Hmmm. That is a toughie.
A well-known feminine foible.
Spiritual, not just psychological. Humanity is fallen and depraved.
Males are prone to be bad boys. Females are prone to want bad boys.
In youth ministry, I saw tamer versions of this play out time after time, year after year.
Females consider dangerous men sexually virile. They instinctively want their love to somehow transform and redeem him.
A truly decent man is perceived as sexually boring and no challenge to the majority of women.
I have seen too many “Christian” bad boys on their third marriage to their third “Christian” wife.
Well said! I missed your post before my previous one.
The best treatise I ever saw on this was titled:
“How Women Choose Men: Why Nice Guys Finish Last.”
It was succinct and polite; it simply said, watch what women do rather than listen to what women say.
Such sexual instinct is certainly part of it, but not all of it.
This is not just psychological or biological; it is also spiritual.
Yes. It is a kind of idolatry.
Humanity needs a Savior. Many women want themselves to usurp and fulfill that role. Such a woman wants her love to save the bad boy.
Thought about this a little more. He didn’t go and slay a rival or threat. He killed his family. A real scum bag, and so are the women who support him.
I never said that it was logical.
I wonder how these women would’ve felt if they met him ‘before’ his incarceration.
He was mighty interested in gals back then.
