In this post, I argue the concept of "Psychopathy" weakens you by conflating positive and negative traits under one word.
Executive summary
The common definition of psychopathy forces men into one of two-paths.
1) Weakness, if you avoid being 'manipulative' and
2) Being a shitty and lonely person, if you embrace dark triad personality traits that will drive good people out of your life in the long term.
I think the result is a lot of guys struggle to reconcile the efficacy of certain psychopathic traits in seduction (and life) with the fact that they're not fundamentally evil people.

My favorite post on your blog so far. Thanks for posting, dude.

"I had a hunch that people with Asperger’s had a special affinity for dogs, and a bit of Googling suggests a few other people have made this connection, so there’s probably some correlation between liking dogs and the autism spectrum."

Men love women, women love children, autists love puppies?
Oh no... you've undermined my favorite quote !!!
.
The self defeating traits:
  • Taking pleasure in unnecessary cruelty
  • Pathological lying
  • Failure to plan
  • Self-destructive impulsivity and thrill-seeking
.
While I agree that unnecessary cruelty is unwise the biggest problem for the beta "Nice Guy" is knowing the appropriate level of punishment to fit the circumstances. Beta minds tend to either offer no punishment (they think it's never correct) or they explode into over reacting cruelty. The proper response is measured punishment to fit circumstances and generally with the intent to keep your role as Captain humming along calmly.

The plan is to emulate the positive traits psychopaths have. You will never manage to think yourself into becoming a psychopath and getting all the downsides. You don't need to become a highly nonfunctional being to get these traits:
Glibness/superficial charm
Grandiose sense of self-worth
Cunning/manipulative
[–]Endorsed ContributorInvalidity 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
Yeah, but many people when they see psychopathy they think, "If I continue down this path, I will become a full-fledged psychopath." No... it doesn't work that way. If anything, you'll probably become a self-absorbed manipulative playboy, but to be a true psychopath, you'd have to have been born with that trait.

Lol.
One post about monk mode being shit.
One post about psychopathy being shit.
Both misinterpreting the point.
Make your own concepts.
You don't have to read my blog bro.
[–]protoss--OP 1 point2 points3 points  (0 children)
yeah, surprisingly even on this sub you'll read how people's bosses or executives are "mostly psychopaths" and "backstab people to get ahead"
I'm guessing it's the lower-income mindset of the average redditor just carrying over in to this sub, but who knows. in other forums with what I would have thought was a similar user base as TRP, they don't have this poor victim mentality in general.

Psychopathy is truly crazy. I've had cases working with diagnosed psychopaths and they always have a bunch of paranoid fantasies and also have a weak connection with reality.
[–]Zalkarmus 0 points1 point2 points  (1 child)
That sounds like the complete opposite of psychopathy. It's true that psychopaths have fantasies, but they're not "paranoid" ones. Many psychopaths have stated that fantasy slowly melds with reality; that sounds like some sort of dissociative disorder with derealization/depersonalization.
Sounds like you're talking about schizophrenia.

Nomadic psychopaths can have schizoid features. It's one of Millon's subtypes.
[–]RED_PILL_TRUTH 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
this post has been needed for a long time. people have been putting it on a pedestal as this wonderful ability. You would never want to be a true psychopath- their existence and tendencies leads them to prison or six feet under by their late teens/twenties. Of course many would want to be a sly, charming, smooth operator who engages in frequent promiscuous sex. however, the truth of the disease is a miserable reality of not caring about anything, including your offspring or siblings. love can make us weak and vulnerable as men, especially in a society as screwed up as Marriage 2.0, but that doesn't mean we should trash the parts of our brain that led to civilized society.
Great read. I thought the idea that those at the top would pick the traits out that got them to where they were at and stigmatize them was particularly fascinating.
Pick out the good traits, and ignore the other ones.

There is absolutely one clear sign that is always present is sociopath, psychopathic and generally all forms of toxic people.... the pity play.
[–]Zalkarmus 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
Psychopathy is a term that has been hijacked by armchair psychologists in order to degrade men. The common usage nowadays is to describe any man who hates other people in general, cheats on his wife, lies, etc.
It's anti-male horseshit. There was a study done that showed that men with psychopathic traits have higher levels of testosterone. The more masculine you are, the less you care about others.
