6/7/05---Why do some women marry idiots?

So yesterday I'm out on break with a couple of friends of mine from work, MC D Blay & MoMo....and as we were talking we happened to see a lady who works in the building with us who about a year ago married one of the Wackenhut guys who works as security for the building.  The ladies were discussing what a huge idiot this woman's husband is, mentioning (among other things) how he has a stud in his tongue that he loves to flash at the ladies for his own amusement.  While we were talking about this, one of the ladies remembered that I had once considered going out with the woman in question.  I hadn't remembered that (how can I keep track?) and didn't think it was correct, but no....the other lady remembered it also, telling me about how I had said that years ago I thought she would be a nice person to date.
I was searching my memory trying to remember when exactly I had said that......and I was thinking about her husband, the security guard, and how totally opposite they seemed for one another.  Now, I understand the old theory of "opposites attract" and all that....but this guy is pretty much universally thought of as a real clod....and so I sat there and thought to myself....'just what was it that she saw in the guy?'
And I realize....that sometimes, there just isn't a reason that can be explained.  I can recall going back to high school, that one of my best friends was a girl who lived down the street....sweet as sweet could be....cute as a button....and the guy she was dating was a complete a-hole.  And no one, including her own mother, could understand what the attraction was.  Was it..."the bad boy" thing that attracted her?
And through the years....I've seen women that I've known...women that I used to be involved with....that date guys who treat them like absolute shit.  And I just don't get it.  When a guy treats you like that....is the theory that, once you marry him, that he's going to change and suddenly become Mr. Wonderful?   Uh....no.   There was a girl I used to work with who ended up marrying a police officer (The WORST) and we never EVER saw the guy say as much as a nice word to the girl when they were together.  And yet, they're still together....couple of kids.....so go figure.  And it makes me wonder....what exactly is the attraction there?  I can actually remember a woman that I was involved with telling me.....that I treated her "too nice" andthat she wasn't used to that.
Just a second.

WHAAAA?

I was "too nice"?  What the hell does that mean?  Excuse me while I change my ways and start treating you like dogshit!  Here's a theory of mine that I've gone by for going on almost 20 years now.....ready?

Chicks are weird.

Later,
