Don't know about this theory. I certainly could be very wrong in this, but I don't think men are attracked to "the crazy" as much as they are willing to put up with "the crazy" in order to be with the one they want. Ugly crazy women generally end up as cat/bag ladies, and sane perfect 10's generally get married at 22 to a rich guy or professional athlete. I think women know how much crazy they can get away with in any given situation, and that's how crazy they're going to be, unless they no longer give a sh*t about that particular situation, in which case all bets are off!

The worst thing I ever went through in life was unrequited love. I felt like I was truly, deeply falling in love at 26 years old (I wrote about it). It was greatest feeling I ever knew. As quickly as I was falling in love, the relationship dissolved. She was getting out of a relationship when me met, so I was “rebound” person. The overlapping of feelings in those situations are hard to conceptualize. You never want to be the person discovering love when someone else is sorting out their inability to give it.

I’m the crazy bpd chick. My current boyfriend is genuinely attracted to headcases. It’s probably the best setup two people like us can expect. I’m looking forward to your post on age gap relationships. We have an 11 year difference.
