Why men who are high in narcissism and other 'Dark Triad' traits are more likely to be judged as attractive—and what it could mean for human evolution, writes JustinLehmiller
. Although each one signifies something a little different, they’re all tied together by a tendency to engage in antisocial behaviors, such as being callous and manipulative.
Several studies have shown that people with these dark traits are often rated as being more attractive than people who are low on these traits.In one study, a group of college women was asked to rate theof profiles of men who varied in their levels of the Dark Triad traits. The physical characteristics of the men were held constant—what varied was only whether they were high or low in these three personality characteristics.
Why is that? Psychopathy is linked to living a “fast life”—these individuals tend to take more risks and act more impulsively. One outcome of this is that they tend to start reproducing earlier in life and have more children over time.
