Bad girls do exist and they're alive and well!?

Question

Recently there has been a lot of hype about bad boys and their personality traits. They ( the experts?) say those characteristics don't exist in women - narcissism, machievelian, sociopathic tendancies. Are they kidding?? What about all the serious golddiggers out there, i've known and know loads, and they're a lot more cunning than most percieved bad boys. The findings were the results of a huge survey and test programme in the US. Do you think it might have something to do with a bit of female fibbing perhaps?

Answer 1

the survey could only measure what people noticed/ were willing to admit. Most of the sneaky manipulation from women goes unnoticed.. often even by the perpetrator.. they think it's just normal to subtly ruin someone's self esteem in order to get them to cheat on their wife

whereas the bale bad boy traits are more visible.

Answer 2

i am a woman :),  i am not a golddigger, but will  admit to having  at least one of those characteristics. i`m a scorpio though so maybe thats why

Answer 3

I suggest that the surveyors visit Basingstoke in Hampshire on a Friday night! That might change their minds.

Answer 4

Surveys are frequently biased.  It has always been my contention that the people that the surveys are reaching aren't always the most knowledgeable.  Frankly, the last three times I was asked to take a telephone survey I became annoyed and asked the interviewer for a signed purchase order for services at $100/hr. I knew I wouldn't get it but my feelings were if this person is going to waste my time then I'm going to waste theirs.  That raises the question of why anyone would agree to take the survey in the first place.  What's their motive?  Ego?  Unemployed and looking for ways to kill time?  Were the respondents trained people watchers? Probably not.

I'm sure you see where I'm going with this.
