Answer 1

They're delusional - it's a psychological illness.

Secondly, they have never known pain, fear or terror - therefore they have no idea the depths of evil that can exist in a person like that.

I wouldn't wish it on anyone, but these women probably can't watch horror movies either because their minds will not allow them to even entertain the notion of evil. They are clueless - literally.

Answer 2

Maybe they just want a lot of attention, being lonely and all, and being with a criminal is a sureshot way to get attention. I think answersgeek is right too.

Answer 3

Because we are unpredictable

Answer 4

I don't think good girls like bad biys, who like bad boys, prosititute, i only think they like someone with very serious mental illness who can't leave his own childhood, and who is sick!

GoodBye, for definitely sure

Answer 5

because they show confidence, strength, dont take **** all the stuff women are biologically made to like (culture can overide these).

for that story, it may be accurate that josef is a good guy and did it out of love for his daughter (how raping her helped her i cant figure out but im not him) doesnt change it that he broke the law and his idea of "help" is repulsive. anyway who would want to be with this guy needs to go where his daughter is, not only to see his affect on her but also get help from the same institution.

Answer 6

This has to do with the popular (and wrong) notion that women are pure and virtuous angels who can understand anyone and turn monsters into harmless bunny rabbits with their love.

Blame the movie-makers and the media and not the women themselves. How often in movies or soaps do we see a woman change a murderer or gangster into the perfect man with her undying pure love? This has to stop.

There was this Tamil movie released earlier this year called "Mirugam" (Meaning "Animal" in Tamil). It's about a violent villager who brutally rapes his wife on their wedding day and acts violently all the time, but her love and purity changes him for the better. This will never happen in real life. Sadly, not all women are mature enough to realize this.

The media, soaps and films for one have got to stop portraying women as perfect goddesses who make the world tick and can change anybody with their love.

Answer 7

Lonliness can cause people to attach themselves to the most unlikely characters in the hope of getting affection and love into their stark, lonely lives.  They want to feel wanted even if it's by a child abuser.

Answer 8

Perhaps they are turned on by the idea of being locked up in a cellar and raped.  There is no end to the peculiarity of people's desires.
