to stop me, no dates to cancel, no compromises, no hassles.I'm still single because this freedom will not last forever and I'm here to enjoy it while it lasts. Tumblr 9. I still have trust issues. Somewhere not so long ago, my trust has been broken. And you know what they say about a broken trust...Trust takes years to build, seconds to break, and forever to repair.I try so hard to shake the doubts off and give humanity another chance.I've never stopped believing in love but finding a genuine one has been challenging. Especially when you start to question everything.I'm still single because I haven't found the courage to trust again. Giphy 10. My Love Tank is still filling up. I am still filling up my love tank and I don't want to selfishly drain another person just to fill up mine.The way I've been drained before. I'm still single because I can't give something I don't have. If I want to give love to someone someday, I have to have healthy, selfless love in my heart first. Giphy 11. I have respect for myself and for others. I don't want to play with other people's feelings. I don't want to waste their time and lead them on. I have enough respect for them and for myself.Wasting my time and energy on something I'm not serious about and will not help me grow is not honoring myself. I'm still single because I have self-respect and I respect others. Giphy 12. No chasing. Most guys think being mysterious is sexy. Maybe at some point. But having to guess what men think about all the time isn't fun.They tell you they like you today and then stop talking to you for days. And expect you to still be there and believe them when they come around.There may be a thrill in the initial chase but it eventually gets boring and discouraging. Especially when it makes you ask...What role am I playing here? Where is this going?The doubts take away the fun. If I have to chase you, if I have to guess, then I think it's not worth my time.I'm still single because I don't want to chase after something inconsistent and unsure. I'm too old for that game. Giphy 13. Preparing for the real thing.There are many times I thought a relationship was real but it wasn't. I've learned to discern if someone's sincere or not. If a relationship is going somewhere or will just go around in a toxic circle.I've grown because of my mistakes and shortcomings.I'm still single because I'm still being prepared for my prince. So when he arrives, I'm ready. To give my all.Giphy14. I'm waiting.A friend once told me, "Stop waiting for Mr. Right. He doesn't exist."I agree.I'm not waiting for Mr. Right. I'm waiting for Mr. Right One For Me.I'm looking for the one I can spend my life with.He doesn't have to be perfect as long as we're perfectly imperfect for each other.I'm still single because I choose to wait for the right time for the right person with the right love. Tumblr 15. I have this boldness. Not everyone walks this path because it could be scary and intimidating. It's a lonely road when you're walking on your own.People tend to follow where the crowd goes. But I've learned that the more I follow the crowd the more lost I become.Because where they're going is not where I want to be.I'm still single because I am bold enough to take the road less traveled. Giphy 16. I complete me.Of course, I am not worried about intimidating men. The type of man who will be intimidated by me is exactly the type of man I have no interest in. -Chimamanda Ngozi AdichieDo I need a man to live the life I've always wanted? No.Do I need a man to pay for my bills, finance my travels, and buy me things that I need and want? No.Am I incomplete, miserable, helpless, and unattractive without a man to call my own? No.I complete me. And that's why I'm still single. Giphy 17. I'm too fabulous to settle.That's what my favorite single woman author Mandy Hale said. Not in an egotistical, self-righteous kind of way.I know I am no damsel in distress.I am already living a fabulous life that I'd rather have someone with whom I can share that or enjoy it on my own.I have my family and friends who cheer me on.I have my dogs to care for and love and who give me unparalleled loyalty.I've got a God who's always got my back.And I've got me to give me what I want.I'm still single because I know I already got it good. I'm too fabulous to settle. GiphyWhat about you? Are you still single? Why did you choose singlehood? This is my entry for The Single Woman’s 30-Day Blogging Challenge: Your response to everyone’s favorite question: “And why are YOU still single?”.
Dating Strangers Again 8:30 AM Strangers Again How can you look at the same familiar eyes and not see the person you used to know... and love? Strangers Again One moment it seems as if nothing can separate you from this one person, and the next moment, you're strangers again. All good times are gone, and all promises vanished. It's sad when you see two people share their lives; laughter, secrets, and special and ordinary moments...Then one day, completely ignore one another. Like total strangers. The world around them is oblivious.Unaware that these two strangers who are avoiding each others' eyes, acting as if they don’t know one another used to share a world of their own that no one else can join in. Strange. Curious. How can you look at the same familiar eyes and not see the person you used to know... and love? Is he still there somewhere?Does he remember?Was it all a bad dream?Everything that happened feels like ages ago, so long that you start to wonder if it was even real. What of those who have been a huge part of your life, your plans for the future, you've given your all to, but whom life wouldn't allow you to be with anymore? What happens when your paths cross again? Do you keep ignoring one another until you've totally forgotten that certain phase in your life when you had each other? Until you both become a blurry memory that you’ll soon forget?Do all happy beginnings have to end with you being strangers again?
Dating 10 Signs Your Partner Is A Man-Child And Not A Man 11:00 AM Manhood is defined and decided by the ability to nurture and to protect, by the capability to provide and sustain. -C. JoyBell C. It's easy to shrug off some flaws and accept someone out of love. But what if it's a glaring red flag, and you're in danger of not only sabotaging the relationship but also destroying yourself in the process? What if your partner is not the man you thought he was? Tracey Clayton gives a clear and concise explanation in knowing the difference between a man and a man-child. I hope you enjoy learning from her article as much as I did. 10 Signs Your Partner Is A Man-Child And Not A Man It is known that men are slow to mature compared to women. It is also said that men are ‘children inside’. But as much fun as it may seem to have a male child by your side, it can sometimes get irritating. When in a relationship, we tend to notice details that show us that he is still ‘green’ and on the long road to maturity. It’s not the same as being in a relationship with a guy who can show his inner child and with a child who only appears to be an adult. If you observe him carefully, you can see for yourself what group your partner belongs to. Photo: mannaexpressonline.com 1. No control over his financesA mature man recognizes the importance of money and knows he should have a budget to live peacefully. If you barely make ends meet and in the end, it is you who pay the bills; if he doesn’t know what he spent the money on and you have fights due to his lack of financial responsibility too often...It's time to think about where your relationship is going. 2. His mom is always aroundYou can tell much about a man based on his relationship with his mother. If he always has to have his mother’s food, has his mom wash his clothes, calls her all the time, and vice versa...It means that he hasn’t stopped being her baby. You need a man who is aware of the importance of loving and respecting his mom while also remaining aware that he can step into adult life independently. actionagogo.com 3. His priorities haven’t changedWhen men are young, they have a lot of fun, risky, and crazy ideas about their future. Eventually, their priorities should change, and they should start thinking about a safe future, settling down, and being independent. It will be easy to realize whether he has already become a grown man or he’s still a teenager, something that wouldn’t suit you in the slightest. 4. Partying as if he were 18Women enjoy going out at weekends and having some fun with their partners while keeping their composure. We do not like to be forced to keep watch to prevent our partners from making a scandal in front of people. Or to prevent trouble, men can cause when they are with a group of friends and under the influence of alcohol. If we will be babysitting, we better do it back home. 5. He fears commitment A mature man is aware of everything involved in having a serious relationship. Especially about spending enough time together. Commitment does not only refer to marriage but also to the respect people involved should have for each other.If your partner constantly avoids the topic of your future together or acts as if he were single, better think again about dating him. Photo: workopolis.com 6. They do not know how to express what they feel We all know that some men find it hard to verbalize what they are thinking or feeling.A mature guy at least tries to. Maturity implies the ability to recognize oneself, to say what bothers you, and to tell that to the other person to avoid possible hurt. Being with a man with a poker face is frustrating and exhausting. 7. Completely ignoring his personal appearance Picture this:You have an appointment and pick out your best suit for the occasion. Here comes your man in old, ripped jeans and a wrinkled shirt. Horrible!Everyone has a personal style, but you can tell a lot about a man if he at least cares about his appearance. Don’t tell me you wouldn’t feel happy to walk hand in hand with a man who looks friendly and presentable. 8. They don’t accept their mistakes Saying ‘sorry’ signifies that the man you're dating is mature enough to admit mistakes. They accept that those mistakes can have some serious consequences. No relationship is perfect. If he thinks he's never guilty and tries to belittle you for being upset, the damage to your relationship can be severe.9. Collecting toysThere’s nothing wrong with being passionate about something. But if your partner constantly spends money on insignificant things like:new video gamespopular bobbleheads he rarely takes out of the packagingor tiny cars that he just can’t get enough of, etc. Then his adulthood is definitely in question.This kind of behavior points to certain psychological problems that your partner (or both of you) needs to deal with as soon as possible. Photo: funko.com 10. His childish things are the most important in the world If you’re not allowed to touch his precious books or ‘play’ with his toy cars...If you got yelled at just because you moved one of his things to a different spot...There’s definitely something wrong with your relationship. You should at least try to talk about it and dig the root of this issue. Irresponsible and immature behavior is a sign of emotional instability. It's nice to nurture the child in you, but if your guy is more of a boy than a man all the time, it can be challenging. Remember, sometimes you need to accept that your relationship harms you and that it is perfectly OK to seek happiness. Breaking up with someone because he’s childish is not always the right answer. But you should aspire to find a way to make it work.Seek help. And please, never ignore the red flags. About the author: Tracey Clayton is a full-time mom of three girls.

Dating 5 Common Worries Of A Single Woman & What To Do About Them 2:35 AM 5 Common Worries Of A Single Woman & What To Do About Them Is being single worth losing sleep over? It’s 2 AM. The world is quiet and sleeping. But here you are. Lying awake in bed wondering if you’d ever find The One. You wish you could fast forward and skip to the good part.But you can’t.You’re single AF. Uncertainties start to overwhelm you. Self-doubt begins to dampen your spirit.The future looks scary...mainly because you feel alone.You try to shake off that negative feeling and ask, “How do I stop worrying about being single?”Don’t fret. For every anxiety, there is a remedy.What do single women worry about the most?Here are five common worries of a single woman and what to do about them. Worry #1: All my friends are getting married or pregnant!When you see your peers celebrating milestones and feel like you’re stuck, it’s easy to feel insecure.You start questioning what’s next for you.When am I going to meet my spouse? Will I ever be able to start my own family?You don’t want to feel left behind.People will be pressuring you to settle down.Some of them are well-meaning. But it does feel intrusive and disrespectful sometimes.So what to do when you start to worry about your friends moving forward and ahead of you? Remedy:It pays to be patient. There’s nothing wrong with taking your time. How you spend your lifetime is at stake here, so don’t jump into hasty decisions and settle for just anyone.Don’t sabotage your future just because you’re lonely at present.Strip away envy.Be genuinely happy for your friends’ achievements and breakthroughs.Celebrate your victories too. You may not have found The One yet, but the freedom of being single is priceless. Seize every moment. Unlike you, your friends may enjoy their time with their new baby but cannot sleep as much as they want. You can go to bed and wake up at any time.You have everything in your hands to experience life as you please.No commitments. No hassles.Embrace your alone time.Because one day, when you least expect it, it will all be over.Gratitude is the best antidote for envy. Be thankful for what you have and for where you are. Remember when you used to pray for those things? And you have no idea how many people wish they could trade places with you. Giphy Worry #2: My biological clock is ticking! Age affects the fertility of men and women.Studies show that as women age, the chances of conceiving drop.Women are born with all the eggs they will ever have, and as they get older, the eggs get fewer.A woman’s fertility starts to reduce in her early 30s. By age 40, only 1 in 10 women will get pregnant per menstrual cycle. Remedy:Freeze your eggs.Believe in miracles.Consider adoption.If you really want to be a biological mother, your age may be another source of worry if you’re still single.Thanks to modern technology, though, there are ways to increase your chances of having a baby and a healthy one even when you’re 35 and up. Some women opt for other fertility options like IVF or donor eggs.If you can afford it, you can freeze your eggs until you’re ready to have a baby.Remember the stories of Sara and Elizabeth in the Bible? Some people don’t believe in miracles or God, but that’s their call. If God can make Sara a mother at the age of 90 and Elizabeth was 88 when he gave birth to John...Don’t you think you also have the chance to get pregnant even when you’re beyond the ideal age? Hopefully, not as old as these legendary women in the Bible, of course.Nothing’s impossible with a God who can turn water into wine and raise the dead.Believe that you are just as highly favored as the people in the Bible.Or maybe the child for you is already out there, from another family. Waiting for a parent who can give them a better life. GfycatWorry #3: When is Prince Charming going to rescue me? The problem here is all in the head.Maybe because Disney conditioned us to believe that Prince Charming is the only way to get us to the life we want.So when it takes too long for your knight in shining armor to come and get you, you wonder if he’ll arrive.Or if there’s something wrong with you because why wouldn’t anyone want to rescue a fair lady like yourself?Remedy:Get rid of your Cinderella complex. You’ll get disappointed if you depend on others to give you what you need. Waiting for The One will be easier if your love tank is full. Then, it will be an exciting adventure.Remember: You’re not a damsel in distress who needs saving. You’re capable enough to take care of yourself. Stop waiting for love, marriage, and Prince Charming to come along and rescue you, and start designing a life you don’t wish to be rescued from. - Mandy Hale Gfycat Worry #4: I’m not desirable enough. Am I not pretty?Am I too short? Or too tall?Am I not smart enough?Don’t I have the right personality?Am I not dating, girlfriend, or wife material?What is wrong with me? Remedy: Carry yourself with grace.Work on finding your self-worth.Believe that you are enough. Because you really are.Be careful how you talk to yourself because you listen (Lisa M Hayes).God doesn’t create rejects. Just because the glossy pages of beauty magazines tell you you’re not the standard of beauty doesn’t mean they’re right. Who are they to say? They’re just as imperfect as you are.Those women are loaded with heavy makeup and are Photoshopped.Remember that you are beautiful and worthy just the way you are.Nothing is more beautiful and irresistible than confidence. GiphyWorry #5: I’ll end up alone and miserable!Maybe you’ve met old single women who are grumpy and hateful.Maybe you’ve been watching too many movies where they portray women beyond their marrying age as desperate and hostile characters.Or maybe you’ve been putting your happiness in other people’s hands.That’s why you’re worried that you’ll never find joy if you don’t find a partner.Remedy:Choose to be happy! You are as happy and as lonely as you decide to be. Happiness cannot and will never be found in another person or from an outside source. Find the pros of being alone. Being alone is not tantamount to being miserable. You can be in a relationship and still be discontented and lonely. Two happy individuals make a happy relationship. If you’re unhappy in your own company, don’t expect others to be. Giphy Summary: Common Worries and Remedies for Single WomenThe next time worries about being single rear their ugly heads, you know what to do.Kick envy with gratitude.Believe you are favored.Design a life you don’t need rescuing from.Know your worth.Choose to be happy. Never ever compare your story with others, especially those in the movies. Your story is unique. Don’t insult your Maker. It’s not hard to be single. There are many perks to being alone.You’re free. You have a blank canvas.It’s actually exciting if you think about it.Knowing you have many options is like walking at a buffet table.Don’t listen to those making you feel like an outcast because you’re not in a relationship.You’re not!And they don’t hold your future. Stop overthinking and start believing.Stop betting against yourself and start being your own cheerleader.You’re exactly where you should be. But no, you won’t be stuck there forever. Unless you want to. Are you single? What worries you, and what do you do about them?
