We've all had a crush on a bad boy before. There's something about them that is just plain irresistible. Of course, it's not always a great idea to get involved with a guy like that. Here are a few bad boy traits you don't actually want in a boyfriend:
1. Dishonest
You can't trust a liar. If you're never sure if the words coming out of his mouth are genuine, it'll be hard to hold a conversation with him.
2. Disloyal
You deserve a man who's loyal. You should be the only woman in his life.
3. Reckless
There's a difference between riding a motorcycle while sober and riding a motorcycle while drunk on icy roads without a helmet. He can be badass without being reckless.
4. Impulsive
You don't want him to impulsively kiss your best friend, just because she looks pretty that day. Impulsiveness isn't always a good thing.
5. Mysterious
Mysteriousness is sexy at first. Of course, after a while, it gets old. Wouldn't you rather date a guy who actually tells you about his life instead of keeping it a secret?
6. Unpredictable
Predictability is boring. However, if he's so unpredictable that you're worried about introducing him to your parents, then there's a problem.
7. Indifferent
If he doesn't care whether or not he sees you, how much could he really like you? You need someone who isn't afraid to admit that he cares.
8. Rough
If he leaves any bruises on you, people are going to ask questions. He should leave a mark on your heart, but not anywhere else.
9. Selfish
If he only cares about himself, then why would he buy you birthday presents or help you with the dishes? He won't have any reason to make your life easier when he only cares about his own.
10. Irresponsible
You need to find someone who will follow through with their promises. Otherwise, you'll never know if he'll actually show up to pick you up from the airport, or if you'll be left stranded.
11. Quick-tempered
If he gets angry over everything, it's a red sign. You don't want that anger to get out of control, because it could end in physical violence.
12. Self-centered
If he thinks he's the center of the universe, it's going to be hard to convince him that other things matter in life.
13. Vain
It's nice to date a sexy guy. It's not as nice when you realize he spends more time looking in the mirror than looking into your eyes.
14. Unreliable
You should be able to say that you trust your partner completely. If you can't rely on him, then you'll never be able to ask him for a favor.
15. Rude
If he's mean to waiters, your mother, or you, then you don't want him in your life. No one deserves such poor treatment.
16. Lazy
Don't date a guy who is unemployed, but isn't even trying to find a job. How would you two ever pay the rent?
17. Sexual
If he's overly sexual, then that means all he cares about is sex. He might be using you to get it.
You don't want to date anyone with an abundance of these qualities. You deserve better. Have you ever been involved with a bad boy?
