Been working as an bouncer for half a year and met all kinds of couples, most are ok and some are very nice people but I really don't understand why some women choose to be with "bad guys". Some are wanna-be tough, just assholes who think they are macho and cool, but others are really, really bad people. If you know a dude has been in prison for +10 years and has a violent history and has scars from fights over the years all over his body in midst of the prison tattoos why would you choose to be anywhere near him?

What's wrong with these women? A lot of the women who are with convicts I've met aren't even lovely people.

"Don't be nice. Be good."
My aunt started to date a guy like that. A year later they were married. I can tell she's come to her senses, although too late., because she's loving miserable. She won't admit it though because everyone told her not to do it.

One or more of these. There's overlap.

2) She gets attention from her female peers
3) Sees it as a sign of confidence
4) If something goes wrong she and others can blame it on the guy
5) Her father is an rear end in a top hat
6) She's a weak or dependent person

Well definitely there is a lot of sexism baked into society and women often get the short end of the stick, but I really love internet social justice advocates' ability to turn any sort of bad judgment or bad personal choice made by a woman into her being forced into that choice by virtue of being a victim of society.

It's like their entire ideology is set up so that women can do no wrong. The patriarchy to them, instead of being an obfuscating jargon term which refers to sexism against women built into society, is a bogeyman who is responsible for everything bad that happens to women ever. The fact that the term patriarchy is easy to say and is vague and confusing only encourages its use in that way.

Bad guys are not afraid of making bad choices so they're willing to talk to women based upon absolutely nothing.

Edit: Maybe it isn't that big of a deal and there are different tastes? Maybe there isn't a significant correlation of bad boys to women and it's just a representative bias.

I can't speak for all women, but I'm met some who like the aire of confidence a "bad guy" puts on. Most women are not like this, however. And, for anyone who doesn't think a patriarchal society plays into the whole "I have to go after the loud/alpha male type." you're sorely, sorely mistaken.

Yeah basically this. It's really about society's expectations of male and female behavior, not some bullshit :biotruths:. Also people who tend to be successful in relationships are frequently outgoing and self-confident, which a lot of nerds consider "rear end in a top hat" behavior because they lack those qualities and resent people who have them.

loving lol. Society dominated by men made me make a bad decision and date guys like War Machine who tried to kill a porn star. I have no personal responsibility to myself and my decision making skills are poor so let me blame society and men.

Read his OP. He's not talking about regular people seen as assholes, he's talking about the malcontent like prison inmates and whatnot. This isn't vilify nice halpless guys kind of thing that people on here love to do. Go to EN for that.

Dear E/N,

I'm an overweight anti-social computer guy with Aspergers who seems normal if viewed under casual scrutiny and I met this really hot girl on OKCupid who is a beautiful snowflake and I'm going to move 4000 miles away to be with her. We play World of Warcraft together all the time and she thinks she can control the weather with her telepathic powers. Her life plan is to become the queen of an unspecified feudal fiefdom in the Appalachian mountains. I'm super in love with her for reasons completely unrelated to the fact that she is a 5'8", 125 pound hottie with a modeling profile on Facebook. The other day she mentioned something about "schizophrenia" and now she wants to join the Army. I'm really worried because I have already purchased a pair of horses for us.

THE HELL IS WITH THIS ASS!?



I had a boss years ago who's theory was that some women date jerks because somewhere in the back of their heads, they know they'll never have to commit. It seemed oddly specific and made me wonder if she'd had some personal experience with that situation, but :shrug:

Doesn't seem too outlandish but I'm sure there's a whole host of other reasons why someone might date a person who isn't particularly nice.

They want to screw a guy and have nothing else to do with him so they pick a guy whose only utility is dong. Once in a while they become emotionally attached because of reasons. It's the same reason guys sometimes end up marrying some oval office they met when she was wearing six inch heels and cheating on her long term boyfriend in a bar.

OP, as the authority on the singular woman-consciousness which is out there, I can tell you it's specifically because they want to baffle you, and because you have bad breath.
Also, your snap judgments of other peoples' worth is entirely accurate, and there are never many contributing factor's to a person's personality. Plus all women are angels and could never be "bad people" themselves in some way you can't tell after the intimacy involved in your bouncer-clientele relationship.

Lol, women don't make bad decisions regarding partners, actually that's what's forced on them by society. Also, no woman ever has ever been with an abusive guy, that's a fiction invented by jealous nerds who aren't getting any.

I'm surprised that more women don't find this worldview patronizing and insulting. Basically it implies that women have no agency, and therefore, like children, shouldn't be held responsible for what they do.

:psypop: Are you saying that the idea of "society conditioning people to act in certain ways" is specifically demeaning to women? Because society definitely does that, that's like 80% of the point of society even existing in the first place.

I don't think that poster was suggesting that all women will always do a thing or anything, unless I'm missing a post he's responding to.

I'm saying that the internet ideology where women are incapable of doing wrong and everything bad that happens to them is a consequence of them being victims of society can be viewed as being patronizing. Obviously, society influences behavior, but on this board there are a ton of posters who bend over backwards, often blaming external influences, to avoid ever saying anything bad about any woman.

We have multiple posts in this thread where people are accusing the OP, a bar bouncer, who probably has some experience dealing with violent guys, of being a jealous virginal nerd who labels any confident guy that he sees a woman with as being an ex-con. When he asks about women's psychology and what some women see in those guys, he gets a couple of responses from posters who fall all over themselves to explain that women are just being pressured by society to date violent men. It's totally out of place.

I 100% think that women are capable of doing wrong.
btw here is the rest of my post, where I imply that you are arguing against a point not being made so that you can talk about how women should be offended by people recognizing gender roles in our society:

surc posted:

I don't think that poster was suggesting that all women will always do a thing or anything, unless I'm missing a post he's responding to.

The poster I quoted was literally saying "Societal pressure, as opposed to some innate part of being a woman that makes you fall for bad guys". I don't know why you need to prove that women are fallible so badly, but nobody's actually said they're infallible in this thread. You may want to reflect on why you're so vehement about this.

The reason this dude is getting so much poo poo regardless of the intent behind his question is that his question is like asking "why do men like the color blue" and expecting there to be one answer. I mean, you could give a blanket answer to the post like "because bad guys are super hot", but you can't actually answer the question meaningfully because women are all individual people who have their own combination of things going on in their lives that lead them to have the opinions and views on the world. The question also implies that there could be a singular answer, which is demeaning to women because that assumes that they would all react a certain way instead of as individuals.
In case you are actually unaware of it, his thread title is also pretty much the rallying call of the "wronged nice guy" the internet over, which usually means that they are a self-centered dude with obvious flaws they're oblivious to, who have an idealized fantasy of how a woman should be and what they should want (the nice guy himself usually), and when they fail to live up to that and are instead an individual living their own life totally fine, and go out with somebody they want to instead of the nice guy, the dudes get all butthurt and ask petulant questions like "why do they always go with the JERKS?"
This dude doesn't seem like he meant it to be demeaning, or like he's being petulant, but it's still a silly question. Hopefully the snarky answers he's received have resulted in him realizing that and either shifting mental gears immediately and laughing along at the silliness of it all, or being embarrassed which may lead to annoyance at the people making the posts, but hopefully also to thinking about the situation differently afterwards, which might enable him to answer his own question and probably help out with other questions to try and understand why people act the way they act.

Thread success!

Honestly I've been kind of wondering the same thing, or at least wondering it for a specific person. My fiancee spent the better part of today and yesterday helping her best friend recover from her boyfriend (with whom she lived) knocking up his ex recently. Another guy that said friend dated in college several years used her ID card to break into a dorm to steal some laptops, he landed in jail and she got expelled. The guys in between those two were better, but not by much. Some people just can't be helped :shrug:
