‘Women love bad men’

Standard People
It’s said so often that it’s a cliché — women love bad men. But it turns out that there is a science behind the notion.

Rihanna and Chris Brown are said to be preparing to get married after the singer allegedly proposed to his former girlfriend.

Despite Chris dating model Karrueche Tran, he reportedly got down on one knee to childhood sweetheart Rihanna last year. According to Star magazine, the couple are planning on announcing the shocking news at an engagement party.

“(Chris) proposed in November, but (Rihanna) said she wasn’t ready . . . But she finally accepted the proposal in late February,” the magazine claims.

“She’s not wearing a ring until they can announce it at an engagement party, but Rihanna’s already told her friends and family that she’s engaged.”

Rihanna’s former nanny, Sharon Bellamy-Thompson, claims that the singer is flying her out to Los Angeles for a special party at the end of March.This sounds a little ridiculous to us . . .do you believe it?

National Review writer Kevin D Williamson pointed out, however, that she may not be able to help it — because it’s in her genes to like men like Brown.

During a discussion this week on an American public radio, human rights lawyer Arsalan Iftikhar expressed his surprise that singer Rihanna still reportedly likes Brown, who he said “didn’t only hit Rihanna, he made her look like Buster Douglas”.

He cited several pieces of research that back up his view, including the much quoted Dark Triad work of Professor Peter Jonason.

This combines the self-obsession of narcissism, the impulsive, thrill-seeking and callous behaviour of the psychopath and the deceitful and exploitative nature of Machiavellianism.Unattractive as the combination might appear, women often equate it with masculinity— and the ability to father healthy children.

As a result, those looking for the thrill of an affair, or hoping to become pregnant, are drawn to “bad boys”. — OMG/Daily Mail.
