Hybristophilia: Difference between revisions

This tendency becomes evident when you look at female mating choice and the frequency wherewith that man has [[dark triad]] traits. Roughly half the time, female preference of bad boys over good guys is because women find the former more exciting, due to the potential for danger. These women perceive the latter archetype of men with manners and etiquette as boring. For the other half of hybristophiliacs, their preference for dysfunctional sociopaths and narcissists has more to do with the fact that they have very low-selfesteem and can't bring themselves to accept niceties. These women have some semblance of endorphin-opposing phobias, such as cherophobia or hedonophobia.

While men were attracted to a handful of female convicts like Casey Anthony and Jodi Arias, the degree of the attraction was much smaller than the attraction women hold toward almost all high profile modern mass murderers. It can also be noted that such women are physically attractive, whereas female hybristophilia seems to offer a rare exception to looks theory in rare cases.
