I’ve never understood this, although I think that a lot of women have the fantasy of seeing themselves “rescuing” some misguided soul from his awful deeds. This is the basic Don Juan scenario, where somebody is converted by love.
It probably happens occasionally that men turn aside from crime because of the love of a good woman, but I doubt that it happens at all in the case of sexual psychopaths. They are in their own heads, they’re crazy, and any woman who thinks otherwise ought to have her own head examined.

Those are the women, you don’t to be in the same zipcode with, let alone be with.
Unfortunately, this rescue gene dwells in some men. We have friends with a son in his late 20’. He is handsome, smart, well educated and hard working. He has been wasting the last year and half with a female loser. She isn’t a criminal nor serial killer. She is one of life’s perpetual losers and repeats the same mistakes. Her reputation as a flake means she is basically un hireable where they live.
No doctor will have her as a patient as she is a PIA and never follows any orders/instructions from any Doctor or nurse.
This is the third such damaged wounded bird this young man has hooked with since his senior year in college.
They have no friends as they can’t stand her whining and loser behavior.
Or these women are sick, twisted freaks who live their violent and deranged fantasies vicariously through these death row inmates.
It's just a thought...
