Predatory tactic used seduce and ensnare an individual into a romantic relationship, a con or even a cult.
Often used by gold-diggers, narcissists, and Dependent types to lock down their prey.
Women who attempt to trap men with pregnancy and Desperate Single Moms can be particularly good at it. It is usually part of any daddy baiting campaign.
Con artists, pimps, pedophiles and cults also use this strategy on their victims.
It’s a campaign of fake love, affection, favors, flattery and usually lots of sex —designed to overwhelm the target and hide the love bomber’s true motives.
Love bombers also try to create a dependence by dangling the false promise of everything the target wants but lacks. It’s nearly impossible to detect or resist at the beginning, as it all feels too good to question, especially when a hot girl is the bomber. This kind of deception goes way beyond ass-kissing and is usually intended for long-term control of the target.
Victims of lovebombing often believe their wife (or husband etc) has “changed” when the lovebombing stops. They will often work harder to get back to the way things were. And the lovebomber can always dole out more when needed. Thus a cycle of abuse and control is established.
