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

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

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.

"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!

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."

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

"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."

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.
