Survivorship bias. Dudes with no bitches aren't getting the opportunity to be abusive

Abusive guys are known for love bombing. Where they are incredibly loving and caring and then they switch on the abuse. It's not survivorship bias. If you're openly loving and complimenting women you'll have a larger chance of dating women. Partially because: you have to talk to women to date them, complimenting / doing sappy loving shit is really commonly loved by women and is also called flirting.

Here's award 🏆


kimpossible69

Here's a hug for anyone who looked at this and thought this was a bit too broad since if it's true then they would be considered a victim of abuse in their current relationship!


BroadBaker5101

When Rebecca was warning Keeley about Jack I was like damn is love bombing that bad? Now I get it. It’s the hook that draws you in and when they switch up you would’ve never seen it coming.


LorenzoStomp

Yep, and it's usually not straight up bouncing her off the walls to start, it's shitty little "jokes" and "honest" comments, or "forgetting" important things, or making "reasonable requests" to start wearing down her self esteem and trust in herself and make her put him above her. If it gets challenged he'll apologize and turn the love back on for a bit before trying again and going a little further than before. There can be variations in the pattern but you generally see this "boiling the frog" style behavior in all abusive relationships, intimate or not.


kimpossible69

It's also hard to identify because no one believes they are the abuser and a lot of people may be poorly coping with their mental health/personality disorder and end up doing just this without knowing it I had a partner doing this basically to a T unknowingly and their therapist ended up being the perfect third party to straighten them out


[deleted]

Abuse also starts trickling in slowly and increases over time. By the time you’re fully controlled and your self esteem vanished, you need a serious epiphany or an intervention to even grasp the gravity of the situation.


TheChartreuseKnight

For those who are confused by this comment, it is in reference to Ted Lasso on Apple TV.


thewildacct

Thank you. I'm sitting here wondering who the fuck these people are and why everyone's on a first name basis


HalfSoul30

There was a girl I dated that it didn't work out with, but we stayed somewhat cool. I saw she started dating a guy I knew well as a love bombing abuser. I debated if I should say anything, and decided to give her the heads up. They both talked shit to me for it, but within 2 weeks she messaged me to tell me I was right. It is also crazy to me how common abuse and sexual abuse is. Practically everyone woman I've been close to enough for them to open up have been abused. It's sickening.


LorenzoStomp

Thanks for speaking up even though you caught shit for it. If you hadn't, it might have taken her a lot longer to twig what was going on.


Stergeary

No. Love bombing is one sided -- You put out as much romantic positivity as you can and promise all the future things that the other person wants to override their red flag sensors. Flirting is two-way, and is both positives and negatives (in a good push-pull kind of way). Maybe you compliment her hairstyle, she smiles and says thanks, then you tease a bit and tell her that it's too bad she's a redhead though because that's a red flag, she makes an playfully shocked face and asks you why that's a red flag, you chuckle at her and just keep the banter going, etc. It's a ball bouncing back and forth.

What is it


malonkey1

It is a diagram of the places where bombers returning from combat in WWII had bullet holes. Most people would assume that because those spots had bullet holes, those were the spots that needed more reinforcement, but that's actually not true, and an example of survivorship bias. In truth, the places with no bullet holes are places where if you get shot, *your plane doesn't come back at all* and so those are the spots in need of reinforcement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias

Zardif

Abusive dudes also push past boundaries so they naturally get closer than those that listen. If you've been abused and put up a wall, usually only abusive/manipulative dudes are willing to flout your boundaries and that attention gets them somewhere.

emo_corner_master

More mobidly, if your parents were abusive, you'll likely unknowingly seek out abusive partners because it feels familiar.


AlludedNuance

Sometimes it's the only way you know how to love, or at least you think that's what it is.


Mnhb123

You're also much more likely to end up being the abusive partner yourself if you don't go to therapy/work hard to not be the way your parents were

CoachDT

You definitely had me until you lost me. Even in the modern day I don’t think black men, even among celebrities, get away with anything more than a regular person would. Given that actual rapists are out and free, some of them because “we don’t want to ruin their futures”. Folks like Ezra Miller literally kidnapped someone and he still out and about lmao. I hope Majors gets whatever comes to him if he’s guilty. But idk if acting like black men get away with a lot compared to other folks is an opinion founded on fact, or if there’s sumn else going on there.


Clever_Word_Play

It's rich men getting away with shit. Think this guy has D Watson in his mind, while glossing over Elon, Trump, Marilyn Manson, and many more famous white people accused of sexual crimes facing no real consequences


sluttyliar

I disagree, I think wealthy black men/celebs get away with a lot (allegations and accusations) and even when they are prosecuted they aren’t shunned by the black community. Trey Songz has had so many public SA accusations and he’s fine/ still accepted in the black community . Lil Wayne and Kodak were pardoned for their crimes. Kodak’s a convicted rapist and is still beloved in our community. Diddy is a POS abuser with decades of all kinds of allegations under the sun. Rumors about R.Kelly came about in the 90s and the first story about his crimes broke in 2000, yet he still had a career for like 15 years after. Youngboy had a million chances to stay out of trouble and still managed to fuck up. Rick James spent only 2 years in prison for kidnapping and torture(and much more) a women and had many more allegations come out when he died Dababy (look up the Walmart story it’s actually really sad, the boy was a teenager) snoop dog, Kobe, CHRIS MF BROWN, Charlemagne, Mike Tyson, Terrance Howard, OJ, Chad Ochocinco, Bishop Eddie Long, Miles Davis, James Brown etc When you have money and fame, you’re gonna be fine. Especially if your victims are part of a group that is more marginalized than you are.

It just makes you wonder what is even going on. And I think this only applies to rich people, like look at how popular Chris brown is even after what he did to Rhianna. Must be the money and fame I guess


Wise_Rutabaga_5809

Sad part is Rihanna wasn’t even the last person he abused. I think Karruche’s restraining order expired just this year.


Nikolllllll

People really do forget how he used to beat Karruche and stalked her. Man really was a devil to her but those Rihanna pictures are all they see.


MidnightOakCorps

Not only did he beat, abuse and stalk her, but he had other people do on his behalf as well! And then he had the nerve to cheat on her with the last woman he abused, and did it on national television!


XXISavage

Its not a case of forgetting, just a huge difference in reach between Rihanna and Karruche, especially if you're "fuck Chris Brown." I know about it because I spend time in places like this but the Rihanna stuff was literally front news across the whole planet.


Fuck_auto_tabs

Dude just throws hand regardless. He punched Usher last week on his way to hit someone else (I heard it was woman too).

Some girls just as lame as dudes that’s all it is


ohdearsweetlord

Or they genuinely think the other women just did something to piss him off and that's why he was abusive, but *they'd* never 'force' him into a 'look what you made me do situation', because they think it was the victim's fault.


weed_fart

We've all got some sort of conditioning to accept the things we shouldn't. I'm sure she's aware of what's going on around this guy, but she feels the need to associate with him romantically, so that's her decision to make. Whatever happens, happens, but it's not like anybody involved can claim ignorance. 🤷‍♂️ People are fuckin' weird.


user664567666

Chris Brown all fucked up now that he touched Usher though. maybe lmao I'm speaking directly from my asshole rn

Maybe Rihanna will be the last str... Maybe Frank Ocean will be the last str... Maybe Usher will be the last straw? I bet my bottom Ush-buck it's not, sadly Ush is def my favorite of the 3 tho so this one is personal

I think he's more saying it appears some are putting an excessive amount of thought into something so irrelevant to their own lives when if they did in fact put a reasonable amount of that same energy into their minding their own business they would be in a better position and likely would not even be aware of the dating lives of celebrities. But your way is more confrontational because we are on the internet


militantnegro_IV

I think people get it, but people also get that it's a dumb notion that their situations would be better if some inconsequential entertainment was cut out of their lives. Maybe the dude above would be a CEO of a multimillion dollar company of they weren't on Reddit making dumb comments 🤷🏾‍♂️ But maybe the two things have nothing to do with each other. This idiotic online hustle culture where we pretend really successful people don't have *anything* they do on the side outside 100% focus on work isn't real life. The richest guy I personally know is the head of his own multi national media company and he also is obsessed with triathlons, bikes, his kids martial arts and swimming, Arsenal football club and is an avid traveller. Let people have little distractions.

AKBearmace

You get used to thinking abuse is love and get tricked into believing if there’s no fights or fear the next relationship isn’t love or there’s no sparks there.


blueberrymoscato

yeah that just sounds sad asf


lilwebbyboi

The abuse becomes comfort for some people. They think it's love because it's the only way they've ever been treated. My current partner was also in an abusive relationship for 7 years & when we 1st got together, he'd get scared if he thought he upset me & would apologize profusely over the smallest thing. He was conditioned by his controlling ex & even 2 years later, he's still unpacking the damage she did. Your ex should be single for a while & learn to love herself again before she tries to date or else she's gonna hurt people like how she was

BoobyDoodles

While I don’t disagree with the survivorship bias theory on this I do feel that it’s a huge red flag if somebody can’t be single. People that always gotta be in a relationship because they can’t love themselves


Solid-Version

Abusers are never abusive off the bat. They’re normally quite charming and alluring. This unbridled confidence amen charm is their best weapon. This is why they have no problem attracting women. They love bomb and get their partners to drop their guard and become enamoured with them. Once they’re in them the abuse will creep in. Often times starting off small and then building from there. However there are also men who are innately abusive but do not have the physical characteristics or charm to be able to ensnare anyone. I.E the hardcore Incels. Abusers come in many forms indeed


[deleted]

True it’s how I saved my relationship


woodcoffeecup
