Are all womanizers Sociopaths?

What do you think?

I knew a cyclepath once

he went round the bend

[bananarama]

What do you think?


:hugesmile: No..They are simply sexually active in accordance to human nature.......

If it comes from a psychologist..."BIN IT"

[rapunza1977]

According to a new study they have a low IQ! Men that cheat apparently have a low IQ, so I suppose your JT's, Ashleys and Tigers are all a wee bit thick :)

A "new study". What new study and where?

I don't believe this. People from all walks of life cheat. Don't mean they are thick. They just don't hold as many morals as others perhaps.

[Crimson Dynamo]

what is a womanizer?

i dont think such a thing exists

Perhaps cheating and not holding many morals is due to a lack of understanding of moral issues and the effect on others - hence low IQ! :hugesmile:

Nah. It's just selfish behaviour and moral nihilism. You can't say all cheaters have low IQ.

Well, someone who uses a woman emotions to get what they want, like drain their money ect. Maneaters are about too

[InOne]

He will choose you, disarm you with his words, and control you with his presence. He will delight you with his wit and his plans. He will show you a good time, but you will always get the bill. He will smile and deceive you, and he will scare you with his eyes. And when he is through with you, and he will be through with you, he will desert you and take with him your innocence and your pride. You will be left much sadder but not a lot wiser, and for a long time you will wonder what happened and what you did wrong. And if another of his kind comes knocking at your door, will you open it?"

There is a good example and I bet every woman on here has come across someone like that in their life.

A bit dramatic - not all womanisers are clever, witty attractive men. Some are just dogs and some women aren't particularly fussy! :hugesmile:

this man said it!

its a good report and it does indeed lead you to believe simpletons have more tendancies to cheat...................obviously not all mean who have a low IQ will cheat however it states are more likely to have it in them,


there was a short article in the Sunday Express about it - I am sure there is enough chat about on the internet too

Do you think you'd be able to spot one and not be taken in by them?

[Tom4784]

This is pretty much it. It's pretty idiotic to say only stupid people cheat.

I guess that depends - and how well you knew the person! Some are very obvious - others a lot less so!

Yep very true!! At least you know it could happen at one time, in any shape or form.

Exactly, cos people get away with it for years. Some are very good at leading double lives.

Yup, in a lot of ways, it takes a smarter person to get away with it...

[rapunza1977]

I said nothing ..................... I was referring to an article where it was intimated that research showed men with lower IQ's have the tendancy to cheat, it did not state all men with low IQ's it did not state who believed what - I merely put up a link and a wee bit of chat as one is free to do when commenting on forums.

It's it not about the ability to 'get away with it' it's about cheating in the first place.

That completely invalidates the thread ... sociopaths have high IQs. I don't think womanisers are, they just have low emotional intelligence.

There is. Slag, slut, ***** etc. Take your pick :joker:

That doesn't seem far lol Womanizer sounds much more exotic like he's some sort of Special Agent or something!

A trait of a sociopath is to have above average intelligence. Not saying all do .. but most do

"The main characteristic of a sociopath is a disregard for the rights of others. Sociopaths are also unable to conform to what society defines as a normal personality. Antisocial tendencies are a big part of the sociopath's personality. This pattern usually comes into evidence around the age of 15. If it is not treated, it can develop into adulthood.

Visible symptoms include physical aggression and the inability to hold down a steady job. The sociopath also finds it hard to sustain relationships and shows a lack of regret in his or her actions. A major personality behavior trait is the violation of the rights of others. This can appear as a disregard for the physical or sexual wellbeing of another."

Just inadequate people really - who can't function normally!

Indeed, it is classed as a personailty disorder. But these people are your doctors, lawyers, priests. They all in all walks of life.

You are dealing with a totally delusional human being, who builds his own fantasies about his reality and believes his own pathological lies. How can you possibly hope to have a healthy relationship with someone who bases his whole existence on deceit? IMPOSSIBLE! And don't kid yourself - They know exactly what they are doing - They prey, victimize, and devastate."

"I have both a therapist and psychiatrist, and both helped me see how I gravitate toward men without consciences because I was raised around them. In fact, I was willing to look the other way for this guy precisely because I grew up looking the other way."

[PaulyJ]

Been watching The re-runs of "The Hills" lately and their is a prime example of a Sociopath in it. Spencer emotionally blackmails his gf, plants doubt of trust in her head about all her friends, with the intent to encourage her to depend on him only. He allows for no sense of "other" in his decision making, thought processes, and objectives.

Womanizers are just brought up in an atmosphere where "notches on the bed post" are positively re-enforced, once they have been doing it for a few years it's hard for them to change. Sociopath's are a different thing.
