BUT, i guess bad boys were alluring to me because of their persona and whatnot. and also the whole opposites attract thing. being a shy, quiet, good girl type, i liked boys who would compliment that - which would be loud, outgoing, bad boys.
now, even though i've moved on from my bad boy phase, i still will always stand up for the bad boys. they need love too!! now, i guess it all depends on what kind of bad boys you mean -- cuz i would never go for being in a relationship with a man who didn't respect me and treated me dirty. that just couldn't happen. that's a BAD relationship - and those who seem like nice guys to the rest of the world can be guilty of that too.. like all them domestic **** cases where everyone else thinks the husband is perfect. but sometimes, a guy might seem bad to the world but have the best heart. aiight, maybe i'm biased.. cuz the first guy i fell in love with was bad. suspended from school, expelled probably... smoked, sold that stuff, got in fights... i even seen him get carried out of school by a police officer once. and i don't know even everything he did... but i do know that he stole my heart and i'd prefer him over the best 'good guy' i know. maybe that's not reasonable, but it's real life. love isn't concerned with reason.
I totally agree with you. You can't control who you fall in love with but you can control how you are respected in the situation.
