He only preyed on girls with low self esteem.

First he got really close to me, shared vulnerable things with me, and pretended to be my confidant. This he did with at least 2 other girls at work. I finally see the pattern. I'm surprised one girl is still his friend. She's someone who escaped an abusive marriage, so yep she's damaged too. Look, I'm fcked up, but she's got to be really really fcked up to still not cut him off after letting him manipulate her so hard. I wish she'd open her eyes.

Edit: I believe this man has got to be a sociopath or a psychopath to have done something of this sort. I feel extremely traumatized. I hate having to see him at work. He's the worst kind of human.

A man, or woman, but let's face it it's usually a man.... doesn't have to be sociopathic or psychopathic to seek out and manipulate people with issues. He just needs to be insecure and weak. When he is entirely unequipped to impress well adjusted adults then he will often seek out those who he deems to be vulnerable, i.e. those who impress easier. This can be women with issues or it can be much younger women. It's akin to a professional football player being too much of a coward to compete among equals and instead choosing to play for a local pub team because that's the only way he can look good, by being in less talented company.
