As a self-proclaimed single girl, who knows what she likes not just in a guy, but in the bedroom, I find that beer chugging, drug infused bearded men are exactly the kind of guys I go for. They’re loud, egotistical and most of the time, horribly arrogant. And yet I continue to date them. So why do I put myself through the trials tribulations of dating these absolute fucktards? Why don’t I go for the good guys? The guys that take me out to dinner, want to meet my parents and don’t have overwhelming commitment issues. Although I know i’m not the only one. Time after time I receive tearful phonecalls from my heartbroken girlfriends who’ve fallen for a guy who is a complete dickhead. Why do we all do it? Us twenty-somethings are addicted to the bad boy. It seems that no matter how many bad boys we go though, we just won’t and will not learn. So why do we always go for the bad boy? Let me break it down to you…
Dates
The Gentleman: This Gent will pick up you up on time, take you to somewhere classier than Eddie Rockets and even pick up the cheque. He’s mannerly, good fun and adorably nervous. He’s cute.
The Dickhead: You’ll meet this guy for drinks around 9 in the evening, or even after a night out. But you never know what’s in store. The stories this guy has is comparable to Russell Brand. He’s probably in a band or an actor or something, has a beard and is dangerously charming. After the date it’s straight to his mate’s insane party, an underground or simply off to the bedroom.
Winner: For me, it’s the dickhead. The Gentleman is great, but he’s cute. My fanny doesn’t flutter for cute guys. Any twenty-something single girl prefers a night of thrills, adventure, always curious to know wants going to happen next. The dickhead has this massive façade of confidence and is up for a very verygood time. And who doesn’t love a good time?
Parties
The Gentleman: Whether he brought you here or you met him here, you can be sure that the Gentleman will introduce to his friends, fetch you a drink and help you find you coat at the end of the night. However, if you’re a bit of a social butterfly, you’ll find that talking to new people means the Gentleman will be respectfully distant, but not too happy. More often than not in my experience the Gentleman will shyly make himself known to be the guy that you’re seeing. It’s not that you weren’t telling people on purpose, it’s just that you’ve only been seeing each other a few weeks and there’s more to you than that.
The dickhead: This guy knows how to party, like really fucking party. The dickhead will briefly introduce you to his friends, at the very most, before continue getting absolutely smashed. You see, with the dickhead, nothing is more important to him than to have a good time. If he’s having fun then he doesn’t have to face all the shit going on in his head. On the plus side for the single twenty-something year old, he is a blast to be with. You’ll find yourself taking a shots of God knows what, and being offered God knows what. And you can be sure if any other guy is hitting on you, the dickhead will make himself known. Another thing about the dickhead, is that he does probably really like you and care about you. But he always cares more about having fun.
Winner: I don’t know about you, but I’m a girl who likes a good time and free will, so the Gentleman is a bit of a mild experience for me. So why the dickhead? Because he’s great to party with, he’s funny, he can play Wonderwall on the guitar and he gives you the room to find your own fun.
Concerts/Gigs
The Gentleman: The gentleman is great for concerts, once he has a few pints in him to ignite his confidence. Once he’s on his way you have a blast with him. It’s so great to see the Gentleman out of his shell and be able to be himself around you. And for those slow songs, no doubt he’ll have his arms around you with a shy grin on his face. Awwwwww…
The Dickhead: The dickhead is no doubt high off his tits on drugs, not to mention completely wasted. You can just by the pure intensity in his eyes just how much he’s enjoying this gig. That’s before he disappears into the crowd, leaving you alone with the pity friend* (this person is not particularly cared about by his “friends”, but hangs around with them anyway to appear cool) of his group. You’ll probably get a call after the gig wondering where you went… I didn’t go anywhere you dickhead. 
Winner: Definitely has to be the Gentleman for a concert/gig. Not say all bad boys are as disloyal, it’s just they get caught up in the moment. Which is great fun for them, however you did come here with this person and no one likes being abandoned. The Gentleman has a lot more appeal in this situation. Sweet and good fun, he may even stray you away from the bad boys.
Meeting the Parents
The Gentleman: Is an absolute gent when introducing themselves to your Mother. A little nervous, but hey who isn’t nervous meeting someone else’s parents? Depending on mutual interests to establish a good impression is overlooked by acting mannerly on both parts, so you never really need to worry about your parents liking them.
The Dickhead: First off, if you getting this bloke to meet your parents is hard enough work in itself. The dickhead is a total commitment-phobe, with the acceptable of his dedication to having the craic. If this does happen however, it really boils down to how conservative your parents are. If Mom and Dad were hippies back in the day then you’ll probably be alright, if not… well good luck with that.
Winner: The Gentleman takes the trophy for meeting the parents. He’s polite, respectful and mannerly, how could the parents not like him?
Sex
The Gentleman: In my experience, sex tends to mean something for the Gentleman. This is not a guy who finds no joy in one night stands. So when he’s about to hop into bed with you, he’s a little timid. He means well, it’s just that he can be so focused on trying to please that the sex almost becomes mechanical. With more emphasis based on technique than passion.
The Dickhead: The Dickhead is 100% passionate. Chemistry just ignites between the two of you, and the sex is usually awesome. The only problem is, is that you’re both drunk when you do it. So everything is just blurry the next day. Morning sex usually makes or breaks whether or you two have actually chemistry.
Winner: The Dickhead. As I said the Dickhead is all about having a good time, so when getting down with the bad boy, you’re in for one hell of a ride. Not to say the Gentleman is terrible in bed, but compared to the sheer amount of excitement and who doesn’t want passionate, sensory overdrive, awesome sex?
The Craic
The Gentleman: Of course at the end of the day it’s come down to your personality. And the Gentleman isn’t a bore, neither are those who date them. The craic with the Gentleman is pretty normal. In the sense that you’ll talk about your interests and genuinely listen to what you have to say. If the chemistry is right than you’ll have a blast with them.
The Dickhead: What you study, work as or do really outside of drinking and hanging doesn’t really concern them. They love a good story, and living the life as a young singleton has left you with a few hundred weird and wonderful stories. The stories the Dickhead comes out with are absolutely insane.
Winner: This one i’m afraid is down to you. Personally the Gentleman, although good fun, is just a tad bit underwhelming for me. The Dickhead offers so much excitement and has just done so many crazy shit that you can’t help but be more entertained.
Conclusion
So why I believe the bad boy (usually) comes out on top is because they offer us much more excitement and mystery than the lovely Gentlemen. Not to completely disregard the nice guys, they’re the ones with their heads screwed on. But just because they’re good, doesn’t mean we should date them. Your twenty-somethings are for random parties, having adventures and having a good time. And who knows a better time than the bad boy? So until the time where we’re ready to calm down, it’s the bad boys we’ll continue to go for.
