The wrath of a womanizer can make it hard to remember you’re worth loving and prioritizing. While they may have fun using women at the moment, womanizers don’t understand the long-term damage of their self-sabotage (so, we’re here to tell you all about it). In this article, we’re going over everything you need to know about womanizers, including their weaknesses and common behaviors. No matter what type of relationship you have with a womanizer, here’s a look inside their mind and why they should stop their womanizing ways.
Things You Should Know
- Most womanizers are deeply insecure, so they use women to exact revenge on previous romantic rejections.
- Womanizers lie because they never learned how to communicate properly and they refuse to take accountability.
- Since womanizers don’t develop the skills to maintain a proper relationship, it’s hard for them to find a partner in the long-run. They’re also more likely to feel lonely or depressed.

Matchmaker & Dating CoachWomanizers often have no history of long-term relationships, and tend to be bad at communication—they force their partner to initiate most contact. He may also be secretive and never want to share anything; plus, he's probably a good stonewaller. Womanizers are very dishonest people overall, and are typically very good at what they do. So, you'll have to search extra hard to find physical evidence of their actions/behavior.
