The chances of you actually knowing two authentically clinically diagnosed narcissists in your lifetime is extremely rare. Arrogance is not Narcissism. ==I understand your concern== I wonder about the same thing. I am resisting the "codependent" theory that would seem to indicate we may be magnets for narcissists and other abusers. I would hate to think that is true(?!). I am trying to establish better boundaries for myself. I have vowed never to take any more sh*t from any man. If I am uncomfortable with something, I will either confront the issue directly for a solution or make the decision to end the relationship (depending on the degree of discomfort or alarm I feel. Some things CAN be worked out in a "normal" relationship.) The bottom line may be: We can't change or fend off the narcissists in our world, but we can change to create barriers to protect ourselves. Healthy self-esteem and proper boundaries may be the key. I am determined not to let this happen to me again!

A narcissist doesn't always use another woman as N supplyit can be another source right?

Yes, I believe that this is true, it doesn't have to be another woman. I have recently witnessed someone that I believe is a narcissist (but not a malignant narcissist) go FROM an NS of male friends TO an NS of another woman. But the male friends were the NS for quite some time. I think the narcissist will use as an NS anyone - male or female - that satisfies his need for narcissistic supply.

Narcissist in love with a narcissist?

It's certainly possible. A narcissist may date another narcissist that is more selfish than they are to feel better about themselves. In turn say "i'm not as selfish as he/she is so that makes me above him/her). It's incredible and shocking the way people with this disorder think. It takes a lot of research to understand a narcissist.
