The Dark Triad of personality

dark triad of personality

I’m interested in psychology and I got a comment just now asking me why girls like bad boys. I’ve done quite a bit of reading about this in the past so I’m quoting from a variety of sources. Well, the first and foremost reason is due the period before their period, so to speak.

Females are attracted to a bad boy persona during their most fertile period, right before their menstrual cycle.

However a more intriguing reason is the personality type dubbed The Dark Triad – Narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy. Some people are cursed/gifted by The Powers Above with this. Most men score highly on this, some more than others.

Yes, the bad boys do get the girls. Trust me, it’s not as fun as is sounds, especially if you want to be a nice guy. Bad boys do NOT get the girls they want to be with except for brief sexual encounters.

It can be a very heavy cross to bear when you want to settle down. You really have to make an effort to counter this. At least that’s what I heard from a friend of a friend. The higher you score on the Dark Triad personality traits, the more sexual partners you have.

It’s just evolution.

Don’t hate the player, hate the game. smirk

    gypsy-on-the-year: Yeah, bad girls also get the guys, some for the same reason (the appeal of bad girls) some just coz of sex.
    However, it’s not a good thing when you’re older though and just want to settle down. πŸ™‚
    Michelle Chin: Haha! I’ve been played before – the girl I loved most have played me, thinking back, she does have the dark traid of personality but if I had to go through it again, I would. πŸ™‚

  3. dude, don’t need a picture of you masterbating in the bathroom. aya, people around me thinks I am gay liaw. ha ha ha…..
    it’s true, chicks dig the roughest and toughest dude. They like the rough sex too but they won’t admit it and they don’t like it when you slap them about too, chicks are strange creatures. It’s very confusing.

  4. Dude I am totally the bad boy and I pull mad chicks. Not to toot my own horn, but it’s just the way it works out. Tattoos and motorcycles get chicks wet, what can I say? My buddies hate me cause I always get the girls. I tell them to be more bad ass and they will get them too. Confidence is a bigger turn on to women than looks. Remember that

    The dark triad of personalities is not about being a bad boy per se, but a set of personality traits that manifests in certain behaviors that does not conform to society standards.
    Appreciate the kind compliments about the cute bit. πŸ™‚
    Chris: Projected confidence and a don’t give a fuck attitude is part of the dark triad of personalities along with many others. Impulsiveness etc.
    Basically people like that are not the Average Joe, not the safe, normal people. πŸ˜‰

  6. u know… sometimes one does not need to be a bad boy/girl… all one needs is a sweet mouth… and waalaaah… one gets the girl/guy!
    but then again, i’ve met with too many sweetmouth “gentlemen” to categorise them as good guys… they are a different kind of bad boy… looks decent, family kind, your-mother-will-love-him-for-a-son-in-law kind, even nerdy… but in the end, they’re also players…
    maybe it’s just unfortunate me…

  8. but a bad boy can always prove that there is more to him than what is visible from the outside when actually being with the girl they really like after getting together with her through his bad boy side.. (ok.. that seems really long n complicated after typing it all out.. but hope u get wat i mean.. hehe..)
    the main point is that theres still hope.. so don fret!! πŸ™‚

  11. A bad boy need not be overtly bad boy. I’ve known people who are nerdy, have good careers, dress impecably…someone that even my mum wants as a son….willing to lie, backstab and cheat his way up the ladder..and not to mention is a player.

  12. Also another thing, girls like to change their man….I had one ex, after we broke up said that she thought she could change me into what I am not…is stop smoking/drinking/occasional gambling.
    Girls, please don’t get together with someone hoping to change them. In the long run…they never change. Just enjoy the ride.

  13. Ah Des: I agree with you bro. πŸ™‚
    On the not changing part…we are who we are, until we become parents and have to change for the sake of our children. πŸ™‚

  16. Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

  17. I can not help but think that there are more vital subjects toward which we should be directing our interest and taking advantage of our options. What amount of journal pages are wasted with full-color photographs of numerous celebrities, and exactly how much data transfer useage is misused every week by incessant ramblings of celebrity groupies?
