For that reason they'll specifically avoid guys that might really be a good partner over the long run. At the same time they don't want to be a slut so that means that they have to have a boyfriend because the relationship makes what they're doing okay. They can tell themselve they love their boyfriend and that they are a good girl friend so their conscience doesn't bother them. At the same time deep down in their heart they know their relationship with their wanna-be rock star, or drug dealer, or punk or whatever isn't really going to go anywhere. This way they get to have their fun without really giving up their freedom and they get to do it all guilt free.
I'm not sure if that's what Treelizard is talking about here though. @ Treelizard, what do you mean by abuse? Do you mean generally disrespectful treatment or are you talking about physical violence? Almost everyone goes through a few bad relationships before they find one that works; IMHO that doesn't mean you have to make a big emotional change that's just part of life. On the other hand if you're talking about girls that show a pattern of dating guys that are doing truly brutal things (ie. physical abuse as opposed to just yelling when they're mad) than that shows some seriously self-destructive behavior.
