If a guy is a jerk to everyone else and charming to a girl, she feels special, and, to quote the Nostalgia Chick, “Women want a project!” Stephanie probably wants to fix Jeremy.
Even if she didn’t, she and Stephan are probably too similar to be anything more than friends anyway. Chances are the two of them share the same flaws that they don’t notice in themselves but find incredibly annoying in other people. Case in point, the fact that they have/had crushes on Felicia and Jeremy, and both crush objects are popular bullies.
It actually has one of the weirdest evolutionary bases: if a mother has the children of someone who is likely to abandon them, they have more difficulty and less chance of success raising those children. However, this is more than offset by the chance of those children having many children of their own by multiple different mothers. Rather disturbing idea, but it makes sense.
Okay, if you know somebody is an asshole to other people and you nevertheless want to go out with him? I’m sorry, but I think that makes you an unfeeling asshole yourself. Like if your thinking is “Well, he hasn’t done anything bad to ME, so I don’t care how he treats other people.”
I never understood that sort of logic as a kid…Even now, I still don’t get why some girls have that train of thought.
It’s called shallowness. That’s both the reason and the label for the thought.

I suspect Stephanie was trying to get some message across here…

And the very next day, Stephan joined the Red Pill subreddit.
One minor problem that theory is that the Red Pill subreddit didn’t exist in 2001.
Wait till Stephanie actually tries to talk to Jeremy, and receives some form of abuse that doesn’t involve hitting.
How would a blockhead like Jeremy do that to a girl?
He just doesn’t hit girls. His policy has nothing against tying them in knots.
