Bottom line..cause men think that good girls are less likely to leave them and more likely to put up with their BS. A security blanket if I may say.
Now before you ladies and gents get to ranting on me, please hear me out first.
*DISCLAIMER* Good and bad girls can come from any background, make any amount of money, be educated or not, So don't make this a GHETTO GIRL vs BOUGIE GIRL argument please and thanks.
Good Girl: Cares what perception people have of her and what people think of her, doesn't want to seem freaky, doesn't go out much if at all, hangs on to her man's every word.
Bad Girl: Doesn't care what people think, does what she wants when she wants, very confident, doesn't need validation from men to know her worth.
I have wondered and wondered and wondered why some dudes wife up or make "lames" their girlfriends, then get around they mans and nem and get to complaining about how lame their woman is. Trust me, this happens more often than not.(not saying "bad" girls don't get wifed up)
My ex boyfriend was telling me about his boy. How he got married to a lame, he asked him why, his response, simply put "cause I know she won't do anything bad and I know she won't leave me. I don't have to worry about her doing anything".
By "bad" he meant, leave him for better another man. She'll be happy to stay home while he runs the streets. He'll have 100 percent of her trust because her man just wouldn't do that. She'll stick around no matter what. He won't have to worry about another man sweeping her off her feet because she'll be sitting at home anyway waiting on her prince to return.
Scenario: You go out with your girls once a week or twice a week, whatever..maybe every weekend. You meet a nice guy, first thing he want you to do after seeing eachother a while is what? Go ahead, I'll give you a minute. Ready...he will want you to STOP GOING OUT or go out very infrequently. But get this..HE DOESN'T STOP GOING OUT..or makes excuses as to why he "has" to go out with his boys *sigh*..I HATE IT!!!
Some men hide behind the guise that they like good girls cause "no man wants a woman thats out all the time" or some other bullshyt. But truly, what's the reason behind that other than "I don't want my woman out"..DUH..So there is less of a chance of their woman meeting another man and straight rolling out on their sorry ass. There is NO OTHER explanation other than that that I can come up with. If she goes out and is respecting you and not neglecting you, why are you tripping (key words here..not disrespecting you or neglecting you)? Every relationship I have been in, my dudes have tried their darnest to convince me that I shouldn't be going out AT ALL. My last boyfriend even admitted he was afraid that I would meet some other dude (cause he was obviously a terrible boyfriend), he even went as far as to say his next woman will have low self esteem. My ex husband didn't even want me engaging in conversations or debates when we were out with friends. Insecurity is the biggest motivation that men have for choosing the lame/good girl over the bad one.
Also, the good/lame girl stays home making it virtually impossible for her to see what her man is really doing out when he is with his "boys". Good girls are also very predictable. Men always know what good girls are doing so they are easier to control keep up with.
Now I know this isn't true for all men. Sure there are some good guys that match perfectly with these good girls, but most of the time, that's not the case in my experience.
Think about it. A girl with lots of confidence, who is fun, outgoing, social, has lots of friends and aquaintences will NOT put up with the BS that a dude will dish out. She won't NEED or DEPEND on a man for anything especially if he does her dirty. Oh she can and will be loyal and honest, but soon as you cross her SHE IS OUT. "Bad Girls" are harder to "tame" or "control". What average man wants a challenge? Isn't it a lot easier just to have that good girl sitting at home waiting on you and listening to your every lie word.
I am also making this observation because I have been the "other woman" on an occasion or two or more. I was always told how fun I am, exciting, how I make them laugh, how their woman never does that and how I am totally down to earth. Qualities that other men will LOVE about me. Qualities that make men insecure because I can have anyone I want. I no longer believe that I am not "wife material" because I am not a good girl. If anything, I am PERFECT wife material. But you better come correct or not at all cause I'm not taking NO MESS. Period. And..I know that scares off alot of guys.
Do I care, NOPE. I am going to continue being the "bad" girl. Yall can keep getting with those lames.
Holla.....

A lot of emotion behind this one but I think you're missing the mark.
First, whomever you are getting your input from doesn't represent all guys. Everyone has their preferences and I honestly think some dudes' preferences are stupid, but they own it.
Second, guys choose "lames" as you call them (which are probably just homebodies if anything) because it represents the stability they want according to a man. Stability to a woman is a fat wallet and the means to "take care of her." Well, guys aren't worrying about that as much...we want someone who is there. There doesn't mean she's waiting at our every beckon call, but we don't want an attention whore who needs to peruse in public all the time.
There has to be some sort of balance in all of this. I don't think it's all cut and dry with the good girl/bad girl argument.
no emotion...why when a woman rants its "emotional". I just made an observation about "lame" women. Women that men complain about but wife up nonetheless....normally because they are the "safer" choice, less likely to make a fuss and less demanding as other women..
I'm not talking about a man wanting someone who is there..girls who go out can be there for their man.. that has nothing to do with the "good girl" vs the "bad girl"..either can be available for their man, loyal and good.
Just cause a girl likes to socialize doesn't mean that she is an attention whore, no more so than it means that a girl that sits home is insecure
again this is about men who choose women who they don't have fun with, dont really enjoy and complain about all the while up in my face cause I'm "fun"
Well I disagree with your definition of good girl/bad girl first of all. I married a good girl. Her goodness has nothing to do with perceptions other people have about her or going out. Her goodness has all to do with her heart, her sense of responsibility, how she treats loved ones. She's far from lame. She loves to go out as do I but since we have responsibilities like family, work, keeping up the household, etc. we go out once a week and we go out together. She does go out with her friends or co-workers occasionally just as I hang out with my boys on occasion. But we treat each other with mutual respect and we trust each other so we don't have a lot of those problems/
Thanks Lion,
I put "good girl" in quotations for a reason.
Also, my defition for "good girl" "bad girl" are only for this post. There are many versions of "good girl" for different men and woman ..
for instance..I am more than a "good girl" I am a GREAT GIRL!!!
again the definitions provided were exclusive to this posting
Greta post. Though I have some comments :)
I don’t know what the deal is with not wanting your lady to go out but I think that’s crazy. I encourage it; go out, let your hair down and have a good time. As long as she knows where home is…even better if she comes home a little tipsy :)
I say if being the "bad girl" lets you be you, then go for it. As long as you said, you’re not disrespecting or neglecting your man or woman, then go on. Everybody is happier for it.
And yes, I do like a challenge but my goal was never to change the woman from who she was, only to have her see me as the great guy I know I am…and maybe get her to settle down with me. I won.
aww you sound sweet @Three..I see u understand my post..It wasn't a dis to homebodies, it was more of a dis to insecure men who want "lame broads" because they are afraid a "real chick" will leave them
Good post love the way you be expressing yourself...Word of the day is basically CONFIDENCE fellas you got to have a lot of that these days IF you want to wife a fun chick with that "bad girl"persona(which is growing on the majority side now days)until you give them that good love/passion they ass never felt before and then turn into the "good girl" they never thought they was.lol
thanks :) and good point @eaglebird..and I agree to an extent
This is one of my favorite quotes from Sex and the City *dont judge me*
"Maybe some girls aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe
they are supposed to run wild, until they find
someone -- just as wild, to run with."
And confidence is key, I think when men are intimidated by a woman's power over herself, they can result to name calling and labeling to feel better about themselves as a man..calling a woman "loose" cause she has fun is silly
I know bigger freaks who never go ANYWHERE lol
And you are also right that men are moving away from the whole "good girl" thing..whats better is women are moving away from it too, living their lives for them, not to avoid a label
Thanks for posting :)
I agree with you true. I don't know how many guys I have seen pass up a woman that was really into them and in love with them for a woman they thought was more stable, made more money or looked good on paper. Only to then find out all those things never mattered in the first place. Sad! I think i'm a little of both, Good girl and bad. I'm a lady at all times but i don't take BS from no one.
*HI FIVES* DC DEB...The best way to be hun
@ true2me Thats somewhat of what I meant on what you mentioned about that karrie bradshaw quote("yeah I know a lil 'bout SITC and WHAT lol")about women running wild 'til they can find a man that can run wild wit'em,Basically what I was saying was some females tend to fall on the "wildside" and there is always going to be a mate that can make them feel like they ain't done nothing out the ordinary but live there life,wasnt trying to say calm them down just make them more secure in their feelings.
@DC Debutante that situation goes both ways females pass up possible good men because of the same
things,he got to have this,he got to have that,he got to look like this,dress like that,so at the end of the day we all want and think the same thing just a lil different depending on a person prefrences.
P.S Some of you females be on that same bullsh*t too dont make it a oneway when it's a two lane street that's just well..you know illegal.
It sure is a 2 way street @eaglebird..we do the same ish...I wrote plenty of posts on it

It's really funny the reason men do the things they do & think us women are too "dumb" to realize it. I like to play dumb with dudes because I have to see where their head is at. Once I figure that out, I already know what category they are going to be in.
Or maybe there is a biological benefit to the "bad girl" or the "good girl?"
Which one is better at raising kids?
I have always been of the understanding that everything that men and women select for isn't necessarily on the surface. Beauty is arbitrary until you consider that the subtleties of symmetry give us biological clues as to the overall fitness of an individual.
Thanks for the link Monay..I will check it out :)
@Dandini whatever the case of choosing bad or good girls ..its mental....whether from outside, inside, personal experience. I guess I was trying to get into the main factor guys say "good girls" are "better"
Thanks for replying luv

A-f*cking-men. You are my new best friend.
