Title: Bad Boy/good Girl
UsagiMamoru - March 14, 2007 04:59 PM (GMT)
My boyfriend is a bad boy.
Since my boyfriend is a bad boy, reputation wise, my boyfriend has a bad boy reputation and I have the good reputation. I just really get this thrill with my boyfriend's bad boy side and I like it when things can relate. So, anyone here got things to relate to? Since my boyfriend is a bad boy , that is, reputation wise, I like it when things can relate. I love that my boyfriend is a bad boy. I really love talking about that side of him. He'd probably get mad if he knew I mentioned him. So, anyone got any things to relate to?

That was... redundant. o.O; ...and confusing, and a little contradictory too.

Sorry if my message sounds confusing. I'm much better socially than on message boards.
I was saying that my boyfriend has a bad boy reputation and I have a good reputation and I can relate to that because my boyfriend is a bad boy , my boyfriend has a bad boy reputation and I have a good reputation, so I can relate to it.
Anyway,
I love that my boyfriend is a bad boy. He is exciting and he gets into trouble.
My boyfriend is a bad boy reputation wise. My boyfriend has a bad boy reputation.
My boyfriend drinks and smokes and he likes to party. I find that exciting about him.
My boyfriend and his crowd also get high. My boyfriend gets in trouble a lot. I find that exciting about him.
Anyway, my boyfriend is a bad boy while I am the good one and I like that I have a bad boy boyfriend.
My boyfriend is a bad boy in the rebel way.
Haley/Nathan forever, they are dating in season one, then get married in season two, get married again and renew their vows in season three and are expecting a child in season four.
I love that my boyfriend is a bad boy. My boyfriend is very exciting and he gets into a lot of trouble.
My boyfriend gets into trouble and has some habits like drinking and smoking that make my boyfriend a bad boy. I find him exciting.
I know I repeated myself like a million times, but I do that when I talk about things I like.
Sorry for repeating my message, I'm just in an excited mood. I repeat my messages a lot so it may sound like I'm repeating things.

....Season 4 of what? *confused* you didnt say what.
Mista: I think she's asking for examples of bad boy/good girl relationships that have been portrayed in TV shows, anime, manga...things like that...

I have to quote JK Rowling for this...I agree with what she says:
| QUOTE |
| It's a romantic, but unhealthy, and unfortunately all too common delusion of - delusion, there you go - of girls, and you will know this, that they are going to change someone. And that persists through many women's lives, 'til their deathbed, and it is uncomfortable and unhealthy and it actually worried me a little bit, to see young girls swearing undying devotion to this really imperfect character, because there must be an element in there, that "I'd be the one who [changes him]." I mean, I understand the psychology of it, but it is pretty unhealthy |
I'm not sure what everyone else's definition of 'bad boy' is. I know these guys...who I think preeetty much qualify as really 'BAD boys'....who gab about their sex lives to the rest of the universe(and I mean detailed descriptions :puke: ), try to hump every hawt girl in sight,, come to school stinking drunk, get into rumbles every month or so, will probably get kicked out next semester and don't give a sh*t...I just hope they haven't been to crack dens yet. :ermm: And honestly...loving someone like that is dangerous. It's the same delusion that creates so many battered wives.
As I said, there are different ideas of 'bad boy', many are milder than the one I just mentioned...there have been so called 'bad boys with hearts of gold' But I think good girls falling for the really BAD boys just spells trouble.
Sure, it's sounds so thrilling in your mind...but people should really learn to know to separate realistic from idealistic.

^Which character was JKR referring to, Kusari?
I'm assuming this is from One Tree Hill? I followed the first season, but couldn't keep up with the second onwards due to school. Nathan came off as your typical snotty bad-boy jock, but to me he seemed to mellow out really fast through the series. I mean, REALLY fast. I'd say Lucas was a bigger mess than he was by the end of season 1. :lol:
I agree with Kusari--it's a romantic ideal that a girl can "change" someone, and who knows, sometimes it might happen... Everyone deserves a chance, not to be judged on reputation only, right? But eventually there might come a point when the girl just has to wake up and realise nothing's gonna change him, and walk out. Admittedly, easier said than done.
In fiction, though, I can see the appeal. I tend to gravitate more to the sweeter ones, though. The bad-boy characters feel too manufactured sometimes, an easy way to cash in on their pre-determined popularity. Straight-laced characters are "boring" and "one-dimentional"--you have to be a rebel, a loner, an emokid flooding angst through your earholes, to be considered "deep".
I really dislike images of Cloud as a "bad boy". If anything, he's dying to be accepted by those around him. But just because he's a bit more sullen as an adult, he's typified as a "lone wolf", complete with his own door-knocker Cloudy Wolf.
But now I'm just ranting. :whistle:

I can think of an example for this one.. like Sasuke x Sakura from Naruto?
I know this pairing has a huge fan base.
But honestly, I can't stand Sasuke nor Sakura myself D :
It depends on how you define "bad". To me, "bad" is being a rebel without a cause, or for a stupid cause. "Bad" is doing hurtful things without valid reasons.
I do like some of the villians from game series, animes etc though. But I wouldn't label them "bad" myself. They have intriguing (and often very tragic) backgrounds and an interesting (and maybe a bit insane xd) perspective on life that put them on different grounds. I prefer guys like that =D
But like Kusari and Lynn'd said, in real life, I can't handle wierd people like that =D I'll freak out. I think I would want a more normal guy to balance out my wierdness :lmao:

She was talking about Draco Malfoy, and how fans wax lyrical about fanon!Draco. She said it was amusing at first, but came to the point where it started worrying her :P
I was talking about it with my friends a while back. One of them said that the major appeal of the bad boy was, when he's a jerk to everyone else...but treats YOU in a completely different way. YOU are special enough to him, so that he can be cold to the world but completely charming to you...or somethin' like that. :P
Mmmm, I still think you have to watch your back in that situation. If he treats others like that, what's to stop him from treating YOU shabbily, when you get into disagreements?
