They like "bad boys"?
Yup, some girls and woman live for the excitement, the power by proxy of being the main squeeze of a feared or so called powerfull male.
Not really unusual if you think about it, Power in any way attracts some woman. Money, profession, politics, and the [ old lady] of a street gang leader.
Looks of the male don't seem to matter, they live vicariously through the male. Perhaps just being know as the wife or girlfriend of a man that others respect and fear is the first time in their lives they are noticed and also receive respect .
For the males in prison with a reputation and can never again walk the streets but congeal visits are allowed for 2 days and night every 6 weeks, this is fascinating for some woman. If the woman are lucky, they will become pregnant and get all kinds of state aid. No worry about their MAN cheating on them, no having to put up with his farts and stinky feet, no worry about getting belted between the running lights, him getting anyone else pregnant, no drunken fights.
Frankly if DNA were to find their Man innocent and he were to to go home to them it would become the woman's worse nightmare.
