So, bad boys, you think you can steal cars, break the rules, slack in school, get with any girl in town, and make every lady swoon with your "charm?" Hmm, you better take a seat, and take out a pen and paper, cause boy, are you dead wrong! It's time we recognize a rare species that may be unknown and uncommon in your area; the smart guy!

Now, now, before you get your boxers in a twist, boys, I don't mean intellectual smarts, I mean romantic smarts. Sure, in those cliche/cringe-worthy bad boy books that are so amazing! *gags* The bad boy usually has this "soft side" or "romantic side" to him that turns the girl on even more. Cause apparently them being reckless and lifting weights just wasn't enough for the girl!

As a 21st-century girl with an old soul to the core, it's hard for me to find a man like that attractive. I mean, yeah, the bad boy is a rebel, usually super buff and "hot" and has this attractive mysterious side that draws a girl's attention, but why? What's so great about all that?

After researching this topic to grasp a better understanding, I've finally come to a conclusion that brings us all the way back to our genes. No, not our jeans! I mean our DNA! 

In the stone Age, the man who was more muscular, dominant, and protective and brought food home, was less likely to die and produced more children, which is a plus for women. I mean they'd be passing their manly genes off to the next generation, and every gal wants to have nice, smart, dominant babies!

As humans expand in their knowledge, and we proceed through various revolutions, these traits say with us. Just like girls, boys also have this sudden attractiveness to certain types of girls. 

With all this being said, these features are usually associated with more "tough, sexually active, boastful." males. (Which is another reason why girls these days like these types of boys, because they can't contain their hormones!) But this also isn't (and shouldn't be) the case anymore. We don't need to hunt bears to feed our family. XD

As humans grow needier, these stereotypes have become something more of a want than anything else.

"He has a nice face, but he's too skinny for me."

"Woah, he totally needs to lose weight!"

"Oh gosh, his six-pack is so hot when he sweats, but his hair is too long."

*Eye twitches and skin starts to itch*

Ladies, I'm sorry, but this needs to be said... SHUT YOUR DUMB DUMB BUBBLEGUM SELF UP!

The "bad boy" doesn't need to be bad! The scrawny boy doesn't need to be a complete nerd! Appearance isn't everything, point blank! End of story! Seriously, why is this a thing? Why does this need to be something important? Because the media has made it this way! Ugh!

I've had many experiences with nice-looking, muscular boys, who not only are smart and respectful but are super shy... so the exact opposite of a bad boy. It's not even just the attitude girls want, it's the body.  (boys can be like this with girls too, but I'm not saying that every girl and boy in existence is like this.)

You wanna know the type of boy that should win a girl's heart? The smart boy!

Now that we know what a bad boy is, and why so many females love to click stories like "The Badboy Stole My Bra." or "The Badboy's Baby." It's clear that many people (like me, hi! *waves in enthusiasm*) get sick of these kinds of cringe-worthy stories. (Not to mention how sexual, vulgar, and unedited these stories can be. Seriously, can't you at least proofread!? My word!)  

Let's talk about the "good boys" or what I like to call the smart boys.

Again, this doesn't mean that the "bad boy" is stupid, but I'm referring to the men who show respect, kindness, and gentleman-like qualities.  (There are other qualities in men that I personally could add, but they may be biased and too in-depth for this chapter. Feel free to share your thoughts though.)

Bare with me, I may ramble on, and daydream about the type of traits I believe to be important. Respect is a key factor for anything in life, and it's one of the things these boys not just know will catch a girl's eye, but is something that should be done anyways no matter if girls like it or not. (But we do!)

It's not a chore, it's how they perceive life, and what should be shown to everyone, especially ladies.

Kindness and caring are also important because it shows that the boy wants to be nice, and care for you. Asking about your day, being there for you, and just being a friend is something that's attractive. (Also clean romance! Example: kissing the hand, helping with your bags, a nice picnic in the park, POEMS! etc.)

^^ guess you can tell what I like LOL. Men take notes, I'm telling you lol.

Acting like a gentleman is also a BIG factor, and I mean HUGE! Honestly, it's a quality that combines everything that any guy should have. Not trying "feel the girl up," flirt their way into their pants, rush into things or expect to automatically be the center of the girl's life.

Example: So, I'll pick you up at seven, don't take too long to get ready. I'm very impatient. Also, wear that dress you know I like. *winks* This doesn't work on a lot of girls, so please don't try it. 

Trust, trust, trust, trust! Say what you mean, mean what you say! Just be genuine and true and don't be slick! the truth always comes out!

If you want a perfect example of a good, attractive boy, basically be an Akram! (I hope people get this reference ;P.)

The smart boy will be.....smart! Well-educated, respectful to everyone (Not just for show, but in actual generosity and true kindness), and dazzle women with their most attractive charm... Being a gentleman!

*Sigh*  That's wonderful!

But of course, some girls do like the rough, aggressive type men. I'm convinced some people like the toxic traits of being pushed around and having massive trust issues. To this, I say "You are what you pay for!" If you want a cheap, emotionless relationship, keep doing these things! You earn what you give.

Just don't come to me, because you're a total waste of my time. I have things to do, boy, and have no time for games! *flips hair*

A real smart boy will not only accept you but be understanding of who you are. Appearance can be such a deceiver sometimes and taken for granted way too much. Does this mean the smart guy isn't attractive? Umm, NO! To be quite honest, if you like the guy, their looks won't matter at all. You'll think he is automatically attractive.

But yes, the smart boys can be muscular, handsome, and mysterious. Anyone can!

So, bad boys, you think you're so amazing, and a total babe magnet? Let me tell you something *leans in a whisper* you don't get my vote! No talent, no star quality, and no chance in life! (Someone please get this reference. I'll even leave a hint ;))

Everybody say it with me now...

THE DOOOOOOOOR! LOL

Ladies, don't be the moldy apples at the bottom of the tree that anyone can pick and eat. Do you want a real man? Be at the very top, and see how many men truly want to win your heart. It may not be a lot, but then you'll be able to easily find the true male who'll do anything for you. A true gentleman who'll love you. :)

So let the bad boys play around, and the easy apples take all the glory of "attractiveness" for now. Your time will come when they're on their third divorce, while you're out celebrating your tenth anniversary with your one and only lover! (for future reference; Congrats guys, that's a nice accomplishment!!!)

Ladies, let's face it, bad boys are just so overrated!
