I have REVISED MY BATMAN / BRUCE WAYNE THEORY, in exchange for the Gary Oldman version of Commissioner Gordon Theory. 
Like...seriously, Batman??
You didn’t kill the Joker. You are SUCH a pussy. 
Vixxa’s Theoretical Ideal Man Recipe.
1 part Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordon in the Christopher Nolan Batman series 
1 part Roger Rabbit (let me count the ways....total devotion to Jessica and can make her laugh!! AWW.)
1 part Rob Zombie. Rocker, likes horror and goth stuff, but seems like he would be a ton of fun and very smart and probably tons of fun in bed.
1 part Gingerbread Man **SEE BELOW**
((I’m keeping my former Batman Theory up for general entertainment)). 
Original Batman/Bruce Wayne Theory
--minus leaving me in the end to be a crusader and stressing and worrying about him dying.
Other possible pit-fall(s) on dating Batman: 
-caring more about society than me. Ultimately we would need to compromise and although I would support his crusade and pursue an independent life and mission of my own, I would also need to come first...cuz if momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.
-Will most likely need psychotherapy to better communication skills and not process his own traumatic past.
Plusses for dating the caped crusader:
-million dollar bank account
-big mansion where I could do Vixxa photo-shoots anytime I wanted with any theme and any costume, outfit, and props I wanted
-wicked car that's 100% bullet and fire proof
-kinky bat cave where we could be all alone
-cool butler AND private chauffeur that offers words of wisdom at the perfect moment and happens to be MICHAEL CAINE 
-tortured, deep soul who could empathize with my issues with PTSD 
-genuinely good man out to destroy destroy evil
-sweet martial arts training
-access to bangin' hallucinogens (hahaha, actually I'm not really into hallucinogens, unless they were part of a really bad-ass warrior training ala Rahj A Ghoul...i still don't know how to spell his name...).
Watch for any further revisions. ;)

Definitions of Abuse


How can we stop or prevent something of which we are not aware of?
As a dancer, a model, and even a retail sales manager in the mall, I have experienced things that, in retrospect, I did not recognize as abuse because abuse (to me) was normal...I had been abused by my dad, so had grown familiar with a sneaky abuser’s tactics.
Fortunately, through different friendships and relationships, as well as counseling, reading, and therapy, I learned what abuse was. One main thing to realize is that abuse is a violation of your boundaries. Sometimes, we “abuse” each other in small ways, but these often turn out to be harmless. It is when the abuse becomes chronic, or repetitive, or continues after you’ve asked the person to stop the behavior that bothers you, that it really becomes a problem. 
I mention “dancers” here specifically, because the modeling/dancing industry attracts some very good, pretty, smart women that have psychological damage from upbringing and abusive relationships. They often end up having to make ends meet on their own, and forge careers against challenging circumstances. Please read, and check out the other sites listed below as great reference tools!!

Stay Safe!!
