Bad Boy Good Girl Attraction

 For some time now I have been wondering the chemistry between a good girl and a typical bad boy. Often times, we get to hear stories how a beautiful sister, with good morals, sound education and very hard working would fall madly in love with this brother that could pass for a jerk. Forget the good look `thing, I’m talking about a man who probably doesn’t know or value her worth, he goes about chasing anything in skirt, sometimes he get physically or emotional violence with her, a heavy drinker, chain smoker and worse still high on marijuana or cocaine. Why in the world would a God fearing sister find such a man irresistible? In my quest for the answer, I had to engage some friends on social network. I got loads of response in my inbox, some of responses came from sisters that confessed to be once a victim or current victims.
 Let’s read what some of those responses;
                                             
                                
 Reason #1: Bad boys want to become good. And who else could better accomplish this than a good girl? Nice girls always tend to have a blind spot when it comes to bad boys gone good, and they just adore seeing them change. They are also highly interested in helping them change and being able to brag about this accomplishment.

 Reason #2: Bad boys force the bad side out of a good girl. All good girls like to picture what their life would look like should they be on the bad side. Bad boys manage to help them achieve just that and help them get rid of their shyness.

 Reason #3: Bad boys are never boring. They always have something to do, places to go, people to see. You can’t say you dislike traveling together and going on new. Adventures all the time. At times, their adventures might prove to be just a tad more dangerous than a good girl might expect, but that is the fun in going out with such a bad boy, anyway. 
Reason #4: A bad boy offers something that’s different. There is just this excitement associated with somebody who’s very different from you. Reason 

#5: Bad boys are mysterious. They somehow always manage to create and maintain an aura of mystery around themselves. And even though the ladies love to know their men by heart, some of them also prefer to have certain things hidden from them. Something in their man’s past that is hidden, that he never talks about, just drives them crazy. 

Reason #6: Bad boys seem to be more passionate. Bad boys are always more or less consciously associated with passionate activities, and of course love-making is one of them. But they are also thought to be more passionate so it is easy to see why the ladies might dig that – no one likes a wimp, right? 
Reason #7: Bad boys are more secure. Ladies tend to prefer a man who has self-confidence and security. If the man they are with is secure at all times, women tend to feel better protected. Bad boys always manage to at least create the illusion of being extremely protective and secure, having their head on their shoulders at all times and taking the bull by its horns no matter what. But are these reasons enough why good girls usually fall for bad boys? 
 Everyone falls in love for different reasons, what one girl would consider to be attractive might be completely repulsive to another one. We will do a part two of this research soon!!!

To My Mum On Mother’s Day Special!!!

There are really no words enough to describe my jewel of inestimable value, my mother, Mrs Elsie-Ekpoawan U. Williams.
My mum is the strongest woman I know, for nine stressful months she protected me in her womb. Went through the narrow road of life/death to ensure my existence. She fed me with milk from her breasts and held me in her arms to rest despite the inconvenience of my helpless little self. As my guardian angel, she made sure I was on the right track and instilled respect in me through disciple. Praises and prayers is what I have learnt from her since infancy and in the days I’m too weak to pray, I remember she is praying for me always. As a wife, she was submissive, supportive and loving to my late father. She stood by him through the good and bad times, in health, sickness, pain and even in death.
A great teacher she is, mother to many. Her children and grandchildren are her priority. She worries about us when things don’t seem to be going on well. Every week she makes sure she calls me to find out so many things; how I’m faring health wise, how the Big Sister brand is doing, and when I’ll be taking some time off work to walk down the aisle lols.
That is my mum, my rock, my back bone, shoulder to cry on, best friend and cook for life. Thank you for making me who I am today, you are simply the BEST OF ALL DEM MOTHERS.
