I saw the first sentence in a book, and I thought it was a mistake. I googled it and realized that many writers had used it on the websites. But then I googled the second sentence and found many people saying it that way. For me, the first one makes more sense, but after I saw the second one, I felt confused. Do they have the same meaning? If so, which one is grammatically correct?
- He was one of those people who seem fated to be hurt and thrown aside in life.
- She is one of those people who seems to be able to withstand anything.

They are both "grammatically correct": in the first, seem goes with people; in the second, seems goes with one [of those people]. I prefer (1), as it appears it's the group which is being described in both cases, and one person is being picked out from that group.
