any help?

i'm writing a piece on why woman are attracted to bad boys/ assholes. I've the main ideas, some psychology and a few pieces of literature to back it up, but i was just wondering if anyone could think of any other men in literature or film that are assholes that women love?

Comments:
Classic... Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights, total asshole with only redeeming feature that he loved Cathy.

Then theres always the "mr Darcy" factor. Throughout the book he presents as nothing but a snobbish, aloof and arrogant prick... then she sees hes house, finds him a little shy and bingo... im in love.

One of my favourites is in a japanese classic called Musashi, where everyone falls in love with him, despite the fact that he is, by and large, a selfish bloodthirsty killer who leaves them all in the lurch, and who openly declares hes more love for his sword than he ever could for a woman.

Sylvia Plath for Ted Hughes? She knew he did nothing but suck her will to live and doubt any talent she had... ended up killing herself for it (not that she was a particularly well puppy to begin with).

... there are hudreds...
 
Haha - I'll just go with the popular stuff that everyone knows

Indiana Jones
Joey (10 things)
James Bond

geez that was weak - i'm sure I could come up with more than that
 
hah.

well, 10 things is based on 'the taming of the shrew', so there's another one...
 
After you're done with that piece, why don't you write a peice on how nice guys usually get screwed over by girls who like bad boys/assholes.

Now that would be interesting to read from a woman's perspective.

Anyway, good luck with your article.
 
nice guys getting screwed over and why girls prefer the bad boys seems pretty synonymous to me, but okay hun...

maybe i'll just straight out tell you my theories one day.
 
do we get to read this piece of work?
