Narcissistic people can prey on submissive women or shy women. I call these "lazy Narcissists." It's a form of abuse. It's easier to manipulate a submissive woman (often confused with a woman that is kind and loving, quite normal) than one that is feisty. I dislike the word "Narcissistic" because this is a difficult label to define. A person could be a perfectionist, abuser, a control freak, etc., but it doesn't make them necessarily a narcissist and only a professional can determine that. Other than rape or murder I don't believe that any human being can be controlled unless they want to be controlled. Marcy I WAS going through a difficult time in my marriage and I am pretty fiesty however in the wake of the shattered marriage illlusions, I became vulnerable and needy and guess what??? The narcissist in my life picked it up immediately. To be perfectly honest, I appraoched him for some affection (with boundradies) and that was all it took. Two and half years later, I'm struggling with the denial or self-blame phase of recovery that makes me want to scream. What was I thinking? So now it's time to forgive. Me. Then him. But that parts way off. What can I say. They love it. They see you're needy and they work it. The best advice I can give is to move away. Find another way to deal with your marriage woes. HE is not the answer. He can make life hell. Besides, I think this would be his absolute best blood sucking adventure. A married women choosing him over her husand! Then when they're over it, they're over you.
I think they are more likely to, but if their wives shower them with the loads and loads of attention they need, then they won't.
A narcissist doesn't feel jealousy, but rather doesn't like losing his prey. He likes control and wants his prey back to continue to abuse and demean his victim. Narcissists have no respect for women whatsoever!
Of course, they deny anything that doesnt fit into their master plan. Remember a narcissists is only concerned with three things, me, myself and I. Run dont walk in the other direction and find a person that has a healthy mentality.
A narcissist can direct their rage towards multiple people, not just one. They may exhibit a pattern of blaming and attacking those they perceive to threaten their ego or sense of superiority. This behavior is often rooted in their need for admiration and control over others.
Hmm. Not to sure about that one. Considering they love "themselves", they probably don't. In reading Sam's material and others, married folks are actually a great target for an N - so are virgins. Sam says the more complicated the situation, the greater the amount of supply they will extract in "the win". Virgins (esp. those who want to stay that way) and married people represent complicated and challenging situations. I know my N did have affairs with married people, and did date virgins (they do exist). He told me there was a great satisfaction in getting a married woman to fall in love with him and leave her husband for him. He would then leave her. This must have given him quite a boost of the ego. -AlwaysLearning They will prey on anyone who will give them supply...they don't care if your married or not
they, themselves are weak.
Women and Children
Yes, men and women!
and they they must have had a rocky childhood.
The speaker compares the plight of women to that of the beasts because they are dependent on men. Beasts on the other hand are dependent on their prey.
An older man dating younger women is commonly referred to as a "sugar daddy" or in some cases as a "May-December" relationship.
Even psychiatrists can't answer this question. A Narcissist has a deep core in them that is extremely complex (many things in one) and their behavior is usually learned from their environment (family.) Example: A young man or woman growing up can be over-shadowed by a mother/father that never lets him/her grow up, or a cruel mother/father or one that deserts him/her, thus, he/she begins to hate the opposite sex. A Narcissist is about control and therefore when a woman/man speaks of love for them the Narcissist feels owned or possessed and they don't like the feeling because they need that total control. Narcissist almost always choose submissive type personalities (easier to control and play head games with.) This DOES NOT mean that a shy or loving mate of a Narcissist is weak at all. The Narcissist is simply the preditor and the victim is their prey. Some Narcissists can hate women or vice-versa with a vengence, but then again, many men/women can hate the opposite sex and not be a Narcissist. Some Narcissists adore women and really try to have a normal relationship, but of course it always fails because of the control issue.
