Heterosexual dark empaths are attracted to women only because they combine high cognitive empathy (the ability to understand others' emotions) with traits of the dark triad: narcissism, high-functioning psychopathy, and Machiavellianism, using this ability for selfish or manipulative purposes. Details follow:
Personality and what they are like

• Selective empathy: They have cognitive empathy (they understand how you feel) but lack affective empathy (they don't connect emotionally or care about your well-being).
• Dark Triad:
• Narcissism: They need admiration, are egocentric, and do not offer emotional reciprocity.
• Functional psychopathy: They are emotionally cold and feel no remorse for their actions, although they may maintain superficial relationships
• Machiavellianism: They are strategic, they deceive and manipulate to achieve their goals.
• Charming facade: They present themselves as caring, understanding people and even victims of circumstances to generate a quick connection.

General behavior

• Gradual gain of trust: At first they are attentive, listen to your fears and desires, and can offer support to earn your trust.
• Alternating closeness and coldness: They generate confusion and emotional dependence by switching between being close and suddenly distancing themselves.
• Indifference towards those who are no longer useful to them: They go from being sensitive to showing total coldness when someone no longer brings them benefits.
• Disproportionate reaction: If their victim role or intentions are questioned, they may become sarcastic, cruel, or use triangulation (involving third parties).

How they manipulate

• Exploitation of emotional weaknesses: They detect your vulnerable points (fears, insecurities, desires) and use them to influence you, "hitting where it hurts the most".
• Blame: When things don't go their way, they make you feel responsible for the mistake
• Distortion of reality: They use subtle lies and twist facts to control your heteronormative perception
