Why do women like bad boys instead of nice guys?

[Black Dragon]

To be completely honest and transparent, I've felt that way about this exact situation at times in my life. While there's aspects of it that still aren't 100% healed, I have to say, the perspective I have about it now days is basically what everyone here was so gracious to explain. This is confusions and stuff at play caused by the conditions of veiling and people's own baggage and karma, and no one gender is at fault. Other responders to this thread have went into the energy dynamics and some psychological aspects of the situation as well or better than I could have, but there's something I'd like to add; Lyssa Royal Holt's material always warns of the seductiveness and trap of polarity. It's not so much talking about STO and STS(which is the only polarity choice that truly matters). It's referring to what I've decided to call lesser polarity conflicts, you know; political left vs political right, masculine vs feminine, "religious" vs "secular" up down left right f*** it, you get the picture, it's NOISE. The key to getting past that bullshit is to learn to differentiate the "signal" from the "noise". I know it's easier said than done, because it's a process I'm still working on myself and I've got a hell of a lot of room for improvement.
