Womanizers drive us women, well, crazy. They’re all charm and no commitment. Flirt and wit without virtue. They seem to have an inborn talent for making us feel special and different, and before we know it they’re in our heart and pants…his main goal being the latter.
Well look out men, there is a female version of a womanizer. Meet the Man-eater. She’s just as ruthless and just as cunning. She will take what she needs and give nothing in return. Like a womanizer, she will thrive on a sexual connection but avoid an emotional one. She is powerful and gets a huge dose of satisfaction knowing that she can shatter you if she so desires.

There is no question that she’s desirable and sexy. She comes off as a challenge and what man doesn’t love a challenge? She’ll frequently tell people they can’t handle her, but they still try.
A one-night stand doesn’t make her bat an eye, but any sign of an emotional commitment will send her running towards the arms of another lover. She’s simply emotionally unavailable and will leave a man hanging time after time again when pressed.
She is skilled at testing a man’s masculinity and hiding her own vulnerability. Sometimes, she is just seeing how much the man can handle, to learn where his breaking point is. Other times, it’s a deep wound that makes her act in self-preservation. Is it possible that you are a man-eater? Here are some signs to look out for.
1. Your Relationship Status Changes Faster Than Your Outfits
If you find yourself in and out of relationships regularly and leave behind a string of broken hearts, it may be time to acknowledge this uncomfortable truth.
The inability to stay in a serious relationship for a significant amount of time or only preferring casual hookups are also glaring signs that you are a man-eater.

2. Your Friends Don’t Trust You
If your friends try to keep their boyfriends away from you, take notice. A man-eater will act on impulse and is constantly on the prowl for the next best thing. As a result, a man-eater will date not only the guy but his brother, boss, roommate, and cousin twice removed.
3. Your Actions Are Consistently Selfish
Man-eaters tend to act before thinking through the consequences of their behavior and don’t focus any time on empathy or how it might make others feel. If you find yourself being selfish and basing your decisions on whether or not you benefit, be aware.
A woman who only puts her needs first and has no problem stepping on others to get her way is unlikely to score in real love.
4. You’re Never Truly Satisfied
For a man-eater, no matter who you are with, it is never enough. Entering a relationship and quickly losing interest is what a man-eater does. It’s like having ADHD but with men. These types of women thrive on the attention of multiple men and are addicted to the new. You love men, with an emphasis on the plural.
For this reason, they will have no qualms handing out their contact info to other men even when they are already in a relationship. A man-eater needs the attention of other men constantly and use their skills efficiently to get men to notice them.

5. You Enjoy The Pedestal And The FUN
The man-eater loves adoration and being placed on a pedestal. You’re the best thing that can happen to a man, you believe, and he better treat you like a goddess. You soak up the love and attention like an empty battery but never have any to give in return.
Even if you would like to be committed, you find it hard to give up the fun of serial dating. The thrill of the chase is just too hard to give up.
6. You Can’t Risk Your Heart
Here’s another sign you may be a man-eater. Deep down, you’ve locked your heart away and can never risk letting another man break it. It is so much easier being the one in control and break things off when the stakes get high. You believe that no man’s worth the risk, so why not just get the benefits without the risk?
Using men provides you with validation that you are beautiful and worthy, and desirable. The cost of your validation to the men in your life is severe though, and over time, your need for more and more validation will spiral out of control. You may want to consider going on a man-diet dear.
