When I think Bad Boy, I think about the character Sawyer on the television show Lost.
He’s attractive, rough around the edges, tough on the outside with an I-don’t-care attitude, but feels deeply. He acts uncaring and can come off as aloof or even dangerous, but he’s a guy you can trust if you’re lucky enough to get close to him.
Having said all that – and exposed my obvious crush on the fictional Sawyer – it seems that Bad Boys come in many forms.
Some characteristics such as being protective and tough and attractive appear to be universal. But, I’d say a guy doesn’t have to ride a motorcycle or work with his hands to be a Bad Boy.
He can wear a business suit and go to an office each day so long as he has that attitude. That streak and underlying pulse of danger in some way.
Hello HelenKay, glad you are here. I have read your novella in When Good Things Happen to Bad Boys, and I really enjoyed it, thanks.
mmm….yummy! He’s my favorite bad boy, too.
I have never seen the show but I really like that picture ;).
Sawyer is a hottie but … I’m a Jack girl all the way! 😛
Kris – Thank you!!
And, yeah, I love Sawyer, too…
