Dark behavior patterns may additionally serve as [[signaling theory|honest/hard-to-fake signals]] of high status as only high status men can get away behaving in an overtly 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 [[signaling 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), which can be identified with a slow and fast [[life history]] strategy, respectively. | 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. Fast-life 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. | ||

Women may thus be even more attracted to such men than they admit ([[wikipedia:social desirability bias|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.
