| Line 77: | Line 77: | ||
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), which can be identified with a slow and fast [[life history]] strategy, respectively. Last life history strategists tend to exhibit earlier sexual maturation and less investment into the offspring when compared to slow life history strategists. Men and women with a fast life history tend to score higher in the Dark Triad (McDonald et al., 2012), in its extreme expressing as [[Borderline personality disorder|whiny psychopathic behavior]] in women and [[Asshole|cold psychopathic behavior]] in men. | 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), which can be identified with a slow and fast [[life history]] strategy, respectively.

The sensitivity of this topic could 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. Women may thus be even more attracted to such men than they admit ([[social desirability bias]]). | The sensitivity of this topic could 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.

Women's preferences for psychopathic men are possibly 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. | Women's preferences for psychopathic men are possibly related to [[Scientific Blackpill#62.25_of_women_have_fantasies_about_rape_and_other_forced_sex_acts|rape fantasies]].
