Despite the many people who insist that good guys do not, in fact, finish last, it seems more and more as though they do. Women worldwide have various personalized requirements for what they deem "relationship material" and although, most do not intentionally seek out a partner who may potentially hurt them emotionally, attraction has no mercy any of us, whether looking for love or not.

So how do girls begin liking boys that are considered, well, bad? You can argue that one can predict a girl will chase only after bad boys later in life if she rooted for bleach-blond, bad bloke, Malfoy in "Harry Potter" instead of captain-save-a-witch, Harry, as a kid.

You might even examine the girl, you know, ask if she has "daddy issues" or if she is a miserable person herself. Maybe it goes further than that. Maybe only after Justin Beiber became tattooed and belligerent did you realize that a boy like that was hard to come by and you had to find yourself one ASAP.

All jokes aside, the only near-scientific explanation we seem to have as to why good guys finish last is that bad boys are often more confident, exciting and mysterious than good boys.

The guy in front of you at the coffee shop with the face tattoo and scowl across his face: mysterious hunk or serial murderer? It makes you wonder. Which is what not only girls, but all people, thrive for: wonder and excitement.

So are good guys just boring? No. The definitions of "boring" and "exciting" vary from person to person. Confidence, excitement and a way with words are all traits in a significant other which many of us crave. Whether or not those traits are only exhibited in what society labels as "bad boys," depends entirely on one's perception. I suppose the "Why do good guys always finish last?" question will remain a relationship conundrum.
