Violence is something that is attractive when directed at others, doubly so if the person committing the violence is hot.

Despite all the talk of "positive masculine energy" and how much they like the nice guy, there is a biological desire for safety and a deep ancestral knowledge that they are not strong enough to do it themselves. They know their beta boyfriends can't do it, not that they won't; can't. And that's not good

Women love monsters. The ultimate male sexual fantasy is to be surrounded by beautiful nubile women because we want to sow our oats. The ultimate female fantasy is to gain control over the most dangerous male who will then protect her (or fight on her behalf).

Serial killers etc are particularly attractive because they are explicitely dangerous. Plus, many are in jail which gives the woman leverage right out of the gate. None of those guys are hurting for pussy, no matter how vile their crimes.

I edit wikipedia pages about vile crimes all the time.

I take pleasure in adding the most gorey, shocking, and disgusting details that I can find verification for.

For my antics, I have a rep on wiki. I am known as "the bloody editor", and "the gore king". I was mentioned in a kvetching signpost recently.

It started with men, but women are a step behind men. It's the human desire to satisfy morbid curiosity at play here less than female nature I would presume. Everyone has morbid curiosity, women aren't any different. It's a survival mechanism to learn about potential threats. This can range from watching cartel gore videos on liveleak to being curious about someone's personal drama.

The medium and the subject matter are slightly different. Women are (generally) more interested in mainstream true crime stories published by mainstream sources.

There's still a huge following for true crime (and related genres) among men, but it has become more focused on the obscure and gruesome. Or on internet focused "true crime" mysteries. I took the time to look at a popular YouTube channel on the topic (obscure or internet related crime) and looked at their most recent video, almost all of the comments are obviously made by men. I went again, looked up "true crime" and clicked on one of the first videos I saw. Fairly mainstream. Mostly female comments.

Women see the world differently to us.

They fear everything.

They fear walking alone.

They fear being out after dark.

They fear home intruders.

Whereas guys don't care: we feel comfortable traveling the world alone and generally, never feel unsafe anywhere.

Women find true crime stories exciting because it feeds their fears, whereas guys generally find true crime stories as bland as most documentaries or detective stories.
