Dating fixer-uppers

That one is one of those general truths about women. The woman most likely to throw a pot at your head during an argument is also the most likely to be f'ing your brains out 10 minutes later.

I know some people are romantically attracted to the kind of person that would be considered flawed(druggie, drunk, long rap sheet). What makes a person want to or think they can change someone? Who has time and energy for that?

Because I am desperately trying to avoid some paper work, I'm going to pick at your comment a bit. You answer your own question, who has time for that? Some people you know!
What makes 'em want to do it? You know them, ask 'em!

I think 'fixer upper' and 'flawed' are a bit softer terms and not really the best adjectives for describing helping druggies, drunks and ex cons. Drugs and alcohol problems probably should probably be left to professional help and anyone who wants to take that on isn't so much a 'fixer upper' as, in my view, ####ed up themselves. As for 'wanting to' when I found out the Mendez brothers found wives AFTER finding themselves suddenly, and tragically, orphaned and AFTER the state placed them in a...secure...orphanage, I stopped asking these sorts of questions EVER again. People are just...people...and there really isn't much explaining or understanding us. :shrug:

Now, I gotta find something else to do to avoid them papers...

Poor vrai

It's all good. I saw them last night enjoying a cigarette together.

No, it does not. They send more.

It was at the malt shop & it was a shake, not a ciggy.

 

[Tito]

I love crazy bitches.

As the "sane", baggage-free person, it gives them the control in the relationship.

Passion is passion, good and bad. Someone who tends to have high energy in one area almost certainly has it in other areas as well. It's up to you to determine whether the sex is worth it or not. Many people apparently think it is.

You can't change people or fix them. I don't have time to fix someone else's problems. They are a grown up and need to fix their own dang problems. I have flaws and will be the first person to admit it. I wouldn't want someone to change me either. I will never be the perfect lady to do hair and makeup everyday. Or grow out of the horse phase. Or be a good cook. What I can do is support myself and not have to depend on someone else to do it.

I'll go with that. Knight in Shining Armor Syndrome.

^^This. I think it is chapter 3 of Dr. Laura's book "10 Ways men screw up their lives".

Right along with the chapter of How to not Become your mother

and for women it is our tendency to be care givers. We like taking care of, and mothering. It all works out just fine when you're with another sane human being. That is how most happy marriages last. Sane is the key word, there seems to be a short supply of that.
