How to have less emotions?

Meditate. You can’t have less emotions. Emotions are the symptom. You can predict when or how they will pop up. All you can do is observe them instead of reacting or letting them control you

Dark triads are mentally dysfunctional and I doubt any true dark triads are ever really happy in any objective way. Emotions are normal and makes us human. What you seem to be needing is how to focus more on your own self-interest and needs first before helping others. You clearly haven't read No More Mr Nice Guy because if you had, you would quickly discover that our modern culture teaches guys that their own needs and desires do not matter in the face of others, which causes men to spend huge efforts trying to please others, especially women, while neglecting themselves.

Read ye some Stoicism (Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus). It won't stop the flow of emotions, but will change your perception of them

Life will make you more stoic naturally, becoming a cold psychopath mastermind is impossible unless significant trauma is applied. The only thing you can do is practice taking away your love when your woman disrespects you or when a friend betrays you.

Your not a natural Dark Triad don't try to be one. You can emulate but you will never be a true one. You need stoicism. Learn to observe your emotions and control them.

Emotions are the superficial, surface-level waves indicative of what’s broiling deep down beneath the surface in the depths of your psyche.

Change who you are, and these fickle, whimsical emotions will too. No quick fixes. Transform yourself.
