No, I mean hypothetically, from their point of view. I think a lot of
the appeal of the sp00ky bad boys is the "I'll be the only one to
understand him, to find that deep-down hidden good in him" - whereas
with outwardly decent people (not to be confused with nice-guy
syndrome, btw), there's nothing hidden unless it's the *un-nice* bits
of their personality.

Sure, but if you do that, then she's no longer the type of person who's
attracted to mysterious, sp00ky, "misunderstood" guys with Darke
Secrets - so you don't need to be like that to attract her.
Individuals vary a lot, of course, but in this area I think the
(theoretical) average 22-year-old is more like the average 30-year-old
(the ones still single, anyway) than like the average 17-year-old. It
doesn't take all that much experience to learn to sniff out that kind
of bull****.

It was her pun; as I mentioned, that was Ms. Behl's LiveJournal.

I like that. I think it should be installed in the official a.g.
lexicon.
