You guys have to realize that, even though a lot of these women are living unhappy lives, that its their choice to begin with and its up to them to want to change. 9/10 times, this is the case where they just cant get themselves out of it, regardless of what kind of support they have around them.
Its sad, infact very sad to see and hear stories like this everyday, all the time. But theres only so much we can do right?

I've never been in an abusive relationship, but have done a lot of volunteering for domestic violence organizations and have done stories about the issue. One thing to note is that abusers tend to isolate the person they are abusing, they systematically cut them off from friends and family so that once the person reaches the point of realizing they are in real danger and things aren't going to change, they are almost completely dependent on their abuser.
Unfortunately, it's not as simple and packing a bag and walking away. It's really easy for people to say it wouldn't happen to them or what not, but it's not a black and white situation.

The same goes for a certain number of men as well, seeking the attention of the aloof woman. I think it has to do with pride, like "how dare this person not find me desirable! Perhaps if I follow them around like a puppydog they will see my charms."
