There was a hidden camera report, men would actually stop and help attractive women commit crimes. I think the women were pretending to steal bikes and asking the men to help them and they would. Also, if an unattractive woman appeared to be in distress barely any men would pay attention enough to stop.

Even John Wayne Gacy, who was about as repulsive as it gets and was gay to boot, had a lot of female groupies who loved him dearly. Its crazy, but I guess it's something in human nature.
very good points. it's still a pretty disturbing phenomenon.

Yup. Female murderers get men who want to marry them too. It's a perfectly safe relationship for someone who has been rejected, or too shy to go hunting for a mate, or all kinds of other reasons.

A lot of men love bad girls just as much as a lot of women love bad boys. Loving them from afar, knowing they're always going to be safely locked up, allows those people to experience the thrill of 'dating' a bad boy or a bad girl with none of the dangers of the real thing.

But there's always a danger lurking in a relationship like that. Convicts love to play head games, and will try to use anyone who writes love letters in any way they can.

That too could become a thrill, though. Part of love is dueling with your mate, and so the people who go after convicts may want that as much as anything else out of the relationship.

When a person's life is empty, lonely and boring, anything that will spice it up is all good for some folks, even if it is a real bad relationship. When the bad boy is behind bars, it gives the woman some feeling of control over the relationship. The same is true with men.

Loneliness plays a part, plus a sense of perhaps the woman can "help" him, she is also in control of the relationship. Many prisoners are receiving letters and money from multiple women as well. A prison visiting room is quite a collection of all types of people. Quite a sad sight too.

The thing that bothers me the most is female correctional officers who get involved with an inmate. What in the hell are they thinking? It happens quite a lot and I have no words for the disgust I feel.

Male ones probably do as well but I have no experience with that.

I saw that - it was on an episode of What Would You Do. The men were happy to help with some even admitting they didn't think the bike was hers. Unreal, until you stop and remember what idiots men can be when it comes to an attractive woman...lol.

Of course with stories of Ted Bundy and Dirty John, women also fall prey.

Best of all that good looking convict is someone they think they can control.

Yeah... except everyone is forgetting about all those statistic women bring up ad nauseam about which gender murders the other more often.

So if women are more often killed by men opposed to men being killed by women... wouldn't it stand to reason that maybe women should be pickier about the men they involve themselves with?

And when I say pickier, I mean about traits that actually matter, not the superficial and emotional.

But hey, there's nothing that ticks a woman off more than men "telling her what to do" so by all means, continue to date and marry whatever guy floats your boat, consequences be damned.

I think what they should do with him is place a tight noose around his pathetic little neck and then have him stand on a block of slowly melting ice surrounded by pictures of Shannon and those poor little girls.
