5 Reasons Men Love Crazy Women

Theories on man's strange, recurring attraction to mentally unhinged females.

Glamour blogger Shallon Lester brought to our attention a widespread problem plaguing our menfolk: guys seem to really dig crazy chicks. Yes Shallon, I have noticed this, too. But in the post, she gives only a few half-hearted explanations: "Personally, I think guys secretly like the drama. Maybe it makes them feel alive or brings some action to their otherwise dull lives. Or, perhaps it reminds them of the chaos of their own family life as a child (wow, how Dr. Phil am I today?) Or, they could just be weak guys who like being dominated and repressed." Glamour

Here are five more theories on why guys seem to loooove crazy women.

1. Men love to be heroes. They love to "fix" things. It makes them feel needed, important, and feeds the male ego. Who makes a better damsel in distress than a poor, defenseless lunachic? Note to guys: a woman is not like a house. Fixer-uppers do not usually turn out to be a wise investment. If you need to fix something, there are plenty of us normal single girls out there who need some light bulbs changed. The Frisky: Why Some Guys Date Train Wrecks

2. If she's crazy day to day, chances are she's crazy in the sack. But men don't really care about sex that much, do they? Wait … I think they might.

3. He has mommy issues. If a guy had a dysfunctional mother (or primary family member) he may not actually be aware that his lady's behavior is NOT normal. There's no shame in going to therapy and working that stuff out. The Frisky: My Dating Disaster Story

4. Need to figure out your future career? Money troubles? Feeling anxious or depressed? Having a GF with problems much worse than your own is a wonderful distraction. Warning: she will only make your problems worse. The Frisky: What Scorned Women Have Done To Get Even
