    What are “emotionally distant manipulators?” Some sort of emotionless man that tricks women into sex? Is that not the same as the sociopath?

      Pretty sure that means people who pretend to be emotionally involved with you but they actually are not. For example someone who says they are in love with you, but they actually just want any partner for sex or a superficial relationship.

      These partners tend to postpone consequential decisions like whether or not to move in together, or family planning, etc. with excuses. They do not care their partner looses time waiting for them on a decision they don’t really intend to make.
