Men don’t know what they are courting anymore. Women can have everything changed from head to toe. Once the men are trapped they could end up with Helen Thomas.

It sounds like you share the same skills as my sister (3X divorced) in choosing a husband.

Perhaps some introspective reflection might help.

I don’t know who runs the business in Nevada that you mentioned, and Bill Clinton is more of a nerd and adulterer, he was never known as a “bad boy” as a young man and Rhodes Scholar, they say that he didn’t become the womanizer that he became, until the nerdy man gained power.

There is a whole TV series of good dating material, they are always getting arrested though...

“Bad Boys, Bad Boys, what ya gonna do... what ya gonna do when they come for you....”

OK, maybe he just had me fooled. Some people are good at playing a part, but they secretly lead a double life.

LOL, I’ve never known a lifetime “nerd” to convert to a masculine renegade in middle age.

Well, you just met your first. Me.

Truth be told, a woman could marry a complete and total nerd (as I did) who, when he hits midlife, then decides he wants to be a “bad boy.” So, there are no guarantees in life.


***Sigh***

I ride a motorcycle. I wear leather (road rash sucks). I shave my head (habit started in pursuit of good gas mask seal while on active duty). I don’t look for fights but I’ll stand firm to protect those I love.

I go into a place where I’m not known and people act uncomfortable.

And I’m a freakin’ High School Teacher (AF JROTC).

A gentle nice guy, good provider, good example and role model to his kids is just so horrible.

but there are always those “bad Boys” playing the knock-out game for dating.

If someone they do not know and who likes a biker makes them uncomfortable, why shouldn’t it?

That show is about cops, they number some of what you would label bad boys among themselves, and I don’t mean being criminal, just a little adventurous and wild, at least by some standards.

Wild males can end up in lot’s of walks of life, cop, criminal, professional soldier, adventurer.

I does seem to bother some that they often do well with women, when women are in their reproductive ages.

Anyone who mocks good guys and likes bad guys probably deserve what they get.

Are you sure that he didn’t stay a nerd, and yet also become a cad, or a drunk, or a cheater, or whatever he started doing that was wrong, during his middle age?

There’s nothing wrong with riding a motorcycle, shaving your head, and wearing leather. :-) By the term “bad boy,” I mean a man who chases other women and cheats on his faithful wife.

You are starting to spin out of control and just make nothing but frivolous remarks and personal insults.

Maybe we each have a different definition for nerd and bad boy.

Assuming you mean “Looks like a biker,” most of us are former military and retirees. I’m polite and respectful.

You can generally tell the criminal bikers the same way you can tell a sheep dog from a wolf.

AMBER ALERT: Police across the Northwest are searching for an Oregon kidnapping suspect -- Gresham authorities say he abducted his 2-year-old daughter after shooting the girl's mother. Be on the lookout for a black Dodge Charger with Oregon plates!

Sounds like a bad boy, and I bet he's available girls... for a very limited time...
