Why Women Find Biker Boys Sexy

We’ve all heard that women want a guy who’s tall, dark and handsome. Although maybe it’s time to update that to “tall, dark, handsome and on a motorcycle”. It seems that for many women, a guy with a bike has a special kind of bad-boy appeal. In fact, in a recent Match.com survey, “motorcycle” was the second most-popular term that single women used when searching through online profiles. To understand why it is that a Harley, Ducati (my ride of choice) or any other crotch rocket or chopper bike ranks so high, Dr. Kate Wachs, a Chicago psychologist and the author of "Relationships for Dummies", says, "Motorcycles are still perceived as rebellious, tough and strong. Unlike in the past, they're now much more socially acceptable." Like tattoos, motorcycles are often the hidden fun-factor in otherwise respectable citizens. Here is the full story on their allure and why women find us biker boys so damn sexy!

Above is my weapon of choice, a Ducati 999r powered by a Testastretta engine.
Top speed of just under 200mph and 0-60 in less than 3 seconds!

Guys with motorcycles have a little extra oomph.
There's no doubt about it. A motorcycle signifies a little extra ingredient in a guy - a little extra testosterone in a world of sensitive men. Sensitive metrosexuals are great, but some women still like a little cave with their man. A man on a bike exudes independence, self-reliance and fearlessness. He has nothing but leather between him and certain harm. Clearly, he freely embraces risks and has a lust for life. Of course, this little extra oomph can be a double-edged sword. On the one hand, he's more masculine than the average pencil-pusher. On the other hand, you need the tough-boy exterior balanced by a kinder, softer side when you're off his ride. Almost all bikers are sweet, big-hearted and intelligent men.

Guys with motorcycles offer instant invigoration.
Riding along on a bike, you can feel the wind in your hair which makes a lot of women swoon. Riding a motorcycle is always a mood-booster even when you are in a bad mood. There's nothing like that kind of wind blowing in your face and the freedom to get on and just go. It's also a no brainer that the rumble vibration from the bike between her thighs helps things too. ;)

Guys with motorcycles thrive on spontaneity.
A guy with a bike is no doubt the sort of boy who’s likely to say, "let’s go for a ride" on the spur of the moment. If the mood strikes to head for the hills, the seashore or anywhere else, he’s likely to seize the moment on his bike. Plus, he’ll take his date along for the fun! With a motorcycle, you're guaranteed two things: speed and convenience. So you can go wherever your whim and wheels want to take you. Another benefit, it's a lot easier to find parking close to a restaurant, making dinners out all the more convenient.

Guys with motorcycles are the only match for girls with motorcycles!
Tons of women have motorcycles themselves and are avid riders, that's why they search for biker guys to complement their sassy self-image. Just remember this...between two motors, the wind and neither of you wanting to get too distracted from the road, motorcycle riding doesn't exactly make for meaningful conversation. Make sure you've got other things in common besides four-stroke engines, otherwise you might be headed for a relationship ditch.

Guys with motorcycles make even the most empowered women feel girly.
In this day and age, women are the masters of their own destiny. No longer do they look to men for power, permission or affirmation. As great as that is, there's a part of many women that like to be a li'l lady once in awhile. For many, the back of a guy's bike is the only place she will let a man (literally) take the front seat. She won't mind giving up her independent power to wrap her hands around his middle and put her trust in him. It's a little taste of being old-fashioned. That's a great feeling, at least for a little while.

Dating a biker dude gives a woman an excuse to tap her wild side.
If you’ve ever wondered about what your bad-girl side would look and feel like, this is the opportunity to find out. You might not be hopping on the back of a Ducati in a skirt and heels, but if you did, I would still love it! Although you can also shine in jeans and a tank or tee. At any age, a woman looks sexy and rebellious on a bike even if in real life she just dropped off the kids at soccer practice.

So there is some of the good doctor's shrink advice on why women find biker boys sexy. Of course I added in some of my own remarks and did a little editing in case you couldn't tell, but overall I tend to agree with everything Dr. Wachs said. So now the burning question...I'm off for a ride, who's coming with me? Just grab your stilettos and jump on! ;)
