What makes a man commit to one woman and not another?

I'm picturing a situation. A man goes through two marriages & divorces w/ women who could statistically be considered “higher risk” [details below]. Man then sees a "lower risk" woman, but keeps her at arms length. (He also appears to the "lower risk" woman to be angry/defensive re: relationships.) Does he consider the low risk woman as “not good enough” or has he given up?

Woman A ["higher risk"]
* high school drop out
* had 3 kids by 3 different guys by the time she began dating this man (they then have 2 kids)
* they connected after meeting in a bar [her w/ 3 young kids at home]
* has Borderline Personality Disorder
* “She was [sexually] the nastiest girl in three counties."

Woman B ["higher risk"]
* also had 3 kids by 3 different guys by the time she began dating this man
* Woman B’s friends warned this man that she had a history of cheating (which she repeated, leading to man initiating divorce < 1-year after the marriage began)
* “She was polite.” & “She payed her bills.”

Woman C ["lower risk"]
* college educated w/ state job
* one child
* “[She’s] a good person.”

He's scared of getting hurt again. 7
Woman C just sucks. 3

    I don't think any of those three women are good options. I wouldn't want to get involved with a woman who has children.

    Could be the man is simply attracted to train wrecks and a normal woman does not offer him the chance to try to "fix" her. Either that or you're just a glutton for punishment. You know in test, option C is statistically the most often correct answer.

        Why would an option for choice c be that the woman sucks? No normal man seriously dates a woman with children from other men, only desperate men do that.

    Depends on maturity level, and life experiences.

    However, Woman C, just be yourself and work hard. Stop obsessing about what men like, want, need, and just focus on what you need. What do you need from your partner? What kind of person are you and your child compatible with? Because molding yourself to be what everyone wants/desires is how you lose yourself, and complicating a simple maturity issue everyone goes through (wanting sex all the time, etc) is how you become bitter and jaded.
