Womanisers

LignumVitae

What makes them tick: a lack of understanding of women and a view that women are but one dimension, bless their tiny minds.

How to deal with them: play them back or ignore them, never see them as anything more than they are and never ever fall for their 'charm' or tricks.

Genuine men talk to you in an open, honest and genuine way, it isn't hard to tell the two apart.

What do you mean by a womaniser, an over zealous flirt?
Why have you problems with a man?

Don't like them at all Tody, BUT I am old enough to know I won't 'change' them into a decent reliable partner even though they may appear to be funny charismatic etc

A womaniser is a man who often shows some the following characteristics: he's vain, shallow, unreliable, emotionally lazy, immature, self-obssessed, easily bored, untrustworthy, smug, far too sure of himself, perfect in his eyes and no mere woman could possibly match up to the required exacting standards of worship at his altar, hence the constant flitting from female to female. Simon Cowell strikes me as the classic example. DD

Oh DD just what I would have said.... if I had been good with words.. love it

IMHO they are just like children let loose in a sweet shop, sweet shop syndrome! there is always someone better/different/more perfect/ controllable/and will shower with affection as DD said *will worship at their alter*

Personally I choose to ignore them because that's the opposite to what they crave.

They aren't above having a good old tantrum either.

I can't beat DD's answer. I can't even add to it.

However, your second question puzzles me, Tody. Don't we all want to feel loved? I know I do. I know I'd be utterly miserable if I felt no-one loved me. And I know that love is something that must be shared, once experienced. As far as I'm concerned life is about loving and being loved. Everything else is peripheral.

Only if you want me to be.

A womaniser bothering with blokes? Why? They won't give him what he feels is his due. They have more sense. DD

PS Blokes? Sense? I must be tired.

PPS I extend my thanks to all who complimented my post. SC is not the only male example; there is the female version too but she is usually called a far cruder name.

PPPS I'm spending the week-end with Simon because he needs me. Simples. DD

Womanisers are basically insecure and emotionally immature men who need constant reassurance from women that they are God's gift to the female sex. They are so insecure that when they receive that reassurance from one woman, they still crave for more. It's a bit like being addicted to a drug, and doesn't usually bring them happiness in the long run.

It’s suggested that those who experience emotional trauma, abuse, depression, or neglect in childhood are at greater risk of becoming addicted in this way, but there's no single explanation.

Most women with any sense steer well clear of men like this.

That kind Tody and I am pretty sure most sensible women do not really want to be with a man like that.

For a second there I thought I was ready the personals and was going to answer because of the great fit. Just kidding! I think the shallow is likely the biggest attribute followed closely by immature. I don't think so much emotionally immature as emotionally void.

womanisers only love themselves.They always made me feel uneasy as they can be very demanding as they are used to getting their own way. I have always tried to avoid them like the plague but sadly attracted a few in my younger days! You have to be incredibly polite in order to get rid of them otherwise they never forgive you.
