Women who fall for a shitbag, with a known history of being a dirtbag, but think he will be different with them are very common. Just takes stupidity, amorality and low self-esteem. Ask Ethan Ralph’s wife. But I don’t think this applies to Lowtax’s wives, and only sort of to Logan Day. Maybe true for the different goonettes that it’s rumored he slept with over the years.
His first wife was a normal woman who had zero interaction with SA or the internet before meeting Rich. The Canadian wife also had no idea who he was, so I’m sure his “young failed marriage, tried to work it out but she was psycho” seemed believable given she only had his narrative to go on for a long time. I’d assume she only got real background on Lowtax after it was far too late. Still she seemed to genuinely want to help him but she didn’t have much choice. She was in a terrible predicament given she had a baby and had overstayed her visa, meaning she was really fucked and could easily be deported and banned from the USA and permanently separated from her daughter.
Logan Day otoh looked at Lowtax as a e-famous internet daddy that would raise her internet cred. She hoped to become the woman behind the “valuable, legendary, SA brand”, the incubator of early internet comedy! She was well aware of Lowtax being married with a small child and gave no fucks because she wanted an internet famous boyfriend, lots of attention and a “brand” to let her play girl boss.
It was at least an equal relationship in the sense that they were both using each other, he was using her for sex and she was using him for e-fame and job title. She probably thought the previous girls just weren’t cool enough. She otoh was a quirky, outrageous, edgy, misunderstood savant just like Lowtax. She thought of fucking Lowtax as a career move, as absurd as that may seem. He enjoyed having a young chick massage his ego and show feet. Might have worked out okay, for awhile, if they both weren’t severely mentally ill, narcissistic, and drunk/high most of the time.
Neither Lowtax or Logan were able to handle being adults, people like them usually find partners to leech off of and force them to deal with the pesky adult stuff they can’t be bothered with. It’s why their brief Union was such a hilarious shitshow.
