Psychopathic men have an extreme focus on mating at the expense of other domains and tend to be “parasitic” fathers

Psychopaths are known to be really good at getting people interested in short term relationships, friendships, etc, but they suck at actually maintaining those relationships long term.

Many psychopaths are very charismatic, and they tend to be somewhat socially dominant. This is all very sexually attractive. The thing is, if you actually get to know the guy for a while, you inevitably find that he's a major asshole.

I knew a guy that I considered a friend who turned out to be very dark triad. He was incredibly attractive, but managed to piss all of us off to the point of going no contact within about a month and a half. Just an utter asshole. And in retrospect, there were a lot of "he did say he was like that..." moments. He wasn't hiding anything, though we didn't always think he was being serious. His jokes were often real stories said in a jokey tone of voice.

I wonder if this finding still holds true if we look at cultures that don't have much casual sex. Though of course psychopaths are also more likely to be rapists, so it still might.

The Hare Psychopathy Checklist which was probably used to measure the psychopathic traits was only intended for research in forensic populations, i.e. prison populations. It is skewed towards that population.

Psychopathic men would not be against stealthing and baby trapping women to continue to be able to control and manipulate them for at the very least 18 years. They know being a mother makes it hard to date, get a high paying job, and can destroy your body. They also probably have no qualms about abandoning a child and having a new one when they get tired of their situation.

This shouldn't come as a surprise for anyone.

Women decide who has sex and who gets them pregnant. Psychopaths are extremely charming and manipulative at the same time, thus have a easier time getting sex from women.

psychopaths behave like charming supersimp

Holy shit, this makes perfect sense. 'Antisocial' personalities are what's left when you strip out everything but the mating drive. They're fucking cuckoos. Of course evolution would throw out something so vile. 🤢

Authentic2017 · 2022-09-17T13:20:59+00:00

Can confirm. Dad is highly psychopathic and growing up flirted and got with a lot of women by acting in a very agreeable, always smiling, simpy, charming way. He was an asshole ofc but only to people he couldn’t gain from. These women never saw that side of him until way later.

ThisPersonBad · 2022-09-16T21:53:29+00:00

Only have my personal experiences and stories. Not a huge sample size but the women who attach themselves to truly psycopathic men tend to be very vile people themselves.

space_dan1345 · 2022-09-16T21:02:03+00:00

So are we supposed to take away that psychopaths suck? Or what's the point?

Flightlessbirbz · 2022-09-17T14:17:31+00:00

psychopaths behave like charming supersimp

Have been pursued by a psycho, and yes. They are assholes, but they sure as hell don’t show it when they’re after a woman. Everything they do is designed to fool you into thinking they are Prince Charming. The only thing I would point out, is that many/most women do NOT ultimately fall for the act, in the beginning yes, but not long enough to actually have kids with the guy. But that doesn’t matter, because enough women will, and they will keep trying until they succeed. I just want to point that out because too many men will say things like “women love psychopaths,” when most really don’t, at least not for long. It’s just that enough are fooled.

Psych_FI · 2022-09-17T03:41:04+00:00

This. Even Jordan Peterson had said pick up artists are psychopathic and encourage psychopathic behaviour.

The red pill and pick-up artist spaces are awful because they foster an attitude that dating and sex doesn’t require morals. This just results in lack of trust and people disengaging from dating.

DerekMorganBAU · 2022-09-16T21:16:15+00:00

Average Joe: I just wonder why I have such a hard time getting a date when these assholes keep becoming fathers—

Women: OMG misogynistic pig ugh

😂

Watch what they do not what they say

Better yet WHO they do

LovesGettingRandomPm · 2022-09-17T01:23:28+00:00

this study is practically bullshit, you don't need a self assessment to predict that people who are selfish and callous and impulsive are less likely to spend time raising a child and are more interested in chasing women, that's in the diagnosis and the diagnosis has been around and evidenced for a number of years. Researchers are basically just piling useless papers on top of each other.

IOportA · 2022-09-16T22:14:17+00:00

Can a woman give some insight on why women are so attracted to psychopaths?

And don't tell me they hide it.

Historically they may have been more likely to breed but those children would have been less likely to reach adulthood.

Abstract_Knight · 2022-09-16T23:53:25+00:00

Redpill theory about why women get harassed finally explained lmao.

dbz19_kai · 2022-09-17T04:46:22+00:00

What's a psychopath? The definition is basically someone who lacks normal empathy. How many "normal" people are psychopaths? From what I gather, a surprising number of men and women lack empathy for other humans.

I think to be a go getter and focused on getting what you want, you do have to have a certain level of self-centredness. Taken to the extreme, this can be psychopathy, or the other term, sociopathy.

KamuiObito · 2022-09-20T23:49:20+00:00

I think you meant sociopath..cuz phycopaths usuallt are in psych wards and hospitals and be the bums you see doing weird shii..sociopath is more antisocial behavior that’s only beneficial to the person.. very narcsistic people usually are sociopaths..physcoptahs is schizophrenic and physcosis..I know this cuz my brother isn’t stringing along Multiple women but he is suffering with being a crazy person now..

Holiday-Reach-8948 · 2022-09-17T13:39:20+00:00

Because they’re psychopaths! They do not care about anything so long as their needs are met and why would that be different when it comes to mating?

The real question is why women mate with them. As a woman, I don’t get it. And there seems to be more women with these type of guys than with… non-psychopaths. You’d think they’d eventually wise up. I dated a few pricks (not psychopaths, but certainly 5 star assholes) and wised up real fast. I very often, literally pray, to be thankful for a gentle and kind husband.

I_took_both_pill · 2022-09-16T22:45:41+00:00

>EDIT: I see that a lot of guys are ignoring the part about psychopaths being extremely focused on mating, and jumping straight to the "be an asshole" part. Red Pill for Red Pillers, forget everything you saw on TV, psychopaths behave like charming supersimp and they do it with a loooot of women.

What is your point in this EDIT. Dating and relationships is mostly a numbers game anyway.

Cold Approach means approaching 100's of women

Swipe Apps/Online Dating : Messaging 100's of 1000's of woman

What is the purpose of your comment. Plenty of guys do have an extreme focus on mating. Why the hell do you think there is a massive online community dedicated to Sexual Strategy?????

Barely-moral · 2022-09-17T00:21:23+00:00

It is only logical. People tend to move through the path of least resistance. People with ASPD included.

When you don't have a conscience and you don't really care about people as humans but you see them as tools instead then the path of least resistance is quite different than it would be if you were neurotypical.

Mating gives benefit to the man with ASPD, so he focuses on it. No reason not to. He feels nothing for the resulting child nor for the mother so the path of least resistance remains focusing on mating and ignoring those two as they are not good tools to give him the benefit he looks for.

Parenting requires effort and the only thing that makes people do it is that a normal brain makes you love your children and rewards you with good feelings when you do good for them and punishes you with bad feelings if you do bad for them.

Remove that and there is no reason to invest in parenting except to use parenthood as a mask of normalcy or a tool of manipulation.

I_took_both_pill · 2022-09-16T21:28:23+00:00

So women like having kids with Psychopaths?

Question: How does one become a psychopath?

I suppose, I am meant to join society in saying men are evil when reading this, followed by flattering things about women and how they are just mere victims, as they obviously have no agency what so ever in who they fuck and have kids with.

However, as far as sexual Strategy goes all this post does is point out that psychopaths have lots of children.

As far as sexual strategy goes, I am a man, things I worry about are is the kid man, who is the daddy, is a woman into me, my wallet or my status. As far as psychopaths abandoning kids go, I do not aim to have sex with male psychpaths. As far as reproduction goes, even if I did wish to have a kid with a male psychopath, due to biology man cannot make man pregnant, so this information is irrelevent. All it does is point out that being psychopath === lots of kids === lots of sex.

Antonija_Blagorodna · 2022-09-17T06:21:32+00:00

So women would sooner have children with a psychopath than a boring guy. Got it.

PirateDocBrown · 2022-09-16T22:35:05+00:00

If we call men who behave like this psycopaths, what do we call it when women do it?

Workaholiconew · 2022-09-16T22:52:52+00:00

or... hear me out...

Men have a high sex drive, which makes us pursue it.

And because paying for it (by paying for/dealing with women and a child) is a hassle, most would rather avoid those.

TheRedPillRipper · 2022-09-16T21:39:45+00:00

a sample of 255

Whilst I agree with the premise, I’m taking this study with a grain of salt.

That said presumably psychopaths are still the minority. Not the majority.

TATA456alawaife · 2022-09-16T22:19:08+00:00

Makes sense. Psychopaths weren’t very well suited to survival in humanities early days, so had to pass on the genes fast.

DiligentProgresses · 2022-09-17T02:14:12+00:00

Fuck the rational male time to read DSM V

TermAggravating8043 · 2022-09-17T08:52:59+00:00

This makes a lot of sense

Usain_Joseph · 2022-09-17T12:14:05+00:00

The world is becoming a dark place, bye bye people

fjfjjrbtvrvbsj · 2022-09-18T16:19:06+00:00

Are there really that many "psychopaths" in society? Maybe narcissists.

IcarusKiki · 2022-09-19T04:16:19+00:00

Psychopaths are little more than machines. I pity them - they are devoid of any creativity or spirit
