Exactly. He is manipulative, these girls are all the same, insecure with low self-esteem. If he was being upfront he wouldn't need to love bomb them, take them to spas and buy them expensive dinners and champagne, he knows how to get that type of girl into bed, drive him around and put a roof over his head until he finds another one.Just because his defence is he's upfront about being a bleep doesnt make it ok. He's not upfront to them when hes spinning them his lines.
All he's doing is finding a manipulative angle to justify his cuntish ways. Same way bumhole used to after every thing she does wrong
They are idiots but that is the exact reason he picks them.
