| Someone mentioned generic drift but that doesn't really answer your question. By evolution do you mean genetically different from other humans (like psycho genes) or as a human trait that is innate for humans? Serial killers sometimes change from childhood, or have the triad of problems ( fire setting, bed wetting being beaten for it and animal killing) and some people get molested and develop different personalities, splitting or bipolar. They had to have been predisposed to it, but yes you can get these traits from bad experiences. The adaptation is natural. I mentioned serial killers to show failures of society, sociopath isn't always successful most are not like most people aren't. It's not a Willy Wonka ticket to success. If you can apply Machiavelli to stuff you can change too (unless it's always been in is, who knows). The article is misleading to me as well >Despite future long-term mating desires which are unlikely to be achieved with a narcissistic male and possession of substantial mate sampling experience, females view the narcissistic male as a suitable partner. They say it as if the personality is the only thing that matters. These men are probably narcissistic because they're attractive, women aren't attracted to ugly narcissistic guys and narcissism isn't likely why they're more attractive. Men are also very attracted to these traits in women, I dated a girl like that and if she was ugly with that personality I'm sure nobody would have given her more than laughter. Imagine if Bundy looked like the elephant man, would he have gotten away? Replace narcism with attractiveness and you'll get a much more accurate statement >People with dark triad traits will tailor their strategies to obtain these benefits, depending on their social environments. Spoken as if normal people don't. I'm sorry but the world is just that people like these combined charactistics. It's like being mad at the laws of physics. You also need to attractive to pull most of this shit off. |
