You, my dear, are a total Loon! What you're talking about is Asshole-men.
The men that *you* are interested in are simply the ones of the Asshole 
variety,much like the guys who's object of desire are the Asshole-Women.

Both groups are the same. Treat others like shit, and make sure to go
after those who have some social short-coming like low self-esteem,
chronic shyness, etc.

I sometimes wonder if these folks don't create each other. Once someone
who has been "burned" multiple times finally stands up and stops taking
this kind of abuse, they're prone to becoming the next generation, so
to speak, of these socio-paths, propogating the behavior ad infitum...

If you're lucky, you'll start to pull away from the abusers AND the abused.

Meet a manipulator, walk away. Meet a wimp (male OR female) walk away.
Simple as that.
