As men are ‘hard-wired’ to respond/be attracted to physical beauty (symmetry of features across cultures),
women are ‘hard-wired’ to respond to STRENGTH.
The *bad boy* triggers wimmenz lizard brain/libido, to the extent that they allow themselves to be driven by their baser desires (forebrain is shunted aside - not considering that bad boy would not, in fact, be a steady provider) -
the same way in reverse,
as David was Bathsheba’d
and
Samson was Delilah’d...
Apparently, young, attractive women send a message to men that they are healthy and fertile. That’s what I’ve read anyway.
