A lot of people don't read the bios/description on tinder profiles, though that wouldn't be an actual counter to this.
There are women out there that legitimately find bad men appealing or even become obsessed with them. The "hot mugshot" guy Jeremy Meeks had tons of women obsessed with him and he isn't really attractive at all. Charles Manson has/had young women want to marry him whilst he was in prison. I'm from MA and when Aaron Hernandez of the New England Patriots was in jail there were droves of women calling for his release because he was hot to them. I could go on and on.
These women aren't really obsessed with these men because of the way they look, as there are plenty of men that are decent and normal individuals who look just like these guys. It's a combination of celebrity status, at least with the people I mentioned above, and the idea of being with a bad boy as being exciting. These women are bat**** crazy and legitimately ****ed up individuals, and I actually think this is more common than you'd think.
I personally know of a few people in my area in AZ that were definitely criminals of some type that engaged in sketchy behavior, I don't specifically know what they do or did but I have a strong feeling that it was very shady.
Whilst I was finishing up my degree I had a part time evening job delivering for a national pizza chain in my area. The shift lead, who became the general manager shortly after I started, was in his late 30s and went on about how he got out of prison less than a year before for "gangbanging", he had been in for over 6 years. He was overweight, not attractive and covered in tatoos, including his face and neck, but had several kids with several different women.
There is another guy I came across last fall that I'm pretty sure might have been a drug dealer, I had overheard some conversations that pointed to this. He was short, out of shape, not particularly attractive and was not a very bright individual, had no charisma at all to the slightest degree. Despite this he was landing hot girls all the time, granted they are trashy and useless individuals just like him but it's still an interesting observation.
