All throughout human history women have been attracted to high power, dominant men. Women are attracted to men with status and how did you get status throughout history? By being fearlessly dominant. Fearless dominance and “superficial charm” are characteristics of trait psychopathy. These are attractive to people in general, and women in particular. Not to be offensive, but guys like you are the reason this is taboo. Women don’t usually openly admit to liking assholes and “bad boys” because there is a social stigma attached to it. Not only that but they may be consciously annoyed by an asshole and sexually aroused biologically. These are not mutually exclusive. There are studies that show the period of a woman’s ovulation cycle where she is most fertile is when she is more aroused by dominant behavior. There is also a term hibristophilia which refers to women who find serial killers arousing which explains why Ted Bundy had women flocking to his court proceedings to get a glimpse of him as well as how Charles Manson managed to get a group of women to leave their families and eventually commit murder for him and face the gas chamber all while smiling because they had his approval. Lastly it is common for pimps to clean up their women so that the money they make isn’t going to drugs or getting stolen. It is unwise business to “pimp” a girl with a drug habit so pimps will often get the girls clean or get rid of girls with habits.
I don't know what pimp comment was about? Traditional pimps beat their women along with other horrible things and exploit them to the extreme it's a vile form of slavery.
There is a study that shows that 99% of studies are complete bs. How exactly do they measure the arousal of all these women during their cycle along with their fertility? What other factors are involved. Are the guys pretending to be dominating to them good looking are the nice guys ugly, etc?
I assume women traditionally looked to men to provide for them and take care of them. Power and status probably appeal to them and appealed to them maybe similar to how large breasts attract men that doesn't make them monsters, or incapable of falling in love or having loyalty. Women often marry up to rich guys, apparently wasn't as common with men, but now we see cases like that convicted felon who was the boy toy for some billionaire heiress. That guy had neither power or status [ sorry if your not familiar with the story it was in the tabloids, I'm not gonna google it]
As for Ted Bundy. Well, there are guys here into female domination and being dominated by women. I call it a mental illness it's not the norm.
Many of the high power dominant men were not assholes. You are wrong many where good men, honest and faithful. None of the good things in the world today would be here if that were not the case. I guess you got Genghis Khan along with some others, but he didn't need to attract women he just raped em.
You are mixing dominance with bravery they generally don't go together. Many who act "dominant" are not all that brave. Bravery is a great quality, trying to dominate everyone is a vile quality. If everyone starts acting like a psycho like you describe you will have chaos.
There certainly women into bad boys, into criminals into assholes, but most of those women are assholes themselves, stupid or mentally ill maybe abused.
