Message-ID: <90@tekred.UUCP> Date: Thu, 14-Jun-84 14:11:54 EDT Article-I.D.: tekred.90 Posted: Thu Jun 14 14:11:54 1984 Date-Received: Fri, 22-Jun-84 03:28:50 EDT Organization: Tektronix, Redmond OR Lines: 35 This is a subject that has bothered me for some time and I have never found a truely satisfactory answer. I am a very open-minded person and always try to judge all sides before I come to my own personal conclusion on any given subject. This one still has me stumped. The title of this article was suggested as a possible answer to the following: I know many beautiful (as in exceptional physical attributes) women who are going out with, engaged to, or married to absolute jerks. I define them as jerks because they are men who don't want to work, spend all their time drinking or just laying around, expect the women to support them, often ignore or even abuse these women, etc. etc. What I can't understand is why these women continue to tolerate such treatment. Why do they stay with men who are such assholes? (pardon my langueage, but it seems the most appropriate description for these male persons) I have asked most of them and their answers are typically, "I love him" or something like that. Granted, this thing called love often causes stupidity, but don't you expect to wake up one day? One of these ladies has been dating one of these jerks for five years. She bitches about his behavior constantly. There are about a dozen good looking "nice" men who would love to go out with her. Yet, she remains with the jerk. Recently, I have noticed an increased amount of female traffic in this group and feel like this is a good time to pose this question because it may well get a reasonable answer. "Love conquers all" is not, in my opinion, a reasonable answer. Men, feel free to respond to this as well as women. But if you don't understand this any more than I, then let's have some discussion from the ladies. Thanks. RichAmber
