Victims of violent men

Violent men can hurt just about anyone. This includes women, children and other men. Violent men usually abuse their partners. They would abuse their own children and children that aren’t theirs. Straight/bi women and gay men have been victims of intimate partner violence. It doesn’t just have to be cases of intimate partner violence. They would commit violence if a woman rejects them. They can also commit violence against strangers, acquaintances, their families and friends. They would commit violence against people who they don’t like and anyone who provokes them to be violent. So basically anyone can be the victim of a violent man. Of course, every violent man is different. They may be violent towards one group of people and peaceful towards another group of people.

The role of their looks

In most cases, their personalities are below average, but their looks tend to be at least average or above average. The more attractive a person is, people tend to rate their personality less harshly. I’m not a nice person and I think my personality is around average, but people think positively about me and exaggerate how good my personality is because my looks have subconsciously affected their perceptions about me. They overrate the good things about my personality and ignore the bad things about my personality. My personality was even worse during my teenage years. I was a violent teenage boy, but girls still thought I'm hot and other boys thought highly of me. People don’t want to sound shallow but looks do tend to affect the way you perceive somebody whether you like to admit it or not. This is probably one of the reasons why people continue to stay with their violent partners. I think the magnitude of physical attraction plays a role in whether or not someone will continue to stay with their partner. It makes them give their violent partners multiple chances, make up excuses for them, overrate them for the good things they did, ignore their negative traits, think they are capable of change, have false hope for them, romanticize their negative traits, and etc.

They don’t think anything is wrong with them

If someone doesn’t think that anything is wrong with them, then why would you expect them to change the way they are? Most of these guys have grew up in an environment where violence was taught to them and where violence was tolerated, so they don’t think there is anything wrong with their violent personalities. Most of them have dealt with so much shit in their past which makes them think it’s okay to be the way they are. Maybe if they are violent teenagers, they could take a look at themselves and change their ways but that’s because they are young and they more open to change in order to improve themselves. Violence is a phase for some teenage boys and it was a phase for me too. It’s a lot less likely to be a phase for a grown man. Grown men tend to be more stubborn to change because part of the reason is that their brains have stopped development. It’s really rare for a violent man to change himself. I’m a grown man now and I’m not willing to change any of my ways because I already made up my mind about who I am and what I do. I think it’s okay to be violent and aggressive in a situation where I think it’s necessary, and it’s normal for most men to be this way.

They blame everyone else for their problems

They blame everyone else for their personal issues because they usually don’t think that they are part of the problem and they don’t think that anything is wrong with them. To them, it’s always people that cause the problems. It goes to the point where they think violence against other people is justified.

Violence gives them a sense of control

Men don’t talk about their feelings and emotion as often as women do. Violence is way to spill out their negative feelings and emotions. It gives them a sense of control over their feelings and emotions. It gives them a sense of control over other people. Violence benefits their emotions/feelings, and it helps them gain control over people and get what they want.
