Men: wHy Do WoMeN wAnT tHe MoNsTer AnD bAd BoY?
You really want that answer? I don’t know if men are ready to hear this, but... women in real life don’t seek out the monster or sicko abusive man. We date what we think are relatively nice guys.
Then slowly, in real life, the nice guy takes off his mask and shows us the monster beneath. Most abusive relationships begin happily. I can’t count the times I’ve heard, “But he wasn’t like that in the beginning” Victims stay for a million reasons but in my personal experience
It was the hope that the nice guy would return, but the monster made me think I did this I made him this way. Was that true? No, but emotions are funny, and ppl cling to hope. So in FICTION, when we see the big evil monster on screen, we already know his dark deeds we are aware
And then that monster takes off his mask and lo and behold the true self, the loving self is revealed. So excuse us for not gravitating to the “nice man” in stories Too often, that’s the real monster. We have been conditioned to fear or worry what lurks beneath your nice man mask
So next time you judge someone for loving the “misunderstood bad guy desperate to be loved” think about why Maybe they too have been longing for love & identify Maybe they have a monster at home who tells them they are unworthy Maybe their nice guy was a wolf in sheep’s clothing
