What kind of women do abusive men target?

Women with low self esteem who are always looking for validation and approval. Women who will allow the man to manipulate them and separate them from family & friends.

And the other stuff people have mentioned here.

Same regardless, men to women or women to men. The most passive types because they will rarely, if ever, fight back. Not to mention easy to manipulate. All about body language though, predators can read it like a book.

Insecure ones,sometimes ones they perceive as out of their league

Any abusive person will target anyone, primarily anyone empathetic, especially people with low self esteem

Most don't have a type they target they just have fucked up brains that ruin things for themselves.

A perceived sense of weakness, vulnerability

Low self esteem, passive

Happens both ways. I’m easy going drama free guy that ended up marrying the polar opposite. I wish I knew why I did that.

Timid, shy, easily manipulated. Probably passive and submissive

Vulnerable.. needy.. insecure .. low self esteem.. loners

Me

Someone they can control?
