{{quote|''I actually ''don't'' think girls like a guy who treats them bad. But I do think they--we--get off a little on the idea of changing someone for the better, or the idea of having ''the power'' that someone loves us so much that he'll change or sacrifice something for us. ... A nice guy doesn't need to change, and, most importantly, ''he's already nice to everyone.'' How do you know that you're special if he treats everyone else with as much kindness and respect as he treats you? The "bad boy" type, though? He may range from simple, garden-variety jackhole (hello, [[Lost|Sawyer]]!) to appalling psychopath (hello, [[The Silence of the Lambs|Dr. Lecter]]!), but you know he loves you because he's completely different around you. You are an exception to his very ''nature.'' This is how "villain" ends up drifting towards "antihero"--[[Dracula]], [[Phantom of the Opera|the Phantom of the Opera]], Spike on ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Buffy]]'', [[Draco in Leather Pants|fanfic!Draco Malfoy]]--but you even see it with straightforward heroes: [[Pride and Prejudice|Mr. Darcy]] and [[Jane Eyre|Mr. Rochester]] are both cold, prickly, withdrawn types until Lizzie Bennet and Jane Eyre arrive, respectively, to bewilder and melt them. ''That's'' the fantasy.'' |'''Cleolinda Jones'''}}

Ouch!"|'''[http://www.theonion.com/articles/irrepressible-bad-boy-slays-seven,450/ Irrepressible Bad Boy Slays Seven]''', ''[[The Onion]]''}}

 

'''Lucy Griffiths:''' Yes, but he's a ''nice-looking'' murderer!|From the DVD commentary of the BBC's ''[[Robin Hood (TV series)|Robin Hood]]'', the actors who played Robin and Marian (both of whom undergo serious [[Ron the Death Eater]] syndrome in certain portions of the fandom) try to understand [[Draco in Leather Pants|Guy of Gisborne]]'s appeal.}}

 

{{quote|"''Woman's heart and mind are insoluble puzzles to the male. Murder might be condoned or explained, and yet some smaller offence might rankle.''"|'''''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''''', "The Adventure of the Illustrious Client"}}
