(18,672 posts)Some guys do not have the self-esteem, character or desire to deal with a strong woman. If he marries a girl who is 14 - 16, he can play daddy and maybe have 10 -15 years, in some cases much longer, where he can manipulate and control her. Eventually many women get to the point in their 30's when they aren't willing to put up with this anymore, and the tables start to turn, or they get out of the relationshiop. Some women never put up with being controlled, so it's pretty much a gamble for the insecure male.
On edit: tTo clarify, I'm only talking about insecure men, not all men. Secure men can hold their own with anyone, even a "pocket picking" female. Of course many people want a somewhat malleable partner, but I think this guy's being a bit extreme.
