Men Say They Want A Good Woman, But Chase Bad Girls


I can't tell you how many R&B and Rap songs I've heard where men talk about wanting a "Bad Chick".  Yet, when you sit them down and ask them to evaluate what they really want, they say they want a "Good Woman".  I don't know about you, but it seems to me that some contradictions are going on here.  How can a woman be bad and good at the same time?  Does a woman like this even exist?

Lets first identify what men mean when they use both terms.  How does one describe a "bad bitch"?  What qualities must a woman have to be "bad"?  Well, from my experience, a bad bitch's qualities and value derive mostly from her looks.  She has a flat stomach, big butt, nice thighs and long hair.  Her makeup is always on point, hair and nails did, and she rocks the latest fashions, including status bags (Louis Vuitton, Gucci, etc.) and has a "mean" shoe game.  Yeah, that sounds like a bad bitch to me.  What else can we say about a "bad bitch"? Well, she's independent, has game and knows how to get what she wants.  Yup, that seems about right.

On the contrary, lets take a look at the true meaning behind a "good woman".  A good woman is loyal, respectable, honest, genuine and kind.  She isn't necessarily solely driven by her outer appearance as far as rocking the latest trends or the most expensive "red bottoms" because she is more focused on managing her money properly, pursuing education and/or running her household.  That being said, it doesn't mean that she has to look homely or out of date.  She can still rock the looks that compliment her figure and features and this is what makes her attractive.  Basically, her priorities are straight.  She is a good representation of herself, her man, and her family and she has values and morals that lead her through life with purpose.

If you take a look at both descriptions, they seem to be quite the opposites, however, one man seemingly wants all of these qualities in one woman.  If you ask me, this man who wants his cake and wants to eat it too is misguided and confused.  No wonder there are so many so-called "good men" who can't find a "good woman".  Could it be because his priorities aren't straight or is it that he doesn't even really know what he wants and values or even further, what he needs?

I think to a certain extent music and entertainment have brainwashed many into thinking that the bad bitch is the prize and the ultimate goal of attainment.  The bad bitch is much more of a trophy than the good woman who has the power to add true value to a man's life.  The good woman may not be the baddest, but when did we get so screwed up that the terms "bad" and "good" became the opposite of what they truly represent.

If you ask me, a good balance of both would be optimal, but to find that in a nice pretty package is extremely rare.  So it looks like we are at a standstill; Nudged between what a man wants and what he really needs.  I honestly suggest these men who are stuck in this relationship rut do some real soul searching to determine what they really want/need out of life and further, out of their life partner.  Then maybe, just maybe, we can all meet half way and everyone can be happy with the balance of what they want, need and have.

Have you ever thought of reevaluating what you want and need out of a relationship?

  1. Oooohhh, this is a great blog Maya. You truly broke it down on this one. I think men don't even realize that the two contradict. I think sometimes they truly believe that a woman can be that bad bitch that all his friends will envy when out... and about, and then they'll flip the script and be this wholesome, loving, responsible woman that can hold down a house and compromise a part of herself for the good of the relationship/family. When a woman isn't all of it, good men are disappointed...they want a "good woman" for themselves and they want a "bad bitch" more for their egos around their friends. A "bad bitch" increases their social value, but a "good woman" fills the internal spiritual cup. Men decide which is more important according to their immediate need....

  2. Because to say you want a good woman is the "right" thing to say. its the "right" thing to say to get your foot in the door when first meeting a woman. Saying and Doing are two totally different things...the reality is if a man wants a "bad girl" its because there is something about him that is attracted to that type.. the "good woman" shouldn't care too much about the "bad girl" wanting man because he isnt for her.

  3. I don't know many grown men who seek bad girls! If you're referring to bad as being arm candy and freaks(no holds barred) in bed.....that's a different story. We like classy women who are generous, appreciative and independent and an absolute freak in the sheets. Well.....I know I do!
