I've seen a lot of men who deliberately seek out women who have mental problems, because they feel they would be easily taken advantage of. They use them, abuse them, then dump 'em. And when there are reprocussions -- the men can't understand why! If you know things are gonna come back and bite you in the butte, why get involved with these women in the first place?

I think there are many people, both men and women, who seek out those who are disabled in some way and take advantage of them. I would guess men are a bit more guilty of this, but who knows. Eitehr way, it is sad when anyone who is vulnerable for whatever reason is used and abused. There are so many things that happen in this world that I don't understand....

Honestly? I'd guess probably some sort of traumatic situation in the men's past.

In some families if you aren't on the top then you are on the bottom so they only see relationships like this and have never experienced nice relationships. This is also how some victims choose to deal with their demons, by becoming a perpetrator. They see it as either you are a victim or you are a perpetrator and they are done with being the victim. Finally, healthy people wouldn't let these kind of dysfunctional guys get anywhere near them.

Some probably do it subconsciously. It's in our nature to find a "mate" to "continue the species" But do they need to be such jerks about it? No. Men suck.

I tend to do the opposite - I sense vulnerability, and I get protective. Anything else doesn't compute.
Why some males use and abuse (and I know some women do this too) I don't understand. Has to be either narcissism, flat out enjoying control, or compensation for feeling powerless, I suppose. It ticks the rest of us off, I know that. |

People take advantage of others for their own benefit - I agree with DailyHealing’s post. I have Asperger’s Syndrome and have a hard time understanding social situations, and I have been around women that have taken advantage of this fact to take money from me. Indeed, such experiences are so commonplace for me that, when combined with other experiences, makes it difficult for me to understand why any women wants anything to do with me other than for their own advantage.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
