Many dudes heard of a woman saying to a guy, "You look like a player". Just how men are intimidated by women's good looks, I believe women are too as of thinking if a guy looks good and dresses decent, he has a lot of options. This isn't all women, probably the ones who think themselves aren't up to par or don't have their life together.
I think that's why women date down because being with a quality man, he'll leave her ass in a heartbeat of not putting up with her shit, she'll think he'll cheat on her or choose a better women. People in general who don't have many options settle for any damn thing.
These thug dudes aren't as tough as you think. They hit females with these stories of people not being in their lives, their mothers don't want them, etc. so females eat that shit up and that's one of the many reasons they'll stick with a street dude though it could be used as a form of manipulation.
