I would love to see the source of this 'study'

Anyone who believes this must have a low IQ, I think...

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...

Gotta just cut your losses with those kinda people I guess

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.

I was just asking lol Not commenting

This is an article in the express that talks about love cheats having low IQ according to some studies done:

How come there's no such word as Manizer?

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:

You just might have to eat your words!:hugesmile:

Not all sociopaths have high IQs!

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

They are fantastic liars, charmers and manipulaters though

"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.

I'm scared now ... the bit in bold is me down to a tee :blush2:

Well not many Sociopaths will admit they are one haha

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."

True enough! :hugesmile: Who wants to admit to being a freak of nature!

Well of course they don't see it like that. Also alot of people refuse to believe they even exist

Oh I'm not one then :p

I do live in my own bubble though but not to that extent

Haha, well I guess people label it quite quickly. Also dramatic examples such as Bundy, Gacy, Dahmer ect, does not really help.

What about this Cougar chat? Is a Cougar a MANIZER or a man eater :)
