Our dating experts guide readers step-by-step through relationship challenges and romantic decisions in our popular series of advice articles.

To me, there is nothing sexier than a man who strikes the perfect balance of good guy/bad boy. There is something alluring about a man who has a sincere desire to do good but struggles with bad boy behavior.

Guys, if you are looking to find a middle ground for the coexisting polarities in your personality, it’s easier said than done. One will usually take precedence and come to the forefront more frequently than the other.

If you’re naturally more bad than good, guess which one will win? If you’re naturally more good than bad, your good guy will feel guilty about your bad boy behavior. My advice is to do your very best to be a good guy without being a pushover.

You may need to get counseling or read a few self-help books. No matter what, don’t be too clingy or needy, and give good chase when a woman is pursuing you.

Deep down, women want to be with a good man, but we are repelled by weak men who let us use them as an emotional punching bag.
