Just because a woman thinks a murderer is good-looking does NOT mean she likes him, or wants to have a relationship with him. I believe what 20yrs is saying is that it is hard to believe that a good-looking person could be a murderer or other heinous criminal. She is saying that she usually expects such a criminal to to ugly, and is surprised when they are good-looking. This does not mean she or I or any other woman wants to jump in bed with the guy.
Look at the numbers of both men and women who have committed heinous crimes and receive literally hundreds of letters every day from "fans" who seek both friendship and deeper intimacy. It's nothing new, as old as the hills. Bundy was married to one such "fan" while on Death Row and fathered a child with her. Great traits to pass on, eh? Mother explains to child that his father was a serial murderer but, "he was really a good person otherwise ..."

Well, I'm not sure I can comprehend this. Does she think only ugly people commit crimes ? Beautiful people are just so beautiful how is it possible they could suck the life out of another humanbeing ???
Does anyone remember the 20 year old girl from Texas who was so NYC star-struck she picked up and moved here thinking she'd become discovered and famous ? This was just last year maybe ... Well, she met a bouncer at a bar and he took her home and raped and murdered her ... They found her in a dumpster the next day ... Her family was surprised. Why were they surprised?? She was as smart as an eggplant- trusting anyone who told her they'd help her become famous- The people at the bar said she was chatting away about being an actress, getting discoverd, etc ... Ok. And, the guy on the corner selling Rolexes for $15.00 is for real ... I don't know about all over the map, but on this side, you need to be city-smart.
What about the Med student on Craigslist who responded to an ad for a date/girl and when she showed up he raped and murdered her ... We're TOOOOO TRUSTING today !
From the OP, I didn't think she was asking why people are attracted to murderers, rather, why she, in her mind, imagines that they would be as ugly on the outside as they are on the inside. As the sayng goes, don't judge a book by it's cover.
I sincerely hope you haven't judged any "ugly" people because of these preconceived notions about looks and coinciding personality.
Scott Peterson is another good example, or the Menendez brothers. I remember watching Jeffrey Dahmer's televised trial, hard to imagine and unfortunate for their victims. Thanks to forensics, they can't hide behind their attractiveness forever.

Today on my local "hometown radio" local news section there was a case where a young man 18 murdered his mother and grandmother. And dang if he wasn't cute! I thought to myself. If I had been single, and I would have run into him at a bar I might have been attracted to the guy! (well, if I was 30 years younger). Here is a link so you can see for yourself that he aint' bad lookin' Hometown Daily News
It's too weird that cute guys can be homicidal killers. They should only be ugly and freaky looking.

TV has really done a number on men who aren't attractive. No wonder women consider them creepy.
In the last 20 years, there have been a number of high profile cases that should have proved this to be a lie, but memories are short and TV is a very effective conditioning agent.
When it comes to many crimes against women, its almost impossible to be a "success" at it for long if you aren't good looking.
This is just a glimpse at how society discriminates, segregates and separates the ugly from beautiful, fat from thin, well dressed from sad/homely ... It leaves me completely baffled. People like that are easy prey and have an instant X on their back.

I see what you're saying but in real life, going by what I've seen, that's a red flag. Trust me on that one. Usually people like those are the same one writing to the death row inmates trying to defend them or believe they're innocent because they're cute. I think that's scary. I've seen women actually feeling sorry for these guys despite them being sociopathic murderers, child rapists, etc where they're trying to make campaigns for these guys to get them out of prison. This is how it starts.
I'll give you an example. Troy Kell from Utah. That guy has a fan club of women who feel because he's "cute" that he deserves to get off death row despite brutally killing another inmate in prison while he was doing a life sentence for murder. There's women that are like "the guy he stabbed 67 times deserved what he got". The same goes for somebody like the Night stalker Richard Ramirez which has another fan club. Some of these people do not need the attention or any fan clubs because they are dangerous already and if given the power, will con the system like how Ted Bundy did. People like these don't need the attention.
