Why do some girls insist on staying with guys who treat them like crap when there are guys who would do anything to be with them, and would actually treat them good. Frustrates me to no end.

Because they have low self esteem and for some odd reason only try when there is a challenge!!!

i think a big part of it is how long they have been with the person...it may not always have been bad..one of my best friends has been with the same guy for 5 years...he has cheated on her so many times and makes her feel bad for wanting to hang out with her friends....yet she still takes him back everytime he screws up. i think shes jsut scared to start something new after being with him so long...it may not always be fun, but its comfortable for her.....so she stays....

i know how u feel man

i dont get why women stay with guys that beat the **** out of them over and over and when asked why they dont leave ""ohh i love him"""" if thats love count me out

the truth is women always believe they can still change a man. men don't change, they just adapt new stratagies of hiding their old behavior.

I could turn that question around on you and ask you...why do men stay with women that don't appreciate them? I have seen guys stay with women that treat them like crap and they stick around...why is that?
Sometimes I truly believe that some men like to be treated bad. Now I did say SOME so don't be yelling at me!! I have been with some guys and treated them great and they didn't act right...then I treated them like crap and they acted better! I just don't understand that one at all!!
All my friends told me to try this when I wasn't getting along with my guy...well it worked. It seemed like if I treated him mean, he loved me even more!! HMMM so explain that one!!!

Because they have ONLY had JERKS....
So "jerks" are what THEY seek to find again,w/o REALLY knowing that they are looking for "THAT" kind of guy!!!!!

Young chicks, like BAD BOYS,
And SOME Older ladies from 25 to 40 still seek to find BAD BOYS as they want a MORE fulfeeling experience of activity in there "NOW" single lives, after leaving MR. BORING....

But find only JERKS, and learn the hard way..

Some women just feel stuck in that bad relationship and are scared of being alone.

I think that it is the same reason you see really nice guys who are tied in with *******. opposites attract

One of the reason may be fear..if the person is controlling and abusive and may have threatened her if she ever left....people on the outside can easily say "She should just leave him"..but if you are not in that persons shoes..its easier said than done!
For the ones who are not in an abusive relationship and the guy is just a jerk...well I think it could be the fact that she is comfortable and may not wanna go looking for another relationship or may have low-esteem issues...could be a variety of things...but Im no Dr. Phil...LOL..just my opinion!!

Yeah I don't understand that either.. I never have understood that....

unsure, maybe their mothers
got mean with them and
that's why they respond
to you being mean to them.

That gets into the whole
Freudian thing and I don't
even want to go there.

Well, how about this, people just really don't like to give up on someone they love. I've been mistreated by a few women, I still love them, I hated giving up on them, but I got tired of forgiving them. In the end it came down to I couldn't trust them anymore and without that, what do you have?

most.......not all.....but most lady's feel as tho they can help change a man later down the road. What they can't seem to understand is that a person won't change unless they want to change.

I got it I got it...

Because some women may have been mistreated as kids there for in order to fullfill that missing part and mistreatment as kids they need somebody else to do the same crap of endless none sense.

Maybe I'm wrong here just a shot in the dark.

It's like some women who where well got sexual with a family memember as sick as that is end's up in the porn world and or as a hooker and doing drugs etc.

Maybe I need to stop watching so much tv, morning talk shows don't and afternoon one's don't help.

But to be honest I think this question has been asked before and by the time the person get's married and all to the person hitting and whatever else to them they end up worse and or dead.

I guess some woman don't see to clearly enough though to get out and get a better man. Who know's.

Don't worry about it. There are so many people in this world, so many fish in the sea.

There is no direct answer. People in general take some kind of abuse because of insecurities or low self esteem.

I think it's because the woman thinks either they can change the guy or they want to be popular so yeah...

How about just some girls like bad boys!!

I know to this date that somegirls are like that
cause i know them.And its got nothing to do with haveing sex with family or doing drugs.Its just a turn on for them.Hehe when i go shoping with them we play a game to pick the perfect person.So all the guys that you look at and can tell are good?She just cant stand them.But show her a bad boy and she wets her panties!!!
And the same applys to guys!!!I like a bad girl everynow and then.They turn me on!!but it just comes down to human nature.Everybody has differant tastes and the person you mite want mite not want you.not because your to nice or your bad its all about taste!!

These types of women (and some men) are what is known as an "abandoholic".

A bit about Abandoholism:

It's similar to the other ‘oholisms, but instead of being addicted to a substance, you’re addicted to the emotional drama of heartbreak. You pursue hard-to-get partners to keep the romantic intensity going, and to keep your body’s love-chemicals and stress hormones flowing..... You become psychobiologically addicted to the high stakes drama of an emotional challenge and the love-chemicals that go with it....
