Default why do women keep such losers for boyfriends?

first scenario - my rental houses....

Why would any woman let a guy live in her "semi free" section 8 house if he had no job, no car and was a total dick?

Do these woman have so little self esteem that they think a decent guy is not possible?

The guys bring nothing to the relationship but their dick..... which usually causes a pile of kids that that guy has no way to support........

Second Scenario - my neighbors daughter

She is smoking hot (~23yrs old).... she just got back together with her boyfriend who was in jail for beating her!!!! she dumped her current boyfriend (who also beat her) to get back with the guy who was in jail. She is very hot and pays most of the bills!??? WTF

you're right, they probably have low self esteem. it's sad. in the second scenario, along with physical abuse, there's verbal abuse, which have psychological effects. both seem to be attracted to the "bad boy" type.

but just the reverse, i know this guy who puts up with his fiancee and she's the biggest bitch. she wanted to get married but she only wanted a ring with at least a 2 carat diamond. she told him and everyone else this too. she's the type of person who has the designer bags and wears manolo blahniks and brags about it. there's nothing wrong with designer bags and shoes but don't talk about it like you're some big shit. like once, i was talking to her after years of not seeing her and she told me she started to golf and that she has a set of Calloways. i feel bad for him, but at the same time, i wonder how he can tolerate her. (and for the record, for anyone who thinks i'm jealous of her, i'm not. i rather have a smaller diamond because i think anything big is gawdy. and i also have a set of Calloways but i don't blab about it; i only mentioned it here to make a point.)

Some females crave the drama. Some are afraid to be alone. Some are afraid of the guy. Some like to feel superior to their loser boyfriend. Some are just too lazy to get rid of a loser. It's all self-destructive and for the most part self-induced.

couldnt have said it better....However, I think it mostly revolves around low self-esteem.

Interesting topic...


I have to admit that I have been guilty of this once in the past. He had nothing going for him, was a degradation to my life, and caused me to regress as a person instead of maturing.

The last straw for me was when I discovered that he had a serious girlfriend of 3 years and that I was the other woman.

To this day I still have no idea why I was so completely blinded.

I think much of it may come from what these girls saw as "normal" when they were growing up. Think about it - they might've spent years seeing their dad beat their mom, dad might've had a job here or there, and was generally contributing little to the family. If that's what you see day in & day out, that becomes what you think is normal. Sad, but true.
