Luigi Mangione’s Sex Appeal Due to Robin Hood Bad Boy Fixer-Upper Combo, Doc Says

Even before a suspect was identified, people were cheering the UnitedHealthcare CEO killer … but it went to a whole new level when a face was finally seen — and admirers’ parts started to tingle.

Here’s the deal … Luigi Mangione was apprehended Monday … and hours later, the Manhattan D.A. charged him with murder in the brazen December 4 fatal shooting of Brian Thompson.

Renowned sex doc Laura Berman tells TMZ … women have found notorious criminals attractive in the past — Ted Bundy being a classic example — but she’s never seen the thirst level that’s been on display for the suspect Mangione.

Not only is Mangione seen as physically hot … he’s also perceived as a Robin Hood of sorts and the ultimate fixer-upper … which Dr. Berman tells us sends his sex appeal through the roof.

For some throwing around the peach and eggplant emojis … they might not even be aware their lust is also driven by biology and evolution … Dr. Berman explains that women are more attracted to “bad boys” … ’cause they’re risk takers — meaning they’re perceived as bold hunter-gathers and protectors.

As we reported … Etsy has pulled a lot of items with Luigi’s infamous face … fan-made merch flooded the e-commerce site after his arrest.

GoFundMe also recently removed all campaigns created for Mangione … telling TMZ they violated the rule of not seeking money for legal defense of violent crimes.
