Many women liked Ted Bundy

[WildRanger]

How would you explain that phenomenon?
Were those women normal?

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Umm, what?

[TAC]

Posting in this thread is like getting in Ted Bundy's car.

[Adami]

I’ll bite.

1) how many is many?
2) in what context did they like him?
3) to what degree did they like him?
4) before or after his public arrest?
5) what is normal?

Once you’ve answered those, we can talk.

[WildRanger]

4) before or after his public arrest?

After.

Well, that guy always bangs I'll guess.

Does it matter here? This is a thread about Ted Bundy and his appeal on women FFS, not about me and my appeal. I don't get what's your point.

4) before or after his public arrest?

After.

You just ignored 75% of my questions. Have a fun thread.

[El Barto]

He was handsome, charismatic, supremely confident, and ballsy. Seems kind of simple to me.

Probably because he scored 4 touchdowns in a single game.

Oh wait.......

Its common with a lot of serial killers. Its called hybristophilia:

Trying to gauge your "normal" benchmark.

Funny, Ted really has no normal.   And to me, this question is low on the totem pole. Some answers have no relevance to my life.

I think it's kind of an interesting phenomenon. Not specifically Ted, he had plenty going for him, but maniacs in general. Richard Ramirez was a sick fuck, ugly as sin, and neither bright nor interesting. Insofar as serial killers go this guy was the absolute bottom of the barrel. Yet he had plenty of female admirers, including one that went on to marry him. He was certainly far more popular after he left the reservation than he was before. That's a curious phenomenon in my book.

[King Postwhore]

It really doesn't.   How many women hook up with prison men?  There's a population of women attracted to bad men. It's not rocket science.   

Well, definitely some rocket.

Just looked up pics of the dude. Not a bad looking chap, but does anyone else kind of see a young Charles Grodin?

I’ll buy that.   

Chicks did dig Bundy, no question about it. 

[Cool Chris]

Not sure where this thread is going, but... it happens the other way too, with men falling in love and seeking marriage with female inmates.

Of course there can be benefits, as George Costanza realized, such as knowing where she is all the time, and having relatively no competition... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3s_tgXrcl8

Sociopaths are often charming.  And they use it to manipulate people.  For example, Ted wore a sling or cast on his arm to draw women in who would wish to "help" him.  He also worked on a suicide hotline while he was a psychology student at University of Washington.  He outwardly exhibited traits that made him look empathetic and caring.

The phenomena of men and women being attracted to inmates is along the same line of being attracted to married and/or otherwise unavailable people.  There is little chance of much complication because the inmates are unavailable for intimacy (I'm not talking about sex) and probably also because they have been damaged or abused as children or in other relationships.  Men in prison cannot abuse the women who claim to want relationships with them.  So in a way, it is safer for them.

Unless the guy gets paroled. 

[IDontNotDoThings]

For the record, men have also been unusually horny for interested in female murderers, as well as future female dictators. Yes it's fucked up, but it isn't a one-sided thing, nor would I say it's common for either side.

Reading this comment to my wife:

Her: “Ya. Stupid and deadly” 

But seriously. My wife pointed out that he definitely had a “type” that he went for. And if you weren’t that type? He could be very normal and likable. That’s why Ann Rule (the true crime author whose career started when she wrote about Bundy…whom she knew) was so shocked when this very nice man turned out to be a monster.

There's also the "wounded bird" thing, where some people have this need to care for certain others that gets sort of distorted beyond what one might consider reasonable.

Did we just witness the end of an era here?

[MirrorMask]

So.... Wild Ranger is another victim of Ted Bundy?

[El Barto]

Bit of an overreaction, frankly. I've always found the people who bitch and moan about WR's posts far more disruptive than the posts themselves. Hell, the post cited was Hef taking a dig at him, which is par for the course around here. WR posts a question. The same five people rush in to tell him what a troll he is. The conversation picks up and people discuss it. RLR. Part of it sounds like the sort of thing you'd expect in a discussion forum. Part of it's just being a jerk.

Wasn't it 80%?

WildRanger is back with a vengeance!

How many women?  "Liked" in what way?

How would you explain that phenomenon?

If I had any interest in explaining it, I'd google it:  https://www.google.com/search?q=women+who+are+attracted+to+serial+killers&rlz=1C1GCEJ_enUS915US915&oq=women+who+are+attracted+to+serial+killers&aqs=chrome..69i57.12179j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8.

Please define "normal."

I hope that doesn't mean what it sounds like.

Hah! I forgot I asked a 5th question. I assumed he just ignored the first 3. Good catch!

I think it's kind of an interesting phenomenon. Not specifically Ted, he had plenty going for him, but maniacs in general.

Yet he had plenty of female admirers, including one that went on to marry him. He was certainly far more popular after he left the reservation than he was before. That's a curious phenomenon in my book.

It is an interesting phenomenon if one thinks on it objectively... and if one realizes that we are all (mankind) capable of the deeds these men and women serial killers perpetrate. 

Even more to Bart's point regarding removing Bundy from the objective thought and replacing him with Ramirez (or Gacy, or Mansion, etc less attractive perps)... did these killers realize, on some base instinctual level, that they might garner the attention/"love" that they seek from others (be it sexual or non-sexual) by being viewed as depraved by society in general?

I don't know if it's a choice in search of something.  Having read a fair amount about this, I gather that in many/most cases, it's an obsession that they cannot control, and in some cases even know, objectively that what they are doing is wrong, they just can't help the compulsion.   I'm sure like anything else there are examples all across the spectrum, but I do get the "compulsion" thing.
