10 signs of a love predator is an exposè on toxic individuals who have a well-spelled-out intention to take undue advantage of their partner in a relationship.

Who is a Love Predator?

A love predator is a person who has a well-spelled-out intention to take undue advantage of a partner in a love relationship. Persons like these don’t intend to share or give true love in the first place; instead, they aim to suck and exploit a love partner for their self-serving interest against mutual love benefits. Often, if not all the time, the victim of such a negative love affair is ignorant and unaware of this parasitic lover’s escapade.

Love predators can be desperate while trying to establish a love relationship with their target but in the end, they become so brutal more than one could ever think or imagine. Scars suffered from love predators are usually very deep and destabilizing. So the best thing is to avoid having things to do with individuals who have and show such parasitic tendencies.

I have highlighted below clear warning signs of a love predator.

1. Love predators are more interested in what you have to offer sexually and materially than commit themselves to the terms of real love. When love is truly existing, a relationship is more than just the physical or material gains involved. However, in this case, most love predators don’t show from the beginning that they are after the material or sensual benefits obtainable in such a love affair. Instead, they start as though they merely want someone to be with and express love to, in return. However, with time and keen observation, their true interests begin to surface.

Often, they capitalize on individuals with weak emotional walls who have what they want and have great tendencies to cave in easily. They can be wanton in this regard; that is they will go all out to do anything to initiate a relationship to achieve their selfish aim of exploiting their partner. Desperate guys and ladies who are not ready to follow sound relationship rules or patterns are mostly their easy targets.

2. They take time before they let you into their world (private life), whereas they would have almost taken over your entire life affairs, both the public and private. They are eager to know so much about their prey because those details help them to perfect their parasitic plans. On the other hand, they divulge only basic information about themselves to their prey and make it look like there is nothing more to reveal. Of course, they understand that little detail will cover their suspicious track considerably.

However, very smart targets may succeed in uncovering other vital and revealing information about them unexpectedly. When occasions like these arise the predator tries to counterattack or explain it way. Nonetheless, a smart victim starts to withdraw or reviewed the relationship owing to this; but the gullible one still turns blind eyes to it and is exploited.

3. They love relationships and things to go their way often. And if they find out that they are not having it as they want (not minding how the other party feels), they threaten to leave the relationship at once or stop showing a special responsibility they have towards the intended victim. Individuals like these are incorrigible and manipulative. A threat is one of their major weapons in situations like this. They are usually the domineering type and sometimes could also achieve this subtly.

4. Love Predators are cunning. As a strategy, they are first to express fears about what seem like suspicious behaviour of an innocent victim even when there is no reason for such. They act in this manner to dissuade a naive target from discerning them as suspects, who they are. Sometimes, this becomes their strengthening move when they sense an unexpected barricade standing in their way in the relationship in which they are actually the parasite and exploiter.

They have an enormous tendency of using a lying tongue when dealing with their prey. Furthermore, a love Predator would not mind using cunning means to hurt preys or take advantage of them, just to have his or her way while deriving selfish pleasure from the relationship.

5. Often they shield victims from the other important persons and relationships in their lives. That is they love to be alone and just avail themselves to their victim. They do this so that their target would hardly be able to hold anyone else accountable for their eventual misdeanour. In some instances they make their target believe falsely that, certain relations and close friends are people to be avoided like a plague. And an unthougtful victim would accept that hook, line and sinker. But a thoughtful one would give it a second contemplation.

6. They use a love relationship with their partner as leverage for achieving certain short or medium-term goals; then they back off once that is accomplished. Often they back off subtly so much that prey does not become suspicious of their malicious move. They achieve this by making promises to unsuspecting prey who in turn is manipulated to make commitments that foster a predator’s goal in such a love affair.

7. They love to spend much time with unsuspecting victims, despite the obvious inconvenience or strain this may cause to them or their target. They do this to foster strong emotional attachment between them and their victims. And when they don’t get much of the time they want from the partner they are preying on, they easily pick offence around it.

Now, once time establishes emotions between the parties, it becomes difficult for the prey to discern foul play because often than not, emotions can becloud a good sense of judgement and reasoning in this regard.

8. They are willing to show great persistence like a true love seeker does as well. This means a love predator is never in a hurry to hunt down its prey. To this end, they would pay any price (time, resources, attention) just to penetrate a game at the end of the day. Love predators wouldn’t mind lurking around a victim for a long period of time because they know they will be compensated for it in the end.

9. A love predator is inconsiderate of others who have things to do with the target, name it- family members, spouse (if the victim is married), colleagues or whosoever. They want the attention of their prey even to the detriment of every one else. Unfortunately, the innocent love victim is not made to see this as a wrong move. They even go to the extreme in some instances by fencing off their love victim from well meaning individuals around them. Individuals that assist the unsuspecting victim uncover their evil plot

10. Love predators are desperados themselves. That is they are determined to get what they want in the way they want it even if it portrays a negative personality and character. It shows in their expressions, attitudes and dealings with other people other than their love victim. Their expplotative lifestyle gives them away. The very sensitive victims may discern this behavioural pattern in them and retreat but the gullible fall prey easily.
