I did some research and these are the answers I got.
There are a few possible reasons why.
The first one being is that a woman bonds with a 'bad boy' and doesn't see his bad side whilst first getting to know him. The woman falls in love with his charms, and relates him back to the person he was when he was putting effort in and gaining the woman's trust. She forgives him again and again, because he does have a 'good side' as he showed it in the beginning. It usually takes a woman a long time to accept the fact that the 'good side' was all just an act to gain the woman's trust, and now he has her wrapped around his little finger he is showing his true colours. A lot of women are subconsciously aware of this, but they follow their emotions and not their heads, thinking that they should always try even at their own expense. Many of these 'bad boys' are clever, manipulative, machiavellian abusers who know exactly how to push people's buttons and to make others feel sorry for them.
The second one is codependency issues. Women are more prone to this than men because of their natural instinct to have someone rely on them and to nurture and to make others happy. If a woman is mentally and emotionally unbalanced these natural behaviours can spiral out of control, causing the woman to completely base her life on a 'never ending project' so that she feels a sense of purpose, at her own and others expense.
The third one is histrionic personality disorder. Women are also more prone to this than men, because of their natural instinct to please and make others happy. If a woman is mentally or emotionally unbalanced, these natural behaviours can spiral out of control. Histrionics crave attention, whether it be negative or positive. They often relish drama and purposefully bring drama into their lives to get a reaction from people, or to feel 'loved' or noticed.
Notice the resemblance to our leads.
