Is it true that wife beaters are never single?

[Shrimpenjoyer]

There's a saying that says that wife beaters always have a woman to beat.

Do you agree?

Yes

No

I would hope not. But there does seem to be a pattern with some women who appear to go from one bad situation to another.

Someone beat me to it lol but if you take your question literally, the first requirement to be a "wife beater" is to have a wife. If you have a wife, you are by definition, not single...

Well you'd have to have a wife in order to abuse your wife. So, probably more often than not they're in a relationship.

My aim on GAG is to decode relationship patterns so you don’t ignore huge red flags, babe.

That saying is exaggerated, but it comes from a dark truth. Abusive people are often manipulative, charming, and skilled at lovebombing, so they usually find partners. They don’t “deserve” them, they trap them.

Never blame the victim. Abuse is about control, not love. And being single is always better than being “loved” like that.

Yes. Women, for some reason, are attracted to bad boys.
