The problem the bad boys bring, the tension. Everything.<br /><br />I love bad boys myself (in stories, not in my real life). I prefer a plain and happy life than too much trouble =)Freya Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273946420593158532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838369237362859018.post-73550627199918622102010-10-12T00:49:51.455-04:002010-10-12T00:49:51.455-04:00Ya heroines falling for the jerk hero annoys me to...Ya heroines falling for the jerk hero annoys me to no end! Teen girls somehow are very attracted to the "moody mysterious bad boys". I find it disturbing how young girls find this a perfect romance.Authors still continue to create such stories because the truth is it sells like hotcakes!Mishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06987790171985663765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838369237362859018.post-20268376159964334822010-10-11T16:09:15.914-04:002010-10-11T16:09:15.914-04:00Great question this week!

There are plenty of adults who fall for the bad boy too (*cough*me*cough*)<br /><br />I'm more curious about why YA authors write about heroines who turn into a puddle of idiotic hormones (for a good portion--and sometimes even the entire--of the book) the second a hottie walks on stage. I think that's more of an issue than falling for the bad boy in a lot of YA books.Tori [Book Faery]https://www.blogger.com/profile/10814935817409616951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838369237362859018.post-19078236401038035972010-10-11T11:29:24.303-04:002010-10-11T11:29:24.303-04:00Well, teenage girls always prefer bad boys-"h...Well, teenage girls always prefer bad boys-"he's a punk?I wuv him!"- kinda deal, to sweet and good guys who are seen only as friends and nothing more till they're 20, or older.That's high school's status quo pretty much.<br /><br />However, I think there is an equal number of books out there,in which the boy the girl falls for is kinda and funny and caring.Of course, these guys are totally whipped so they instantly lose the smidgeon of cool they had to begin with.<br /><br />Truth is, teenage girls are drown to bad boys and jerks like moth to a flame and it's only when they're a little older and want a more serious relationship that they look for nice guys.A Story Untoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07904185201569328227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838369237362859018.post-41851302201568088152010-10-11T10:30:31.236-04:002010-10-11T10:30:31.236-04:00It's funny because when I met my husband, he a...It's funny because when I met my husband, he acted all bad and I swore I had fallen for a bad boy when I found out that it was all a front and he probably is the sweetest guy on earth.<br /><br />I think girls are attracted to those bad boys.. not to mention they seem to know how to get the girl more easily than the good guy does.. just makes sense I guess. <br /><br />I have more of a problem with the guys that disappear, reappear and all the heroine does is pine after him.

Definitely as a teen I was drawn to bad boys and many of them screwed me over, but they were just much more fun. Nowadays, I like nice guys...with an edge. Much better!<br /><br />I have a problem with females in YA who turn to goo the moment they hook up with their guy though. Don't start me on that!Leanna Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156147175772720617noreply@blogger.com
