What do missionaries have in common with the silver-tongued asshole at the end of the bar?
They have an instinctual and finely honed sense to identify, corner, and pick off the weakest of the herd.
A religious conversion requires change in one's life and for change to occur, the person must want something different and be unhappy with their current situation. Jesus came for the poor and the meek, because they are vulnerable and in a position to be taken advantage of. When someone is in dire straits, whether it be temporary or permanent, religious missionaries swoop in and take advantage of the situation to give the person an option that is different than what they are going through, hope. False hope, but hope nonetheless. Missionaries don't exactly flock to the rich countries full of happy people, they go to the poor, run-down countries with people who are desperate for anything different than what they see.
The pick-up artist is the same way. Most don't go for the girl that every guy in the bar is drooling over. They go for the cute looking girl that no one else is looking at. They pick the girl with no self-esteem, the desperate one. They isolate her and give her an option other than being alone.
What is the common link between Missionaries and Players? They live their lives looking for the weakest of the herd to manipulate.
