A woman looks at a guy with issues and a bad attitude the same way I look at a $300 rustbucket car and see an asphault melting street machine.  They want someone they have to change, like a project.  It's almost like they see a man getting all beligerent and angry and something clicks in their brain that screams "Kittens!" and all of a sudden he's the most helpless, cute little fuzzball in the world.  I'm covered from wrist to neck to toes in tattoos, drive a lifted 4x4, shave my head, listen to heavy metal, and blow kisses at old men on the freeway...my girlfriend adores me because she's the only one who know's it's ALL a facade.
