That's because scientists have discovered that women are, in fact, naturally attracted to the 'bad guys', but men actually like their women to be kind and faithful.

Apparently, we like nothing better than to bag a deceitful, nasty, self-obsessed narcissist. And they like nothing better than using those traits to get us in the sack.

So what do women see in them? Entertaining, charming--at least initially--sexually assertive, not demanding, cocky, thrill seeking, and impulsive in a way we can enjoy vicariously (and temporarily). They leave in the morning and we are not heartbroken, quite possibly relieved at not having to attend an excruciatingly boring work-barbeque or to contend with an upright toilet top. Tell me you think Kate Moss is surprised at rocker Pete Doherty's behavior. Pamela shocked at Tommy Lee's? Irritated, sure, but surprised? Nah.

When it comes to bad boys, good girls just don't stand a chance.

According to research coming out of New Mexico University, men who are narcissistic, manipulative and non-empathetic are more likely than the nice guy-next-door to have frequent sex with multiple partners.

“OMG - the bad boy complex! Do you know HOW many women are absolutely wrecked by this same thing? I know I suffered from it for many years (and now consider myself in remission!).

You know what I think it is? Its all about attraction. We say we WANT the nice guy, but we are ATTRACTED to the bad boy. It like its evolution-based. Survival of the fittest, you know? the bad boy actually represents what we want our genetics to BE. He is the “alpha male”, the strong one, the survivor and the winner. The “nice guy” - who we want mentally, is not necessarily the strongest.”
