One excuse we often hear about women who date bad men is that they didn't know these men were bad at the beginning.

Obviously, in some cases this is true. Some people are genuinely duped and manipulated.

But in many cases women knowingly date bad men. They think they can change them or they generally find asshole behavior attractive.

Look at Kanye West. He often has had public mental breakdowns. He has said the most questionable shit. He publicly harassed the mother of his kids in a way that many considered abusive.

Yet did he ever have problems finding a woman? Of course not. He currently has a new wife . And from what I've seen I wouldn't be surprised if he's abusing her. And don't get me wrong, all victims deserve compassion and help. But can you honestly say that this woman wasn't aware of Kanye's reputation? Unless he literally hypnotized her with magical powers, you can't say that she's not to some degree responsible. The whole world knows who he is.

Heck, even the disgraced Armin Hammer found a new girlfriend. This is proof that you can be notoriously bad and abusive and still score.
