Episode 37: Why Do Women Fall For Felons? Its A Condition! (2025)

What is it that attracts a disproportionate number of normally sane women to follow, contact and even marry murderers, gangsters and generally tough, bad men? Apparently it's a condition known as Hybristophilia - a phenomenon characterised by sexual interest in and attraction to those who commit crimes. Lots of examples in this episode including the most recent and current case of a girl fan movement around alleged assassin Luigi Mangione in New York. Maybe you've thought about or become a prisoner's pen pal or a prison visitor or even found a fixation with a hot felon. Or maybe it's someone you know who's head has been turned? Hopefully this half hour will help to explain what's going on.
