Predators know how to get what they want.

A lot do and have. Look at the women who wanted to marry douchbag whathisname who killed his wives in the Chicago Suburbs —he was a cop —geez, can’t remember … .

It’s not just “predators”. I’ve worked with battered women and have known them personally. It’s an emotional thing for many, often driven by emotional neediness, by lack of self-confidence and by plenty of cultural damnation of women, consigning them as dependent, incompetent, etc, even as they often make their own living. Too many women think they’re “the one” who can change another, and often blame former partners for not “understanding”. It’s not a class thing, but it’s sometimes an economic thing—women many times don’t want to “start over” or lose economic benefits they have accrued with their partner, much less be alone while they do it. This not only occurs in heterosexual partnerships, but in lesbian ones as well.

Each woman’s case is different, but there is always some component that is identifiable. It’s why I’ve always tried to teach women to (a) learn to support themselves first and be independent; (b) to be happy with your own company and know you are a worthy human being.
