It’s the ageless dilemma of the male population: Good girl or Bad girl? By instinct we’re attracted to that wild, pump-wearing bad girl—she promises excitement and great sex—but our common sense often tells us that these girls are impossible to get with, or if it is possible, it still might not be worth it in the long run.
So what’s a boy to do? Do we jump at that flirty party girl that has her breasts hanging out and a circle of dropped jaws around her? Or think twice and find that quiet girl who we know we can actually spend some time with? The ideal woman would embody aspects of each, a sexy partier that has compassion and loyalty—but is this possible?
Each type of girl has their good and bad qualities, so let’s break them down:
THE BAD GIRL
1) GOOD: She knows how to flaunt her most likely perfect body. She also has no qualms about getting into the sheets for some off-the-wall sex. Exciting and stimulating, you won’t be able to get enough of her. She’s down to go out any day of the week and get her drink on. She’ll flirt and tease you at the bar until you’re going home early to tear her out of her clothes.
2) GOOD: Bad girls tend to make us feel like men. They flirt, giggle, and in general play a very feminine role, allowing us to inflate our male egos. It’s also a good feeling when we walk into a room with them on our arms and become the instant envy of every other man with eyes.
3) BAD: Forget loyalty. This girl craves excitement and change, you’re with her for now but she isn’t planning on things staying that way for long. You must also be prepared to be #2, because she is always #1. Bad girls are self-obsessed and every decision involves only one person: themselves.
4) BAD: Hope you have some cash. These girls like a fast-paced lifestyle and going to the bar every night isn’t cheap. They make you feel manly, but they’ll also make you pay for every dinner you have out—you’re the man, after all!
THE GOOD GIRL
1) GOOD: She’s actually nice. This girl isn’t going to cut you down and make you feel like shit. She’ll actually go out of her way to make you feel good and do nice things for you! She’s going to be there for you when you’re throwing up from the flu and when you’re down because your job sucks. This girl isn’t prowling the bar for the next good thing, she’s hanging out at home reading a book and telling you about her day.
2) GOOD: Someone to split the bill with. Unlike the bad girl, the good girl knows she’d be a real bitch to make you pay for everything. She’s more than happy to share expenses. You’re a person, not a walking pile of cash, and she knows that.
3) BAD: Maybe a bit boring. She might not be out hunting other guys, but that also means she’s not going to want to go out all the time with you. She’s into Sunday matinees at the mall superplex, not tequila shots at 4am.
4) BAD: The sex life might suffer. Since she’s a good girl she hasn’t had sex with the whole town and lacks experience. She’s also going to be timid when it comes to anything besides the missionary position.
So what’s the solution? How do we get the best of both worlds and feel satisfied? Some say to go for the good girl, since making a good girl bad is easier than making a bad girl good. I think there’s a lot of truth in that statement, and if you ask me for my advice I’d say to listen to it. If you can keep your eyes off of those bad girls long enough, then go for the good girl and see how bad she’s willing to be.
