I have definitely seen the monster girl be turned into a wonderful and lovely person worthy of adoration and respect, who is now only a monster on the outside; the snakegirl who just wants a hug, the wifwolf that wants someone to be equally loyal to her, the oni who is happy to help you do weight training and make you into a man worthy of carrying her off.

My mind boggles at the number of women men must have tried to fix or help out, only to be bitten by them and think to themselves "what a waste of time, I'll never try that again." I know I have one of those personalities that attracts the daddy-issues women and I've tried being their therapist and getting them to fix their shit, but it never takes. Most weren't even ones I was in a relationship with, just nearby at the time; co-workers, neighbors, sister of friends, etc. Gimme the manticore any day, I like my odds with that one better.
