[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny you ask that - a few weeks ago, I ended things with a man I had been dating for about 3 months, because I could see he had anger issues that were starting to come out. The next day, he was involved in a road rage incident that got him arrested, thrown in jail with no bond, and several felony aggravated assault charges.

In his case, I just really don’t think he saw anything wrong with his behavior. Anytime he raged, he always blamed the other person. And nobody ever held him accountable, even now I’ve heard his friends saying he’s such a great guy, he doesn’t deserve to be in jail, etc. They’ve excused it with “he has a low tolerance for nonsense, so the other person must have brought it on themselves”.

[b]So overall I think a large part is a lack of accountability. [/b]People tend to walk on eggshells around those men to avoid pissing them off. Especially accountability from other men. Oh, and also with the guy I had been seeing, he immediately ran back to his ex-gf and she’s been handling his legal stuff. So the consequences are very low. [/quote]

Exactly. If you get hostile enough, most people fold. Angry men realize that and use their aggression for their own benefit. There is no reason to stop, unless they finally meet their match and get arrested. If you don't mind being a noisy, uncouth person in public, you can exploit other people's sense of decorum. It's the alpha male mentality.

My best friend's husband is a nice person most of the time, but can get really loud when he's angry. I've seen people fold in front of his anger, which means there are no repercussions. My friend refuses to cooperate when he's like this, and walks away, but there are no repercussions beyond that. She's never going to divorce him, because he's a good enough husband and father the rest of the time. So there are no real consequences at all for this guy.
