This show is about the evil women who got caught. Imagine how many more got away with their crimes, and nobody ever found out it was them? Those are the Deadly Women to fear more so than the monsters on this show. If you can commit a crime and never get caught, that would make you a formidable person to be feared indeed.
shareHello again, AmeriGirl26!
I agree with you 100%.
I used to be a regular viewer of the this show in it's first few seasons but lost interest after that. I attributed this to the producers of the show running out of interesting stories to tell. I have a fairly strong stomach, mind you, but have always had a tendency to get interested in obscure or esoteric events or incidents.
I did, however, always think this show had an unnecessarily sensational tone to it, what with the way the narrator always introduced and editorialized the murderers(or murderesses!), the almost comically melodramatic music--complete with opera singing!--and the way they always felt the need to have these 'portrait shots' of the killers, played--invariably of course--by stunningly gorgeous women which had the effect of likening these women to femme fatal characters from old-timey film noirs. The facts of the cases ought to speak for themselves.
I had to quit after a few episodes, due to the psychological impact some of the stories had. You can only take so much cruelty and inhumanity from these stories.
shareAnd the women who were never caught would have been more subtle about their ways. They would have been mothers who abuse, both mentally and emotionally. Whether it be their husbands/partners or children.
Also if you look at the cover pic, this is apparently sexy for women to be this way!
You'd think being a murderer and a sociopath would be a turn-off for most guys.
sharethis is apparently sexy for women to be this way!Well, as I am sure we both know, a lot of guys are lead around by their dicks. In many of the reported cases shown on this series, the women threw up all kinds of red flags and their husbands and boyfriends wanted them anyway because they were really hot and put out for them regularly, and maybe also cooked and cleaned for them, and in general showed them enough kindness to think that they should not leave the relationship.

P.S. *I* used to be one of those guys who thought only with his dick and who might have fallen for one of these women if she was hot enough and threw me some tail, but I've grown up.
Although I did once a couple of years ago have a date with a woman who tricked me into buying her dinner and then disappeared like smoke! In retrospect, I realize she acted very much like a hooker in her manner and affect so I think I know what to look for in the future!
Freeing yourself of those "instincts" for lack of a better word is a wonderful thing.
shareWe call those "moochers."
shareA lot of simps out there who are so hungry for female attention they would risk their lives for it.
shareSad, but true. A lot of men and women are pretty stupid when it comes to relationships, including ignoring warning signs (but to be fair, some people aren't experienced enough to know the warning signs).
shareIt makes more
immediate sense with women because bad boy/ abusive traits can be seen as confidence and strength.
As far as men putting up with it I think it's because men are expected to be strong and resilient so not only wont a man seek help he also might just try and ride it out hoping it will improve.
Loneliness, lack of confidence and self respect would also play a part.
As well as past experience like being brought up in an abusive family. I think that would skew someone's outlook and make them far more likely to stay in a bad relationship.
