(I've been sick again the past two days so I apologize for the slow response. I also always seem to engage in these pensive, slow motion LJ conversations)
In short, I agree with you completely. And if the girl starts with the crying...
Sure, I like to believe that I am immune to the same dating disasters that befall women. Of course, I am just as susceptible.
It amazes me how much attraction can cloud one's judgment.
There are many, many awful women that I've given full pardons to in life; girls that other women can't stand. They'll wonder aloud how I can put up with such a bitch.
Yet no matter how much of a bitch they are, no matter how flaky or shallow or just fucked up they are, I'll make the same excuses that women make for the wrong men.
For me, I've been unable to determine whether it is the challenge or the danger, but that's a separate story.
I agree that danger is sexy. I'm talking about sexy danger (like doing it in a public place where you stand the risk of being discovered) versus stupid danger (dating the girl who steals from you, cheats on you, starts fires and not in a good way, is otherwise psychotic, etc.)
