To see what sort of (primarily, male against male) violence the female attraction to ‘bad boys’ is breeding in Mexico

It seems a little more likely that the violence is a result of the huge amount of money at stake in the drug trade rather than a bid to get some.

Hateful men and hateful women, nice guys the victims of both.

I've no idea how the question was worded in spanish, but in the translation it's "...dream of having a romance with a drug trafficker." I dream and fantasize and daydream about all kinds of things, like dropping out and backpacking across asia or throwing a brick through the windshield of the guy who cuts me off or hitting on the 19 year old cuties on campus - it doesn't mean I actually do those things.

Like I said, I don't know what the spanish original question was and maybe these girls are saying they would seriously date a gangster if they had the chance, but there are other explanations for that poll response than these women contributing to a violent society.

It's only obvious -- if a culture is full of violent criminals, it is not only the men driving that but the women as well.

Women promoting male crime and violence! Women's true nature, by their genetic pre-disposition.

They want to rich bad guy, not the honest boring accountant. Much less the office boy or honest hard working street cleaner.

Women are attracted to status, i.e. they are attracted to men other men respect and fear because they can't make up their own mind and can't have an opinion for themselves.

A man doing anything, like playing with balls, sitting at the computer, pushing and taking drugs, making music, tinkering and inventing ... they pretty much are all considered pathetic losers ... until other men start congratulating and cheering and respecting or fearing them, or they think other men admire them. Then they get all tingly.

I admit, would be pretty fun/exiting to date a drug dealer if its just something casual, and free drugs is always a bonus ;D haha definitely not the sort of man you aim for if you are looking for a serious relationship tho.

I would imagine this situation is more of a result of all the horrible gang violence and the girls néed to feel safe as opposed to a désire for "bad boys"

I will not ask how this is related to Men's Rights.
