Why are men suckers for a damsel in distress?
The damsel in distress is potently seductive for men because it is instinctual for most men to want to protect or "save" a woman. It's archetypal. In saving the damsel, the dynamics are set to affirm the man's masculinity in being the stong protector, while casting the woman as perhaps more fragile in nature, in such a way as to affirm basic gender roles. Men are suckers for the damsel because it seems to work virtually the same way no matter how genuine the threatening situation is, for instance, if the woman acts the damsel and it is far-fetched, the man will gloss over the obvious to maintain the seductive illusion as he wants to see it.
