Our Favorite Man to Love – The ‘Bad Boy’

Even as women over 40 & 50, we can still be wildly attracted to a ‘Bad Boy.’  He’s the man who makes you feel alive inside and unbelievably wonderful about yourself, him, the two of you together and the world you live in.

He knows women well and he knows what to say and do to make you his.  He will tell you that you are beautiful or that they broke the mold when they made you.  He will tell you there is no one else he can trust or share his deepest thoughts with other then you.

A “Bad Boy” knows just what to say to make you his and you feel honored he chose you above everyone else to be his girlfriend.  You fall in love with him based on his words and the chemistry you feel that is off the charts.

He’ll say “I love you” one day then the next, he’ll be gone because the ‘Bad Boy’ can’t make a commitment to anyone.  He loves going after the woman he wants but once captured, he quickly tires of her and starts looking for someone he thinks might be better.

He’ll break your heart. And he’ll come back to do it again between his relationships. He’ll woo you once more telling you what you mean to him and how much he missed you. You’ll hope this will be the time he’ll stay with you. He doesn’t want to be alone and will use you until he has found his next prey.  He’ll do this again and again until you finally decided to stop this heart-breaking cycle.

A tell tale sign of the ‘Bad Boy’ is his extremes in life. He’s often very handsome and very masculine.  He has to have the best liquor, cars and women.  He’s often extremely wealthy and extremely fast in whatever he does.  He’s quite exciting and often very self-indulgent.

He’ll make you miserable in the long run because he’ll shut you out without a second thought.  I know.  I lived this with an old flame of mine who came back into my life after my divorce.  He told me how he’d put me on a pedestal if we were together.  He’d paint these romantic scenarios telling me he never stopped loving me.  This would go on for weeks at a time then he’d vanish, only to reappear then vanish again.  Each time, I’d hope this was it but of course it wasn’t.

I finally learned, as with many ‘Bad Boys,’ his words were hollow.  There is no action behind them and there never will be.  I decided to change course and look for a man who would capture my heart and want to keep it.

I found that man, or rather he found me, at an online dating site.  He’s a nice man and a good man.  Unlike the ‘Bad Boy’, it’s his actions not his words that make me feel good and I like that!

Have you ever dated a ‘Bad Boy?’  If so, did he tell you what you wanted to hear then walk away?  Or did he stay and walk his talk?  Would love to hear your thoughts.

Believing in You!
