The dark triad is defined as: Narcissism, Manipulativeness, and Psychopathy (insensitivity to others). | The dark triad is defined as: ```Narcissism```, ```Manipulativeness```, and ```Psychopathy``` (insensitivity to others). This study assessed the personality traits women find most attractive, by presenting women with male characters of varying degrees of Dark Triad personality. Physicality was held constant. | ||

Contrary to popular claims that women just want a "nice, caring guy," in actual fact, they are most sexually attracted and aroused by the exact opposite - narcissistic, manipulative, and psychopathic men. | These were the personality traits that women found most attractive.

This likely has a basis in evolutionary biology, as Dark Triad traits may have helped provide a competitive edge to men in difficult times, for example, by allowing a man to kill others for their resources. | This likely has a basis in evolutionary biology, as Dark Triad traits may have helped provide a competitive edge to men in difficult times, for example, by allowing a man to kill others for their resources. | ||
