How to Spot a Dangerous Man Before You Get Involved Quotes

“Her tale, so typical of women who pick dangerous men, begins with a woman of higher than normal intelligence but with a heart bigger than her knowledge of pathology. [She] was no novice to the subject of psychology. She had gone to therapy and had even been married to a psychotherapist. (..) Based on these reasons, she never counted herself as a woman who would attract pathologically dangerous men, so she never worried. Because she never worried, she never learned about dangerous men or even knew to be on guard against them. [She], even with her knowledge about therapy and psychology, resisted the idea that her man was pathological when I suggested it to her. [He] didn’t “look like” he was disturbed. Where was the drooling, foot-dragging, medicated, glassy-eyed appearance of the extremely deranged? (..) Once [she] decided that [he] was probably indeed dangerous, she spent another chunk of time toying with the belief that “if he only went to therapy he could get better.” [She] chose to believe that decades of psychological research on predatory men was inconclusive in his case. She, like too many women, refused to believe that someone with [his] nature was permanently disordered.”
