ok ive been wondering this for a while and though it may have been asked or may sound kinda cliched which do women prefer to date the "dangerous" impulsive type, or the Sweet gentleman who thinks things through before doing them.

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

now this changes for every women. it would be wrong to generalize the answer.

as for me, i do prefer dangerous type. bad boys were always interesting and appealing for me. with them there is always fun factor that i am so eager to have. they are just entertaining to be together with.

and i always found sweet gentlemen boring. *no offense* but that is probably because they are really slow to make a move while i am impatient most of the time.

and one more thing, most of my friends say something similar to this: "bad boys are to have fun while sweet boys are to fall in love."

I like people who thinks/plans before doing things (partly because I'm impulsive enough and I prefer someone who's not). Buuut, "sweet gentleman" type seems suspicious for some reason... Like he's not acting naturally, more like playing a role O_O Erm, so neither?

Okay~
Most people seem to wear contacts when they are out, and glasses at home. I wear glasses when I'm out, and take them off when I get home.
So as long as my glasses go with my outfit, I think I'm safe


I've always thought that the sweet gentleman is nice to everyone. So how the heck do you know he's into you? He acts nicer? He's nice to everyone! Versus a bad boy will do things only for you, and it's easier to see the attention on you and for you.

Well that's going off of stereotypes a bit. But do you get what I'm saying?

I was always personally drawn to the sweet gentleman type.
I actually recall telling one guy that the reason I chose him over his friends (whom I all met at the same time) was specifically because he was the nicest and most thoughtful of them all and I was attracted to that. He was feeling down/self-conscious and didn't believe that people saw him that way, so I had to say it outright.

I wonder occasionally what happened to him, because it was right after that when I moved away from the area for a job. I think he was apprehensive because he had a young son to take care of, and I was 22 at the time and he wasn't sure how I would take it. He was in his late 20s. (I only met his son once. He didn't warn me beforehand, either. I not sure if it was a test or what.)

Nice question.. As for myself, I've always been attracted to the "dangerous" type. I'm an impulsive person myself and love to have fun, with these guys that is something given. I don't know if I'd be able to stand someone quiet. Even though sweet and thoughtful guys are nice, they just don't go with my personality.

it depends. i really like the nice guys, but there is something about those bad boys i think i am more attracted to them but...
you know the saying "date them but don't marry them" or something like it

Sweet gentleman for me. But I don't think all men fall into only two stereotypes. I guess I have to be wary of those who look like gentlemen but are actually dangerous jerks inside (e.g. cheaters, abusers, etc).

Man are you right about that. "Sweet Gentleman" is a hard position to fill, as is "Dangerous Impulsive Type".

I don't understand why a girl would want to be with a 'dangerous' guy at all, but all of the 'dangerous' guys I've seen in my city are functionally retarded so I guess I'm not exactly witnessing the cream of the crop.

Well, I wanted to say the "dangerous impulsive types" I've seen are rude, retarded and unattractive but I wouldn't because everybody on here may have different definitions of what "dangerous" is. Maybe it's the impulsiveness in one's personality makes him funny and attractive? I guess it will depend on the individual.

Neither is really "my type", but given the choice between the two...I'd choose the sweet gentleman. Dangerous & impulsive has some appeal, but also tends to have rather unpleasant consequences. Sweet gentleman might expect me to be a sweet, polite, conventional lady, though and that....wouldn't last long.

I suppose what i meant by "dangerous and impulsive" was the type that seem to be, excuse the language, assholes to everyone around them but still somehow get girlfriends. and by
"sweet gentlemen" i meant something alng the lines of the "nice guy" to one that everyone says would be someone great to date or marry and stuff like that always helping other ect.

i hope that makes sense lol

Perfect explanation.

And i sense women in general prefer dating the first type until 20s-mid 20s, then change to the second type.

So what makes someone a bad boy or a sweet gentleman? I suspect I'd probably fall in the later if you mean things like opening the door, giving them my seat/jacket, walking on the outside of the curb. Kinda sucks that it seems that all the girls prefer the bad boy type. I was raised to be nice to women
