Tell me why?

When it comes down to it,

You know you always...

Pick the ripest of the berries.

The biggest scoop of ice cream,

The best of every brand,

The one that looks the greatest,

The things that get you places,

So tell me why you aren’t consistent

Tell me why you can’t pick the best

When it comes to men,

You want the one who’ll break your heart.

You choose the worst, and they live up to their standard.

Why go for the bad boy?

When the good boy is right next to you?

Where he’s been all along.

Yes mam, this is sooo true. Though the truth is we ladies have no idea what we want. We go for the bad boys because they are unpredictable, and we seem to think it will make life better yet in reality it is only more stress. I think I finally have my good boy on lock and I will be keeping him for a long long time :D Great write I love it

Yes! I've seen so many instances where this is so plainly obvious. Pretty and smart girls fall for those who will only break their hearts, and it pains me because there are way better, and tears should not be shed. I really liked the theme of this, the yearning, the confusion. Girls are weird sometimes, but a one sided love is the worst. Great write!

I like this. Great question that doesn't seem to have an answer.

I love this one.

I like this. I have always said that women befriend gentlemen and go home with jerks.

Sad as it may be, the good guy tends to be boring. It's messed up but so many girls feel that way. It's a shame too.

Bad boys are good at some of the things that drive us crazy - and that is why some girls keep chasing the wrong boys.

Because that's how women are. There's a need no good guy can fill.

Even one of our teachers said that. Every girl tends to pick the badass guy instead of the angel dork sitting in the corner. In my opinion I don't really care about the type as long as he doesn't do drugs or all that crap, but this poem sums up on a girl's first opinions on their dream boy. Even the hero seems to be the bad boy, and the ones who get unnoticed are the ones who are truly good. Guys don't have to watch as much when picking a girl, but girls need to watch who they're dreaming about. Well said and done :V

Ugh this happens all the time. People make the wrong choice so easily, it's stupid! But you know what they say, "To err is human" :/
