Well, my two cents is that it's all about wanting to change a man. If you've got a guy who is an asshole, then you want to change him into a nice sweet guy. You've conquered him, bent him to your will. This is something girls are taught at an early age. Something about horses.
Of course, once you've fixed him, taken the bad boy out of him, he's no longer a challenge and not worth your time. On to the next conquest. Guys do the same thing, only with sex. Girls don't want guys who don't need to be "fixed" and guys don't want a girl who won't put out.
I think it's funny that both sexes bitch about the habits of the other without recognizing that this is the way they're socialized, and probably aren't in full control of it.
Hopefully, by the time girls have grown up to be women, they've gotten over the "fix him" impulse. Sadly though it's rare.
