Bad Man's Tactic #1: Gentle and Considerate

He understands women's hearts and caters to your needs first. To be able to juggle several women at the same time, he doesn't necessarily need to be incredibly handsome; he just needs to understand what women want and fulfill their needs first. For example, if he knows you're looking for a job, he'll actively introduce you to opportunities; if he knows your boyfriend is busy and you're lonely, he'll be very attentive and supportive.

He observes what you want to make you think he's wonderful, but in reality, he's just a love con artist, plotting to lure you into a trap. He'll only act on his present desires; he won't stay with you for the future.

Bad Man's Trick #2: Sweet Talk

He's good at sweet talk and flirting, and he has a knack for soothing women. Men with great eloquence are actually quite dangerous; some men don't rely on being rich, handsome, or tall, but on their natural sense of humor. When you're angry, he'll act cheeky and make you laugh; when you suspect him of cheating, he'll tell you not to overthink it.

It's easy for him to say "I love you" or "I miss you," because he says those things to many women. His love is all talk and no action, not in his heart. If you consider yourself a woman who enjoys sweet talk, be wary when you meet a man who makes your heart flutter.

Bad Man's Tactic #3: Showing Weakness at the Right Time

Using a feigned retreat to make you feel needed. Bad men always make you think they need you or care about you a lot, some even going so far as to feign weakness in front of you. They exploit a woman's natural maternal instincts, making her want to care for and cater to his needs. For example, some married men might say they have marital problems, no sex life, or even lie about having erectile dysfunction. This serves two purposes: firstly, to lower a woman's guard and make her believe he won't cheat on her, and secondly, to evoke sympathy and the feeling that she should save this poor man. Later, you discover he's perfectly fine; he wasn't sleeping with you because he was busy in someone else's bed.

Some women unintentionally become the other woman, partly because they are deceived by these scumbag men. Generally speaking, men find it difficult to openly discuss their difficulties and weaknesses with others. If a man feigns melancholy and confides in you, there's a 99% chance he has ulterior motives. As the saying goes, "Unsolicited kindness is either a swindle or a crime."

Bad Man's Tactic #4: Keeping His Whereabouts Elusive and Constantly Busy

How can a man cheat on you? It's by having numerous excuses for not being around you. Whether it's frequently working overtime, traveling for work, or claiming to be taking classes or participating in activities, these seemingly solitary activities might be his convenient excuses for cheating and dating others. Using overtime or studies as excuses also has the advantage of making you think he's an ambitious and good man. You just don't know he's lying to you.

Bad men are good at lying. It's easiest for them because they don't have to report their whereabouts, and when they do, they can easily find a plausible excuse that won't arouse suspicion. We can't condemn all busy men as bad men, but many bad men are like this.

Fifth trick of a bad man: Creating romance

He has his own successful SOP (Standard Operating Procedure), and replicating his experience always works. A man who successfully cheats has, of course, honed his skills and has his own set of SOPs; you can find out by comparing them with his mistresses. For example, you can simply ask his mistress: "Did he take you to a certain motel? Did he always take you to see the night view?"

Don't assume that men are so intelligent that they need to spend so much energy dealing with different women they're cheating on. They have their own logic for dating and finding women; they just apply it to different women. Don't be fooled by his familiarity with the motel and his act of bringing a woman there for the first time. Actually, it's your first time with him, and he's already at VIP level.

Sixth tactic of a bad man: Admitting mistakes but not correcting them.

He's always willing to admit his mistakes and says he'll change. Getting him to apologize isn't difficult; there's no harm in doing so, since his sense of propriety and shame is all talk and no action. Repeat offenders who cheat usually have personality problems and psychological issues. But what's most despicable is that instead of addressing their psychological problems, they use a woman as a cure-all. As for his promises of repentance and change, he's probably just saying it casually; you can just take it with a grain of salt. If you want revenge or to make him look bad, find a legal way to do it to him and make yourself feel better.

The chances of a prodigal son turning over a new leaf are not nonexistent, but they are extremely low. If you're going to forgive him and believe he'll truly change, then you'd better be prepared to be hurt again! There's a simple way to deal with this: don't easily believe you're the woman who will end his life. Many women, influenced by novels and TV dramas, always feel that they are special to him, unaware that he has many special qualities.

Degenerate men often feel smug about conquering several women simultaneously, unaware that it's only because women are kind and don't tell them the truth: they're actually weak, effeminate, and lacking in sexual function. Do these tactics seem familiar? Yes. Many exist all around us. As women, we must be vigilant and guard against these degenerate men luring us into their traps.

How can you avoid this? There's a saying: there's no such thing as hatred without a cause, nor love without a reason. If a man starts off relentlessly pursuing you, seemingly deeply in love, and appearing eternally loyal, he's either madly in love with you or deliberately trying to deceive you. Once you see through a bad man's tricks, women should prioritize their own well-being and not waste their lives getting involved with such men! Find a good man and focus your efforts on him; that's the right direction.
