Why do some guys have a thing for broken women?

[Anonymous]

For example they got out of an abusive relationship.

[exitseven]

I dated somebody who was abused by her parents. She was really nice but sometimes she would go a little crazy. I knew it was because she was traumatized as a kid.
I wanted her to get therapy and I even said I would go with her.
She was going to go but changed her mind. We had a big fight over it and she broke up with me.
Later I realized that I sort of liked all the drama and it was not a real healthy relationship.

So far all the women here are just wrong. For me it's because I have been broke too and having someone that related means they are less likely to take me for granted and will be more sensitive to my feelings.

MANY stunning 'know-it-all' young women, rebelling against well-intentioned parental cautions, are determined to experience the 'romance' of a domineering 'bad boy' and until they experience firsthand an abusive ASSHOLE possibly pimping them for drugs or beating upon them with an alcohol problem (or BOTH) DON'T appreciate a guy who's smitten ENOUGH to invest his time to HOPE they've learned their lesson and decide THIS guy is 'enough' to make a life with them.

Unsubtle-but- too-often 'TRUE'.
And... sometimes, they'll hang around enough to heal and convince themselves
they're smart enough NOW to not fall for the same shit and then go out and do it AGAIN!
I speak from experience! It breaks that guy's heart to see them DO IT AGAIN.
There's only SO MANY TIMES, you invest yourself to restore a possible 'classic'~ >:(

It goes both ways even when you see it an old man sitting in the street with a sign saying that he's hungry you put your hand out to help them up to give him some food it's no different than that it's because you care because you don't like to see people suffer and if you can get them out of that and that's what you're going to try to do

Some brokenb woman use sex as the compensator secondly a broken man seeks a simialr tarnished woman brolen , men and broken woman fit. FYI a inclusive and true fact Never play ;leapfrfog with a Unicorn. I mean I have and can't see the issue i am not smart that way!

[Cryptoanonne]

I dont see anybody as 'broken' like that, but going along with whst you said, if Im honest with myself its cause I see it as easier. In my head I'm thinking 'theyll be more likely to overlook anything bad about me cause they were in a worse situation before', even though thats not fair to the person really. On self examination its pretty shitty but I do it automatically almost..

[JROX23]

Why is it always the other way around is the real question! All the girls I've ever met go for peice of shit loser types. For the women, I know already its all about "healing the bird with the broken wing". I personally am atttacted to successful business women with a good head on their shoulders

Because He's broken too.

The more a person is willing to put up with the less they believe they are worth.

It's not always their fault, sometimes, it's from never been taught any different. Their upbringing was this way, their relationships, their family life. It's what they're use to so, the broken woman provides a familiarity to the broken man.

"Social programming". We are programmed since birth that all women are ladies and we are the protectors.
Problem is in the modern sense the biggest predators are the women. I liken most women of today to the "face huggers" from the movie "Aliens".
Any guy that doesn't treat we o. an as sperm receptacles i. e. PUA's or is not woke about woman and constantly on guard are simy lambs to the slaughter.

[FýrdracaDócincel]

Non-broken women tend to be really stupid.. like REALLY stupid.

Like "Setting up a Zombie's Lives Matter campaign in the event of a Zombie apocalypse" stupid.

[Idkanything55528]

Vulnerability. Women tend to look for a shoulder to cry on, and they see that has an opportunity.

[jasco]

Easier to control, its just a power grab nothing more. These men are the type to either hurt them worst or be of some help but its not long term

[ndensumbeauty]

To waste their time and energy. Filling an ego for no purpose. Other than selfishness.

[Lunatic1]

In many cases, it is "white knight syndrome." They want to "save" her and show her what a good relationship is, but don't always know themselves.

[Wise4myage]

This goes both ways. Lots of women do the same thing.

[anylolone]

Same reason why some women have a thing for broken men.

[Shy_Steve]

Because we like being the night in Shining armour, It makes us feel more desired by you Women.

[SuicidalGuy1]

Some guys are narcissistic and want control and other men like to take care of loved ones.

[vapeguy993]

I really haven't the faintest idea as to why that happens.

[Anonymous]

they must have tiny cocks if they like broken females

[whirled_up_girl]

Maybe these guys have a rescue complex?

[Ironic_Method]

I feel attacked. I feel for those that haven't been genuinely loved.

[whirled_up_girl]

@Ironic_Method That's cool, I guess some guys maybe just have a lot of empathy for women who have been in a bad situation and maybe it means a lot to them if that a woman finds a way to trust again.

[Ironic_Method]

Some guys, yes. Maybe I'm cynical, but I imagine most guys don't have the best of intentions.

[Flower7]

They probably want to use her.

[genericname85]

Cause they're broken themself.

[Ironic_Method]

Eh. Probably.

[Hangry06]

Easy to play the saviour

[Anonymous]

Easier to have sex with

[Cubus]

Men are naturally accustomed to be protective.

[Nazgol]

They want to be her superhero and fix her

[Twalli]

They think they can help fix her

[somerandomindianguy]

They are easier to manipulate if they're damaged

[Jmmmfi4]

Easy prey
