It seems that Bad Boys really are Bad Boys. I find it odd that men of any intrinsic worth or standing would look up to 'Adam', unless they secretly wished that they could behave just as nastily.
Here's a link to another article exhtolling the virtues of these Adams, whilst simultaneously bashing the so-called 'nice guy' or a 'simp', a term repurposed to mean something negative.
The article seems tobe almost the diametric opposite to your (very good), article.

Oh, good - looks as though a URL becomes linkable.
I left some commentary in the appropriate section.
