It seems that while [[personality]] does matter to women, it does not matter in the ways they claim. Contrary to popular claims that women want a "[[nice guy|nice, caring guy]]," in truth, they are most sexually attracted and aroused by narcissistic, manipulative, and psychopathic men.
It seems that, while [[personality]] does matter to women, it does not matter in the ways they claim. Contrary to the popular claim that women prefer [[nice guy|nice men]], they are the most sexually attracted to narcissistic, manipulative, and psychopathic men.
The sensitivity of this topic may even cause women to ''downplay'' their attraction to men dark traits because such [[Female subordination and submissiveness|desires]] contradict laws and norms that prohibit violence as well as [[feminism|feminist]] ideals that women should be the equal of men rather than submitting to and desiring their power ([[social desirability bias]]). Hence, women may feel an even stronger attraction to such men than they like to admit.


A basis for such preferences on part of women can possibly be found in evolutionary biology as low empathy and cruelty may have helped outcompeting other men, or even killing others for access to resources (Kruger & Fitzgerald 2011), hence psychopathy in men and women's attraction to it may have co-evolved as a [[Reproductive success|reproductive strategy]] (Gervais 2018).
Evolutionary psychology may explain women's attraction to dark traits.
Another possible explanation is that [[violence|violent]], callous and narcissistic behaviors are [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signalling_theory honest i.e. hard-to-fake signals] of high [[dominance hierarchy|dominance status]] which is determined, among [[dominance hierarchy|other things]], by [[SMV|good looks, financial capital]] and cues of physical strength.
Women evolved to be dependent and [[sex drive|choosy]] by virtue of [[Bateman's principle|having infants]]. This caused men to become taller and stronger in an evolutionary arms race competing for mating opportunities.
A high status man can "get away" with occasionally behaving in anti-social manner.
As a result, women choose the most [[dominance hierarchy|dominant]] man available in order to be protected from coercive and stronger contenders ([[bodyguard hypothesis]]; Wilson & Mesnick, 1997) and to get access to high quality foods (Geary 2004).
Men may have also been selected to try to mimic such dominance signals, favoring men who more likely callously use threats of force (Puts 2015).
This [[female subordination and submissiveness|dominance-vs-submission]] dynamic in human sexuality can be traced back to some of our oldest ancestor species, e.g. lizards in which female animals submit themselves to dominant males (Eibl-Eibesfeldt, 1989).
Being physically weaker, women are thought to choose the most dominant man available to them, in order to be protected from contenders ([[bodyguard hypothesis]]; Wilson & Mesnick, 1997) and to get access to high quality foods (Geary 2004).
Dark traits such as low empathy and cruelty may have proven useful in male intrasexual competition (Kruger & Fitzgerald 2011), so these traits and women's attraction to them may have co-evolved as a [[Reproductive success|reproductive strategy]] (Gervais 2018).
Not all men are psychopathic, presumably because prosocial competence is important too for navigating social hierarchies and managing [[Scientific Blackpill (Supplemental)#Women_were_historically_predominantly_involved_in_cooking_and_they_never_dominated_men|resource extraction]], so it is plausible men have evolved diverse strategies of [[statusmaxxing|status ascension]] (''prestige'' vs ''dominance strategy''; Kruger 2015, Gervais 2018).
Dark behavior patterns may additionally serve as [[signalling theory|honest/hard-to-fake signals]] of high status as only high status men can get away behaving in anti-social manner. Men may have also been selected to mimic such dominance signals (Puts 2015).
The fact that not all men exhibit dark traits indicates that men have evolved diverse strategies of [[statusmaxxing|status ascension]] (''prestige'' vs ''dominance strategy''; Kruger 2015, Gervais 2018).
 
The sensitivity of this topic may even cause women to ''downplay'' their attraction dark traits because it contradicts laws and norms against violence as well as [[feminism|feminist]] ideals that women should be the equal of men rather than submitting to them ([[social desirability bias]]). Women may thus be even more attracted to such men than they admit.
Women's preference for psychopathic men may also be related to [[Scientific Blackpill#62.25_of_women_have_fantasies_about_rape_and_other_forced_sex_acts|rape fantasies]]. After all, it requires low empathy to rape someone.

Eilb-Eibesfeldt (1989) identified a [[female subordination and submission|dominance-vs-submission]] dynamic in human sexuality that can be traced back to some of our oldest ancestor species, e.g. lizards, with females submitting themselves to dominant males.
