A few questions about Women

    Why are some women attracted to serial killers. The likes of Ted Bundy use to receive 200 ove letters a day.
    do they have such huge egos they think they can reform them? or is it because they see the paradigm of the alpha male in them;ie. somebody who is dominant, strong-minded and intelligent. These attributes are particularly fascinating and attractive to women - hence their attraction to serial killers. Therefore, rather ironically, they see serial killers as being somebody who can provide them with the security that they need in life. They seem to deny the possibility that their beloved serial killer may murder them.

    even more perverse Ian Huntley receives 100s of love letters from women. I find this particularly disturbing since he is a child killer -this seemingly goes against their motherly instinct.

    What makes you think all women have a motherly instict ?
    What makes you think all women are the same?
    What makes you think that lot are just nuts and thier gender has sod all to do with it ?
    What makes you think that the few women up for such charges don't get letters as well ?
    What makes you think that notion of reforming/fixing/taming someone is a misguided female preserve ?

    they are famous and will attract nutters, who knows where the attraction stems from. It would be interesting to know if females convicted for similarly atrocious crimes do get such fan mail from men.

    Oh yes, we are all the same! Once you get the answers to these questions you will have the key that unlocks the soul of every woman in the world!

    I just *love* 'wimmin' generalisations


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,997 ✭✭✭✭Nalz

    dear me, his first four words are "why are some women" and you reply with "what makes you think all women..." and "..we're all the same".

    :D:D:D tee hee!

    I didnt read ops original post in full tbh. But to answer his question, theres all sorts of weirdos out there of both sexes, being a female doesnt enable me to understand these aforementioned ladies' mentality anymore than the OP can understand Ian Huntley's mentality.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    Ok did a bit of quick research.

    There are hundreds of sites where you can become penpals with men and woman in prison. You can mail the men freely but the demand is so big to mail the woman that you have to use snail mail. They use this so that only people with a genuine interest will do it.

    Woman seem to get more mail in prison than men.

    Of course it could be women mailing the women too?

    nacho libre ---- If a serial woman was in prison for killing, lets say 50 men. And you got the opportuinity to sleep with her once, are you telling me you would'nt jump at the chance. Just so you could say you "slept" with a mass murder. It wouldnt be what she had done that would be appealing, she would just be so unusual and that what makes her attractive.

    As opposed to a one-off woman?

    Is that not a little like sticking your hand in a fire after seeing 50 other people burn themselves by doing the same thing?

    nacho libre: Maybe it's as simple because there are fùcked up pyscho men AND women out there.

    Why are some women attracted to serial killers.

    same reason some men are attracted to serial killers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,350 ✭✭✭Lust4Life


    one chromosome too many on the penpal's DNA makeup I'd say.

    Seconded.

    I find absolutely nothing attractive about serial killers, nor do I have any desire whatsoever to sleep with one.

    Irish women are the most unnattractive in Europe bar a few exceptions. Go and ask a question on another countries forum.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,230 ✭✭✭scojones


    This thread is retarded.

    Talk about generalisations...
    It's not because they are women that they like Ted Bundy, it's because they are fucking nutjobs. Why does their gender come into it?

    Why don't you start a thread about why do men kill people? Talk about a waste of left clicking a link.

    what does the attractiveness of irish women have anything to do with this topic?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,219 ✭✭✭✭biko


    What makes geeks ask questions about women on internet forums?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,230 ✭✭✭scojones


    A desperate effort to understand them in the hope of not having to play with palm-eile I guess, biko.

    Serial killers also get love letters from men.

    Why are some people attracted to serial killers?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,575 ✭✭✭✭FlutterinBantam


    If I could be so bold as to offer a reason:

    Probably many of those women think that theyare the ones who can change the behaviour of the criminal .

    In the animal world,females will be attracted to what they perceive as the strongest male,the one who can offer most protection and sire the strongest offspring.

    Fast forward to century 21 and the notoriety achieved by serial killers and vicious murderers attracts certain females who are responding to a very deep down need to be associated with someone "in the news" or "famous"for whatever revolting reason.By being associated with these people the female ,in her mind, ups her status in the community from a profile point of view and gets a certain status from the association.


    its all in the genes you see.

    Agreed.

    Why are some people attracted to serial killers?

    perhaps i could of phrased it better:o
    It was not my intention to be sexist or generalize.
    I mentioned women specifically because I was interested to know was there evolutionary reason behind why some women were attracted to serial killers.

    Sexual equality has resulted in everyone hiding their generalisations about the other gender in case someone from that other gender might get pissed off. But it clearly hasnt stopped people from thinking that these generalisations are true. **** it. If this thread continues the way it started, Im going gay.

    I would never do it no matter how attractive she was. It's just plain wrong.

    This mad post combined with your signature makes me wonder if the aforementioned gentlemen are on your penpal list......

    LOL pull the other one. Have you been watching too many Bond films or something? Despite the streeotype of dark slim beautiful women with raven black hair to their arse Spain, Italy, France* yada yada are all miles behind us. Only Scandanavia truly whacks the ****e out of us.
