Rush, if every female were more logical and honest like you, we wouldn't have these threads. Unfortunately, a lot of women under 30 aren't. A bad boy doesn't necessarily mean a thug who's in and out of jail and rides a bike. A bad boy can mean a guy who is completely confident within himself and doesn't take crap from women or anyone. He'll call you out when you become rude or step out of line. Not cursing you out, but put you back in order if need be.
I understand where Drake is coming from. Its not so much playing games like you interpret. It's more about taking control of yourself, setting boundaries, and being a man, not a door mat. Every guy would want nothing more than a completely honest women who they can spoil, love, be honest to, and communicate with both ways. Not every female like bad boys, but all women do lose respect for a man that they can completely walk all over.
Mp3moose, I too feel your pain. It's something everyone goes through. Both men and women. You just have to learn from the bad, take all that was good, and move on. Go hang out with your boys. If you're not strong enough to forget about her yet, get rid of everything that reminds you off her. Go out, mingle, and start dating other women. Keep yourself busy!! DON'T call/email/text her. DON'T pick up the phone if she calls. She had her chance to talk to you and lost it. That's her loss and you're worth more than that.
