Why do girls fall for w*nkers?

    Its probably been done to death but its something that always made me wonder.

    I must admit with great shame that last night when bored with nothing to do I stumbled upon a few Jeremy Kyle Show clips on youtube and the characters in it really got me thinking. Why is it that girls/women end up falling for people who are absolute scum of the society. There seem to be lots stories of girls who are in a relationship with some drug addict drunk scum in a gang and then the girl keeps complaining of how horrible her boyfriend is and how he beats her up or keeps cheating on her etc. Like what did the girl expect when she decided to get into a relationship with such kind of a person. A person who doesn't know how to treat people with respect is hardly going to treat his girlfriend with respect. And then you hear stories of people in abusive relationship and children growing up in traumatic households and all the psychological issues they end up facing.

    I ask why get into relationship with such a person in the first place??

    Because winking is a sign that someone likes you.

    I wink a lot, I'm actually winking right now and I get my fair share of the wimmins. Wink at girls more OP, they love it and if you're lucky they might actually give you a wink.

    Insecurity

    Wanting to feel loved

    Not wanting to be alone

    Not strong enough to leave

    We judge relationships from our experiences - if your parents are in a dysfunctional relationship that becomes normal for you.

    Jeremy Kyle and his cohorts are probably not the most reliable source of real life stories either.

    The majority of women that go out with these guys are scum too.

    Some younger women fall for w*nkers because...

    1. They are attracted by assertive types but can't tell the difference between a decent alpha male and an aggressive w*nker.

    2. They like the idea of taming a bad boy, even though they are probably doomed to fail.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 653 ✭✭✭girl in the striped socks


    I think it's a mix of extremely low self esteem & the notion that they can change their fella.
    Put something on the end of it sunshine :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,327 ✭✭✭Madam_X


    - Because it's not always obvious they're **** at the start

    - Because they're good in bed

    - Because the girls think they can change them/want to believe the guy is so in love with them he'll change his ways


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,515 ✭✭✭✭admiralofthefleet


    because they like being treated like crap and all the attention that comes with it

    Think this post sums up my thoughts nicely.

    Well any guy who spends the day loitering around with his gang of hoodlums harassing innocent people and doesn't have the faintest concept of what respect entails, couldn't be anything other than a wanker.

    I don't quite get the whole alpha male, "treat your women like trash and she'll come running after you" type too.

    Like whatever happened to chivalry. Whatever happened to treating a person with respect, dignity and concern.

    C*nts love ****.

    For some reason that reminded me of (from the Simpsons)

    Hens love Roosters,
    Geese love Ganders,
    Everybody else loves Ned Flanders!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,727 ✭✭✭Pride Fighter


    I say this as a bloke.

    Most blokes are ****, so the probability of getting a good one are extremely slim.

    I'm sound.

    A lot of women like confidence in a man.

    Not all confident people are ****, but most **** appear to be confident (though it can sometimes just be a front).

    Therefore it can appear that many women are attracted to ****, though I'd say that most of the women I know hate ****.

    But then, none of the women I know would go on The Jeremy Kyle Show.

    I'd say it's more that they like the guy when he's being nice and they cling to that.

    I don't either but it's more complex than that. Re your first paragraph: I'm speaking in general, not just re Jeremy Kyle peeps.

    Lol. I don't think c*nts necessarily love **** at all though. People with low self esteem don't always aren't always c*nts.

    I disagree. Most men are not ****.

    I read somewhere that chemically there is very similar endorphins and adrenalin released when you have pain or drama as is released when you are madly in love.
    Guess your body could enjoy that reaction be it good OR bad.

    I do also think its harder to split with someone who treats you bad as opposed a nice guy.

    Women are weird (usually!)

    I don't understand, when the issue of what women find attractive arises, why a false dichotomy between either assholes or nice guys is always brought up.

    Most men and women fall somewhere along the broad spectrum between the two extremes. Why don't they ever get a mention?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,499 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    **** and bad yokes are often emotionally needy, the persona they portray is an attempt to mask their own insecurities. Do woman like mothering these chaps? That's one of my theories

    The other is the alpha male thing, people who rise to the top and gain positions of power are seen as wanker material. Often unfairly, where their people skills are sometimes lacking their ambition is not, ambition is an attractive quality.

    People on the Jeremy Kyle show are the cream of the crop. He has a top class vetting procedure to select the elite.

    Drama llamas.

    Definite truth behind this. They've been raised on 'days of our lives'.

    TV and gutter media has fked society so so bad. A huge number of people take their values, the core of who they aspire to be from the worst depths of the sht bucket.

    If I ever have kids im going to be that tweed wearing culture bore father who won't let his kids have Gta3 or mcdonalds.

    Nope, It's fun family based geography day trips and visits to pen factories for us. Better Rodd and Todd than two little w4angster rappers with onions on their belts and tribal tattoos they can't read themselves.
