    Others are much more schooled in psychology than I am, and there probably is a technical term for this.

    The distinction between one group and the other is that women that he does care about have the potential to hurt him that women he does not care about do not.

    It's likely a control and trust issue for him. The anger and the unfairness are probably a subconscious attempt on his part to convince himself that he is the one in control. Getting angry may generate a "please tell me how I can make you happy" response, which places him at the center of attention in the relationship.

    The unfairness is also an attempt to reassure himself that he is in control by generating a response of deference from the woman in that relationship. He's testing them to see whether he can drive them away.

    As far as the technical term for all of this, I don't know, but I'm going to go with "sick."
