Yes, its amazing how some women can fall under the charms of a total wierdo and still keep trying to convince themselves that hes a nice guy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HybristophiliaThe reason why some people do this is unknown, but some speculations have been offered. For instance, Katherine Ramsland, who is a professor of forensic psychology at DeSales University mentions, that some of the women in particular who have married or dated male serial killers have offered the following reasons:
"Some believe they can change a man as cruel and powerful as a serial killer."
"Others “see” the little boy that the killer once was and seek to nurture him."
"A few hoped to share in the media spotlight or get a book or movie deal."
"Then there’s the notion of the “perfect boyfriend.” She knows where he is at all times and she knows he’s thinking about her. While she can claim that someone loves her, she does not have to endure the day-to-day issues involved in most relationships. There’s no laundry to do, no cooking for him, and no accountability to him. She can keep the fantasy charged up for a long time."
