If these characteristics sound at all familiar, chances are that you have: -He is adamant everyone get onside, helping him get where he wants to go, yet he seldom feels gratitude or expresses appreciation -He blames all his mistakes or failures on other people, hangs on to resentments and is highly critical of others -He exhibits no empathy, is deceitful and manipulative, and displays only shallow emotions Psychologists estimate that all women will be put in harm's way, in one form or another, by a predator during their lifetime. At their most extreme, the predator is a sociopath who lures woman into psychologically-damaging relationships that are almost impossible to walk away from safely. More common is the garden-variety narcissist or the man with anti-social personality disorder. Then there are the stalkers... After her own terrifying experience, Alison Summers has created The Girl's Guide to Predators. It is everything you need to know about the predatory man. With countless case studies and real-life examples, and based on years of research, this is the guidebook that no girl can afford not to read.
