Criminals are overtly masculine (usually with large, tall bodies) and often have charisma and charm. And, like I said above, women love criminals (including serial killers). They won't admit it, though.
You're just... plain weird for saying any of that.

First off, I can't think of any hot, charming serial killers. Serial killers trap their prey through subterfuge, trickery, and playing (and preying) on people's kindness or physical weakness or politeness, often because they can't get them alone any other way. Your poster boy, Ted Bundy, lacking said hot charisma, feigned a broken arm to get young naive women to 'help' him get a moving box into his car. Such a studly maneuver!

He always looked like a sniveling wimp to me, right up there with fellow snivel-boy Jeffrey Dahmer.

And true crime is popular due to the female fan base "eating up murder," crime, and the men who commit it? You mean to tell me that men are scandalized and repelled by true crime, and never, ever read/watch it? Just like they're scandalized and repelled by, oh, gosh, snuff films and kiddie porn?

Arrogance. Arrogance trips many of them up.

He lost me when the same poster used an incel vocabulary on the thread he started about the short vs tall men; think, your first adjective is correct, as well as the second.

I definitely don't think men should be working in the women's prisons....but maybe that's just me.
That's been tried before but female guards sued because there's a lot more male prisons than female so they can't get the same job opps if they work only at female prisons.

I do agree that the caring instinct is more prevalent in women, and that it leads to these romantic entanglements.

I disagree with the stereotype that these women fall for their incarcerated charges because they just like bad boys. I don't even know what that means and would like to have a hard sit down with the person who originated this platitude. Fact is that correctional staff spend the majority of their waking hours with the prisoners. They spend more time with them than they do with their families (realities of our workplace lives). They get to know the inmates very personally, some of which is necessitated by their job. They see them at their best, at their worst and everywhere in between. Sometimes they see them in very vulnerable situations (like talking them out of a suicide plan -- suicide rates are high in prisons and jails). They see them work, eat, pray, go to therapy, go to medical. They read their mail. They dispense their meds. See them naked. Everything that you could possibly imagine knowing about a person, they get to see.

Then they go home to walk the dog, eat dinner, and go to sleep. If their personal lives are empty, it leaves them wide open to form attachments with people they've come to know quite personally.

Male criminals are extremely dedicated to tomfoolery and have no problem lying convincingly to female guards to get them to help them.

Lets face reality -- many of these female guards have low self esteem. When a male convict tells them everyday how pretty they are or is just nice to them in general, after awhile they start listening.

Agree with this.

Girls/women all say they want a "nice" guy.

Here's the problem -- "nice" guys generally aren't very aggressive and don't ask girls out with the same intensity or frequency that the "bad boys" do.

Hence what we have here is girls who say they want "nice" guys yet they end up waiting for them to initiate which doesn't happen as much. Bad boys swoop in with all the fake flattering and know how to con girls/women in a way that the girls/women respond to favorably.

Yes, women like men who are attractive and have desirable qualities like charisma and charm, but that's a far cry from being attracted to criminals. Most women who are emotionally healthy would not be attracted to criminals.

And usually "Dave" isn't actually "sweet", but passive as well as passive-aggressive. At least in my experience.
The issue is that Demarcus with his inflated self confidence is FAR more likely to make a move on a girl looking for a "nice" guy like Dave.

And when that happens, far too often, the girl says yes to Demarcus. Girls respond very well to flattery, especially if it's done by master manipulators like criminal Demarcus.

Girls respond to confident alpha males. Confident alpha males are more likely to be criminals than "nice" guys.

You seem to get your impression of criminals from TV. "Large, tall bodies"? Think about it; if they didn't choose tall actors for those parts, and chose more realistic types, short guys, average-height or below average, would people watch the crime shows?

TV is not real life. Remind yourself every day: TV is not real life.

I bet you think female lifeguards are all booby blondes, too. ROFL!! What a laugh.
Consider these 2 scenarios:

"Nice" guy Dave who is always very sweet to women.

"Mean" criminal guy Sam who is very aggressive towards women.

Now it's true that most girls/women would prefer Dave, but ONLY if Dave takes the initiative to make the first move. If Dave just sits back in the corner while mean guy Sam keeps putting the moves on, more girls are likely to choose Sam rather than just wait for Dave.

Alpha f**ks, beta bux
I don't think it's so much that the girls like criminals, it's that the criminals are much more likely to carry themselves in an alpha male confidence and that confidence is what girls like.
