What is a loverboy?

A loverboy is a term used to describe a man who uses charm, manipulation, and sometimes coercion to attract and exploit women for financial gain or material benefits, typically in the context of romantic relationships. Loverboys often pretend to be in love with their victims in order to gain their trust and exploit them emotionally, psychologically, and financially.

Loverboys may use tactics such as love bombing, gaslighting, isolation, and control to maintain power and control over their victims. They may also engage in illegal activities, such as sex trafficking or prostitution, to exploit their victims for profit.

It is important to be aware of the signs of a loverboy and to seek help if you or someone you know is in a potentially harmful relationship with one. Organizations and support systems are available to help victims break free from the control of a loverboy and move towards a healthier and safer future.
