This video answers the question: Why are some women attracted to psychopaths? I've heard this worded many different ways including: Why are some women attracted to bad boys? I've talked about this before in a collaboration video. I'm going be looking specifically at the psychopathy component and honing in on the subclinical psychopathy component. A lot of the time when we think about subclinical psychopathy, we think about the dark triad: psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism. I discuss Jordan Peterson’s interpretation of “A Billion Wicked Thoughts.” Psychopathy:
There are two types of psychopathy: Factor 1 (primary, interpersonal affective) and Factor 2 (lifestyle, antisocial) psychopathy. Factor 1 psychopathy has characteristics like grandiosity, pathological lying, manipulation, a superficial charm, callous, unemotional, low neuroticism and lack of guilt or remorse. Factor 2 psychopathy has a parasitic lifestyle, being prone to boredom, sensation seeking, impulsivity, irresponsibility, a failure to have long term goals, poor behavioral controls, and criminal versatility.
Narcissism:
There are two types of narcissism: With grandiose narcissism we see characteristics like being extroverted, socially bold, self-confident, having a superficial charm, being resistant to criticism, and being callous and unemotional. Vulnerable narcissism is characterized by shame, anger, aggression, hypersensitivity, a tendency to be introverted, defensive, avoidant, anxious, depressed, socially awkward, and shy.
