Women are the most mysterious creatures; they tend to do actions which others can never explain. And contradictory to what many people think women do not always want a nice guy. Maybe in an earlier era women wanted simple and nice men; but not today. Therefore, many people will now spot the most attractive women, with a bad boy. Ever wonder how these attractive women, end up with a jerk of a man? May be when we say women are hard to understand, this is why one cannot understand their nature and their hidden criteria to find the man of their life. There are many theories, reasons and observations as to why women are attracted to a jerk.

This can be so frustrating!

Jerks tend to be stronger, verbal and macho. Such qualities make women go crazy. They’re selfish, inconsiderate and straightforward nature shows women that they are strong individuals. And since, women adore protection; they are attracted men who have more capability of providing them protection. A man’s ability to provide protection for a woman means a higher chance of survival for her and her future children. Such men aren’t push over, they tend to control a situation and get what they want always; they are never taken advantage of. Such men are also dominant and tend to be assertive also; these qualities attract women even more. The feeling of being protected and guarded by such a man motivates women to date them.

Jerks are mysterious; one can never really pin point what they are thinking. This mystery tends to excite women and makes them curious about their personality. Jerks also like to take risk and try new things; thus women can never know what to expect from them. Women who date jerks are engaging in a constant challenge, as they are trying to figure out what these men are thinking. Their personality, strengths, weakness, likes, dislikes all are appealing to women; it’s their dark side that has women going nuts. Women get bored with men who are an open book for everyone; they need drama to keep themselves occupied. And most importantly, jerks are not fake all the time. They are upfront about their likes and dislikes and make it very clear to the woman that they are involved with. Jerks can be ruthless, because they are not afraid of what comes next. Therefore, women tend to admire them honestly and fall for them.

However, several theories suggests that women do not choose to be attracted to jerks; in their minds and hearts they are looking for Mr. perfect; but they are just naturally attracted to the above qualities in a man. Therefore, for women such attraction just happens. Other theories even state that no one can determine what factors bound to attract certain individuals; attraction cannot be pin pointed. But according to research, for the above stated reasons, women tend to fall for jerks. Of course there are other reasons as well, and women will not always be attracted to these specific qualities only. These are merely common reasons that have been observed.
