Yes.  They want someone that is also corrupt and builds them up.  They both are self-centered.

But for marriage, studies show, a woman who is ambitious and has an influential job is attractive to a narcissist. Powerful women often intimidate a normal man, but a narcissist is not afraid of someone like that. He seizes the opportunity of having a strong woman by his side.

Having a strong relationship with your father also attracts narcissists. People tend to think that if a woman gets involved with a toxic man, she must have come from a dysfunctional family so she never learned what a healthy relationship is. And while that can be true, it's not always the case.

Having a healthy and loving relationship with your father can leave you vulnerable because you haven't experienced, and simply don't believe, the sad truth that bad people exist who wouldn't be labeled as hardened criminals.

If you grew up with a father who was always there for you, you may have a hard time accepting the idea that a man would target you specifically for your capacity to love.

People who possess antisocial disorders (psychopaths, sociopaths, and narcissists) lack empathy. They do not care about anyone but themselves. Without empathy or concern for others, love cannot exist.  They target people who truly care and hurt when others are in trouble or in pain. Narcissists seek partners that tend to be a person who has high levels of trust, compassion, tolerance, and attachment or loyalty within relationships. A positive person who sees the best in others. Their goodness makes them highly desirable.

There is nothing wrong with how they love. The narcissist exploits their strengths and goodness.
