"Bad boys"... yeah, I tend to love 'em... but why?

The "Bad Boy"....
I admit it. I have, on occasion, been attracted to the bad boy type. I will be the first to admit that the whole bad boy look gets to me. But why? Why would I be attracted to anything that had been labeled "bad". After reviewing a few things from my past, I have come to the following conclusion (aside from the fact that I love tattoos and bikes, lol)...  Bad boys are safe. Yes, I am fully aware of just how ridiculous this sounds. Believe me... I have thought long and hard about that statement. But, in my opinion they are safe. The whole world knows just how much of a romantic sap I am. I would rather find a true and lasting love then win a million dollars. So, why, if I am looking for that kind of love would I be attracted to the bad boys? The guys that are known to be heart breakers... I have asked myself this repeatedly and the only explanation that I can come up with is the fact that "bad boys" are so much safer than the "good guys". I hate it, but many of the "good guys" that I have met this past year have turned out to be "bad boys" in disguise. Which, in the end, is so much harder to deal with in my opinion. They are like wolves in sheep's clothing. Seemingly innocent, and just when you aren't looking, they attack. It catches you off guard. It is easier to deal with an attack when you are prepared for it... when you have your guard up. I honestly believe that there are still some genuinely good guys out there, its just a matter of being able to see past the mask that most people wear. 
Anyways, just a thought.

"I Bruise Easily" Natasha Bedingfeild

My skin is like a map, of where my heart has been
And I can't hide the marks, but it's not a negative thing
So I let down my guard, drop my defenses, down by my clothes
I'm learning to fall, with no safety net, to cushion the blow
I bruise easily, so be gentle when you handle me
There's a mark you leave, like a love heart carved on a tree
I bruise easily, can't scratch the surface without moving me
Underneath
I bruise easily, I bruise easily
I've found your fingerprints on a glass of wine
Do you know you're leaving them all over this heart of mine, too
But if I never take this leap of faith, I'll never know
So I'm learning to fall with no safety net to cushion the blow
I bruise easily, so be gentle when you handle me
There's a mark you leave, like a love heart carved on a tree
I bruise easily, can't scratch the surface without moving me
Underneath
I bruise easily, I bruise easily
Anyone who
Can touch you
Can hurt you
Or heal you.
Anyone who
Can reach you
Can love you
Or leave you...
So be gentle
So be gentle
So be gentle
So be gentle
I bruise easily, so be gentle when you handle me
There's a mark you leave, like a love heart carved on a tree
I bruise easily, can't scratch the surface without moving me
Underneath
I bruise easily,
I bruise easily, so be gentle when you handle me
There's a mark you leave, like a love heart carved on a tree
I bruise easily, can't scratch the surface without moving me
Underneath
I bruise easily, I bruise easily
I bruise easily
I bruise easily

Truth of the day.
