Can a Bad boy ever turn good?

Anyone have a relationship with a badboy ( any sign) and while he did all the things bad boys did, did he ever change? Or is true most guys don't really mature until they're 30?
The sexy bad boy. Sought after by many women, but very hard to tame. Very sexy, and intriguing. Charming, and manipulative.
I personally think they can for a while....but if they maintain their looks eventually will end up straying as boredom sets in. Of course I dont know from experience just what I think, very hard for a leopard to change their spots unless they themselves really want to change.
Take him home feed him up! lol
I think the so-called badboy can change...just think about it:
Enters one bad female that 'Badboy' must have and he pulls out all the stops and suddenly knows how to behave. He abandons all the badboy behaviour because he knows what he needs to do in order to get in with the girl he wants.
Yes, they can change. Whether or not you are the one that can is a whole different story. A specific woman who knows who she is can and will change him. It's just takes him finding that one that will do it.
Problem with bad boys, is sooner or later they will meet their match. ANd what she does to him, will kinda dictate what happens later. If he doesn't mes up wit her, see's her, and wants her and moves forward, good things can come. If he pushes her too far, and she plays him... then it could change him further for the worst. I have experienced this many times. I lived for that chase. I wouldn't be satisfied until i won. and then you create a stalker. lol
Problem with all of this is, you're attracted to the bad boy, if you are one that can capture a bad boy that's where the problems for you begin. So please be careful what you ask for. A recovering "bad Boy" has lots of issues. Htey have beena bad boy for so long, that, that is all they know. Then mix that with a woman that has rocked him and he just plain ol' doens't know how to act. so you have to have lots of understanding with them.
Then you wake up one morning and realize they are WAY too possessive. That's the biggest problem. You tamed them, they fear you moving on.
Just some of my experiences. It's a fun game. key word game.
Well, I've always been attracted to bad boys and the simple answer is.... YES, they can turn good. Just depends on what you want them to be good at. Personally, I find them very good at being bad AND I like that. I think it takes the right person to make it happen for them though and in the end, they always revert back to who they really are inside. Being labeled a "bad boy" doesn't necessarily mean they don't have a good heart though. I think it just all depends on the situation and the people involved. If he truly finds "the one" he will change for as long as he is happy and probably not a moment longer, but isn't that true with everyone, good or bad? I think as long as you love them for who they are inside anything is possible.
As Bella said, you can't change someone, either you love them or leave them.

Oh okay, I thought you meant like the thugged out bad boy, in trouble with the law, etc. I agree with Hypnotic though...


Well that counts as a bad boy too.

ok yes a bad boy can turn good...when he finds someone who makes him want to slow down, someone he can hold and talk to and laugh with. everyone is looking for that special someone who completes them in there own eyes. which is why we r drawn to people who seem foreign to what we actually need or think we want. we r filling the spaces that need to be filled with the aspects of others.
usually the self distructive actions of promiscuity & commitment inability have been caused by the pain of heartbreak which has the same ability to not only turn a bad guy good but also turn a good guy bad Sad


Yeah.. after awhile, I'm startin to think he's a bad boy forever. I mean yeah he has a good heart. But I am starting to give up and think he's gone forever.
i agree with what baby-grl 414 said
if they meet their match they can change ,but after so long can revert back because its what they know
and they can also be very clingy,possesive
i always seem to attract bad boys and have passed some good men by because of them
they are more interesting and exiting
but thet do also have a heart and i think they get scared when they fall for someone
