Rather than preferring [[nice guy|nice]],empathetic and responsible men, many are most attracted to narcissistic, manipulative and psychopathic men. | ||

Women evolved to be dependent and [[sex drive|choosy]] | Women evolved to be dependent and [[sex drive|choosy]] due to their greater [[Bateman's principle|parental investment]]. This caused men to evolve to be taller and stronger in an evolutionary arms race competing for mating opportunities. | ||
In response to this, women are thought to have evolved to choose the strongest and most [[dominance hierarchy|dominant]] man available | In response to this, women are thought to have evolved to choose the strongest and most [[dominance hierarchy|dominant]] man available to be protected from men attempting to coerce them into sex, male violence in general ([[bodyguard hypothesis]]; Wilson & Mesnick, 1997) and to get access to high-quality foods and resources (Geary 2004). | ||
This aspect of human sexuality can be traced back to some of our oldest ancestor species, e.g. lizards, in which female animals [[female subordination|submit themselves]] to dominant males (Eibl-Eibesfeldt, 1989). | This aspect of human sexuality can be traced back to some of our oldest ancestor species, e.g. lizards, in which female animals [[female subordination|submit themselves]] to dominant males (Eibl-Eibesfeldt, 1989). | ||
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 might have co-evolved as a socially parasitic [[Reproductive success|reproductive strategy]] (Gervais 2018). | 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 might have co-evolved as a socially parasitic [[Reproductive success|reproductive strategy]] (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. Status in this case is not only determined by aggression and intimidation, but also by [[LMS|income, looks]], [[IQ|competence]] etc. Men may also have been selected to mimic such dominance signals (Puts 2015). | 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 an overtly anti-social manner.

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 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). | ||

It was found that women nearly always had a higher vocal pitch when leaving a message for a more psychopathic man vs a less psychopathic man of the same general level of physical attractiveness. | It was found that women nearly always had a higher vocal pitch when leaving a message for a more psychopathic man vs a less psychopathic man of the same general level of physical attractiveness. | ||
Further analysis of the data suggested that the affective traits of psychopathy such as: superficial charm, callousness, and lack of empathy were the most desired by women, while the more overtly violent antisocial traits were generally unfavored. The authors also noted that the affective traits of psychopathy were found to be strongly linked to sexual sadism and intimate partner violence in men, which had concerning implications on the [[romance|romantic]] [[relationship]]s these men would be expected to have relative ease at initiating, compared to less psychopathic men. | |||

He found that women were more than twice as likely as men to search for videos where women are abused, coerced into sex, or are depicted as being raped. Women preferred videos with tags like "painful anal crying", "public disgrace", "extreme brutal gangbang", "forced", or "[[rape]]". | ||
25% of all straight porn searches by women were for videos featuring violence against women, and 5% of women's searches were for videos where women are raped. While not necessarily representative of ''all'' porn consumption by women, Pornhub is, according to website analytics firm Simpleweb, the adult website with the most global traffic (and is ranked 8th for total traffic worldwide out of all websites), as of February 2019. | 25% of all straight porn searches by women were for videos featuring violence against women, and 5% of women's searches were for videos where women are raped.
