Studies have shown that women prefer men with dark triad traits, especially in short-term mating contexts, and that both men and women high in the dark triad tend to report more lifetime sexual partners.

The three traits
Narcissism : Personality characteristics include having a very high opinion of oneself, a need for admiration, a belief that other people are inferior, and a lack of empathy for others.

Machiavellianism : Manipulation of others to achieve personal goals, indifference to morality, lack of empathy, and a focus on self-interest. Individuals with Machiavellian personalities are skilled at using deception, cunning, and strategy to control situations and people, seeing others as means to an end.

Psychopathy : is characterized by persistent antisocial behavior, impaired empathy and remorse, and bold, uninhibited, and selfish traits
Male psychopaths tend to be aggressive and criminal, behavior that is seen at least 10-15 more often in males than in females
