Mind you, I'm of the opinion that all men turn into assholes, and all women into crazy bitches, as soon as you apply the saliva of the opposite sex topically. But it's kinda six of one, half dozen of another.
I can't speak much to why women like to date assholes, aside from some generalized psychobabbling about wanting to fix them and feel needed and so on. But given my dating history, I think I can speak pretty authoritatively to why men like to date the crazies:
It's the sex, stupid.
Well, not the sex per se, necessarily, but the promise of sex. Kind, sane and stable women can be flip-out Katie-bar-the-door monkey-crazy in bed, but you can't tell by looking at them. Crazy women (no matter how bad they may be in bed in reality) look like they're halfway there already.
"If she's willing to break a bottle over my head in public," we think, "just think of what she'll be willing to do in private."
There are different kinds of crazy chicks, of course.
"I will cry after. Also, during. And a little before. This will both disgust and arouse you."
"I am a serial killer. I could skin, gut and joint you. Instead, I'll just do it emotionally. Also, that means I know how to use ropes."
"I will eat you."
You totally know the stake is there. You know she'll use it on you... someday. In the meantime...
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"Now, different strokes for different folks, but if you're a guy, you were turned on by at least three of those, and you've dated at least two. Or one repeatedly. Don't even pretend.
The question remains, of course: how can the sane and stable ladies use this information to their dating advantage?
Simple: remember, it's not about the craziness itself, it's about the promise of crazy sex that goes along with it.
Promise him the crazy sex, either implicitly or explicitly, and you've undercut the crazy-girl advantage.
I suggest explicitly. We're simple creatures.
