...are more attractive to women, study suggests.
There appears to be something to this, and I've heard in the past that some women are attracted to prisoners -- even death row prisoners -- and will marry them while they're still incarcerated. The study suggests they may act extra confident and that attracts some types of women. But, what about the bad-boy syndrome?
Is this the same as women who consistently seek out abusive male partners? I've known women who did that, despite the fact they were miserable.
Is this inherited or learned behavior?
Both psychopaths and sociopaths fall under the diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder, according to Psychology Today.
Individuals with psychopathic behavior tend to be well-liked, don’t experience remorse, have an inflated sense of importance and often lie, cheat and steal to get ahead, writes Amy Morin, a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist, in Psychology Today.
In the study, researchers Kristopher Brazil of Brock University and Adelle Forth of Carleton University suggest that psychopathy may be a tactic for attracting sexual partners — but is a short-term strategy that comes with serious trade-offs.
“Psychopathic men have a personality style that makes them appear attractive to women in dating encounters. This may be because they are extra confident or feel at ease or know exactly what to say to get the attention of women,” Brazil told PsyPost.
