megimeg Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Hi! What does the phrase mean: "Some girls will always have a thing for the wolf" The ilustrative picture of it is a a girl and a wolf showing his teeth and lookind angry at the girl. Can it be used for someone who is agressive during arguments? Link to post Share on other sites
understand50 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 No, it means some girls always go for the "Bad" boy and wind up hurt. It is a form of self punishment. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

It is a form of self punishment. Well basically what I meant, being hurt in a qay or another. Because I was having a discussion with my friend and she said it means only "loving boys who are wild in the bedroom, it has nothing to do with being hurt" Link to post Share on other sites

I usually have heard it more for the "lone wolf" which has more positive connotations or attraction to the strong outsider. As to wild in the bedroom, it isn't just some girls Edited June 3, 2021 by SumGuy Link to post Share on other sites

Is this a crush or an ex you're following on social media? Link to post Share on other sites
LuckyM Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Wolf is an old 1960s name for an aggressive man who goes after girls for his own pleasures. Pejorative 1 Link to post Share on other sites
elaine567 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 @SumGuy "Lone wolf" now has terrorist connotations. Was he part of a wider network or a cell or was he a lone wolf? Anders Breivik - the lone wolf. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

She: "Yes." He: "I bet you say that to all the boys!"[ The wolf with the red roses. The woman in the tale is willing to give her very self to the wolf with the red roses, only to discover that once done, he won't think much of her and never did - he just wanted what she had to offer.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wO8toxinoc Link to post Share on other sites
