I think it prety much boils down to looks and money (and sometimes confidence). The bad boys usually have the one of the first two, and so the third comes naturally. They can afford to misbehave, because they have what women want, and their aloofness makes them more enigmatic, and unattainable, so women want them the more.
If however you dont have looks, or money, and have been often rejected, you'll be timid and lacking confidence. Its a vicious cycle.

Indeed! I always find it pretty funny when women say that they want a "nice" guy and then fall for the total opposite!? The actual % of women wanting this type of guy seems to be almost nil.
It's nothing that they can help really... It's the law of nature if you will. We are not so different in this way from animals. Let's take wild "insert herd beast here" for example. Every herd has an "alpha" male that everyone defers to. He reserves the right to take his pick of mates by rite of being the strongest. The female knows that he is strong, unafraid and can provide and protect thier young. The weaker males are overlooked and ignored. Anyone seeing a pattern here?
In OUR case, you might say, "Well, if females desire security for themselves and thier young ones, then why do women pick these jerks who make no money and eventually leave them AND thier children? It is because of the PERCEIVED strength that said jerk gives off! This is why confidence in a man is SOOOOOO important with women. He gives the illusion that he is strong when that type of guy is actually weak in every way!
What women NEED is a GOOD man that can simply take care of himself and his family and have confidence in himself. They don't NEED bad boys, though many of them get off on the thought of one because of the "thrill" factor! It's EXCITING! Right up until the time something terrible happens because of his badboyedness...
