The psychopath’s mating strategy seeks the maximum possible number of descendants with the least possible financial and emotional investment.

This article explores an individual psychopath’s approach that may be representative of a larger population.

Introduction

 My goal is to be the modern-day version of Genghis Khan.

– Psychopath

In The Handbook of Psychopathy, Benning, Venables, and Hall write:

They tend to prize quantity over quality in intimate relationships, viewing romantic encounters as sources of fun (Jonason & Kavanagh, 2010) rather than as sources of commitment and intimacy (Ali & Chamorro-Premuzic, 2010)

In this article, we chronicle a psychopath’s sexual strategy using his own words and quotes (sources at the bottom).

Obvious disclaimer:

We present this information for knowledge and self-defense (keep reading).

These relationships are inherently unethical.
Although some women may be willing co-participants, it’s more likely to be a predatory strategy based on manipulation, control, abusive relationships, and abandonment.

1. Quantity over quality

Says our friend:

Psychopath:
I’m going for quantity over quality. My overwhelming quantity will make it impossible for them to fail as a whole. Just a couple need to be semi-successful.

He refers to “quantity of women/children” VS “quality of good parenting”.

But, as we shall see, it also refers to the quality of women.

2. F*ck raw to impregnate women

Whenever a guy brags about not using condoms, I know he may be high in psychopathy.

But our psychopath does so with a precise strategy in mind:

Question:
don’t you use a condom?

Psychopath:
I don’t use condoms on vacation or with tourist chicks. My plan and goal is to knock them all up.

Psychopaths are undaunted by STDs

Question:
How about STDs?

Psychopath:
STDs are not that scary. Nothing pills can’t fix. Even aids got pills you can take.

I didn’t ask about the STDs he could pass to her, because you should know the answer to that: he doesn’t care.

And to the worst of them, harming others is a badge of honor. It says they’re effective marauders.

2.2. But use condoms with local women

Volunteers our psychopathic friend:

Psychopath:
With locals that know my real identity I condom up as much as I can.

Why so? 
Because he does not want to pay child support, of course:

Psychopath:
Fuck child support. Literally one of the only reasons I started learning other languages so I can bail the fuck out of the U.S. if some whore tries to get money out of me.

And:

Psychopath:
The unfair child support laws benefit women to have as many kids as they can but punish men. I said fuck all that. Nobody controls me. I’m not letting the government control my reproductive rights.
We men have no parental rights and get treated as just cheap sperm banks anyways.

Obviously he sees no opportunity for win-win exchanges in dating and relationships.

Or… Do anal

3. Invest NOTHING in your children

First:

3.2. Persuade local women to abort

He has a persuasion system approach to convince women to abort:

Psychopath:
(…) has never failed me when I accidentally knock up a local.
But the key is to get them telling you how having a baby will negatively affect her. They have to feel like it was their choice with no outside influence.

3.3. Develop contingency plans: move, start anew

In case his abortion persuasive strategy fails, he has contingency plans in place:

Psychopath:
I doubt I will ever get caught but that is why I’m learning all these languages. As a contingency. Leave this country and start life in another and continue.
I can move to a country where they can’t get any child support out of me and go off the mother fucking grid.
I’ll move to a country where the U.S has no international agreements to enforce it. That’s why I choose Japan.

His whole thought process is geared toward taking as much as possible, while giving as little as possible. 
As Ray suggests in The Cambridge Handbook, psychopathy can be seen as a cheater strategy to take advantage of others.

3.4. Prevent issues: give women fake names

Psychopath: I have aliases yes. 
I tell them I’m a tourist also that lives in Miami or somewhere other than Vegas. Only take cabs and stay in hotel rooms. Exchange no social media. No pictures and give them burner phone number. It’s impossible for them to track me. Even if they tried they would start looking in the wrong place.

Presenting a mask comes naturally to psychopaths anyway. Says the same guy in another conversation:

4. Game foreign women, let them come to you

Question:
So you travel and go meet some of the girls you know?

Psychopath:
I don’t travel to them. They travel to me. My hometown is Vegas. They fly in and fly out with my cum still in between their legs back to their home states and countries. It saves a bunch of time and money traveling when they just come to you.

Question:
How do you meet these women

Psychopath:
Meet them just doing day game and night game. Just normal game. I’m just gaming women that want to let loose on vacation here.

5. Impregnate married women for maximum effect

Psychopath:
Bonus if they are married. The husband is automatically assumed the father and put on the cert. even if dna proves him not to be the father.

In this case, the quantity strategy also becomes qualitative, as children grow with a father figure and a provider.

6. Revel in your wins: observe your seeds from afar

Says the psychopath:

Psychopath:
I’m really into eugenics and what that could have been and genes. This is a way I can practice from a distance sort of. Love seeing the combinations and wondering what they will look like and become. Watching them develop from a distance on social media on their moms accounts.

7. Scrounge off wealthy women with Mack Game

Psychopaths don’t have stable incomes: it requires too much dedication.

Wealthy women are the attractive psychopaths’ “hack” to an easy life.

He says:

Psychopath:
I use women for financial resources like women do men.
I’m the one that moves in with them, instead of how it usually is with the women moving into the guys place.
Moving in with them rent free is just one of the perks of this game.

Typical value-taker mindset.

Psychopath:
I live my life like Ashton Kutcher in the movie Spread.

A segment from a movie:

Ashton Kutcher may do that because he’s a 10. But average psychopaths… Difficult.

Isn’t scrounging off low power?

A Reddit user asked the psychopath if his game was less dominant than the “daddy style”, since he is dependent on women.

Seems like that question triggered his ego:

Psychopath:
There is nothing more dominant then what I do.
You think macking (ie.: male gold digger) is not dominant? I can turn it into literal pimping by just saying some words. You think pimps are not dominant?
Fuck being daddy I’m her lord and savior. I own her very soul. Her life essence.

And ended his message with a power move:

Psychopath:
Power Game is full of contradictions and paradoxes. You need experience to understand all the nuances 

The psychopath also said that he learned how to control relationships from pimps, both in books and in person -one allegedly took him “under his wing”-.

8. Start a harem 

Once your game is good, start a harem.

Psychopath:
I will eventually have some that I raise my own. Those ones will be my clones and carry on my will. Genetically and philosophy.

So I inquired:

Question:
OK, so at a certain point you will also settle down and be a provider, it sounds? 

Psychopath:
I’ll have a harem.
Two sister wife’s maybe more. I won’t be the provider. One of them will have bank. I’ll be a father, not a provider. I have too much game to ever settle for a boring-ass commoner relationship. (…) My vision of the perfect family and being the best father I can be. All this game, red pill shit was just a stepping stone.
(…) I also know it’s possible because I have already made it happen multiple times. I just didn’t knock them up because I’m waiting.

I’m sure someone will see some irony in the line “best father I can be”.

8.2. Turn the harem into a cult -the cult of YOU-

On a Reddit thread, a user shared his goal to move into the wild, living off the land with a great woman.

The psychopath replies:

Psychopath:
Sounds like a good place for me to start my polygamist/cult compound. I have never actually thought about something like this. 
(…)

And of course, the good-old isolation technique (Greene, 2001):

Psychopath:
In order to form the cult I want, I do need to isolate all of them. This is a major breakthrough (to live in the wild, Ed.). Can’t believe I never thought of this. I’m going to need to redo my vision board now and move this cult idea I have been planning into motion in a new time slot.

He then even advises another guy:

Psychopath:
Start studying cult leaders and using what they did on these women. Run some Jim Jones game on them.

Nothing gives psychopaths a feeling of power like leading a cult

9. Control women with abuse

Psychopaths want total power and control over women. 

One, because it makes them feel good about themselves, and two because a woman under their control can be used -and abused- to better serve his needs.

The techniques he describes are some of the worst, as well as the most notable examples of dark psychology I’ve ever read:

9.2. Screen for women who respond well to punishment

Psychopath:
They cry and storm out, go to their cars, anger text me and come back up once they realize it’s only going to get worse for her. That’s the worse a women has ever resisted punishment. They also agree to these punishments beforehand. Otherwise she can’t become my plate.

Another poster, approved by “our” psychopath says:

As soon as she begins to try and be a bitch or power grab, she starts losing my time and attention. Either the plate breaks or the bitch changes her tune.

“Plates that break” are women with higher standards who cut contact. 
Not good for the psychopath.
Psychopaths resent women who are independent and/or resist their total control. They want doormats whom they can control.

9.3. Stick to women who get addicted to abuse

Psychopaths like this one only enter relationships with women who accept abusive behavior.
So it’s true when he says:

Psychopath:
Women never call the cops. There are dudes that beat their girlfriends/wife’s for years and they still dont call the cops. Why? Because women like abuse emotionally and physically.

Of course, it’s not true that “women (in general) like abuse”. But some get addicted to it.
Relationship researcher Gottman was shocked to hear that several women reported peak sexual experiences after episodes of domestic violence (Gottman, 2011).
Psychopaths stick with those types of women.

Also read:

• How low self-esteem leads to abusive relationships
• The judge: explains how abusers can gain control with approval/criticism

9.4. Use abusive tactics

Including:

9.4.2. Create emotional whiplash: break them down, build them back up

Psychopath:
You need to game like a woman with BPD.
Give women emotional whiplash. You need to break these women down like they are muscles. What happens when you break down muscle over and over? It grows back stronger, that’s what you want to do with your relationships with them.
Breaking these women down and building them back up over and over is how you build a stronger relationship with them each time. It’s how you create “love”.
(…)
A women in love will give you everything. Drama to women is emotional heroin.

You do that by creating fake arguments:

Psychopath:
In order to do that you need to start fake arguments, that sadly many guys on here (on the red pill community, Ed.) think is stupid. They think gaming like a women is beneath them. They have no idea what they are missing out on.

At the extreme, the “whiplash” is a physical beating followed by periods of extreme tenderness.
See an example from Jon Koppenhaver (War Machine):

Narrator: This is “the cycle of abuse”.
In phase 3, after an abusive episode, the abuser seeks connection. They act romantic, apologetic, and remorseful. The abused (…) may begin to feel a stronger connection.
When fear and intimidation are directly followed by affection and warmth, the intimate nature of the latter can become significantly intensified. 

It’s worth noticing that Christy Mack, the psychopath’s girlfriend, was also somewhat “off”, from snake pets, to growing up in toxic households. And notice her tattoo saying “sick love”.

9.4.3. Demand the moon, and expect it -or punish them-

Psychopath:
She needs to repent. They should put you above all else. Your word is god. Disobedience is harshly punished. She will never blow me off again. I dont give a fuck if her parents are dying, if I request her she better be there.

Does it remind you of Charles Manson?

9.4.4. Use rewards and punishments

9.4.5. Once she’s under your spell, use “dread game”

Psychopath:
She would rather share me than completely lose me. That scares the fuck out of them and keeps them in line. 

9.4.6. (Mis)treat them like dogs

One man says he does not sleep well when women stay over.
Says the psychopath:

Psychopath:
I had the same problem. My solution was to make them sleep on the ground in a sleeping bag at first. Than I got soft I guess and let them sleep at the foot of the bed perpendicular but my yorkie didn’t like that because that was his spot.

:S

9.4.7. Use sex for extra-bonding and control

Some psychopaths and abusers use sex as a tool for control (Bancroft, 2002).

Our future sect leader here takes it a notch up, and says he uses sperm as a tool for reward and punishment:

Psychopath:
Though I prefer to cum in them because it has that extra cocktail of hormones that further bonds them to me.

9.4.8. Hack their laptops & phones to use their secrets to your advantage

This one was the most unexpected for me:

Psychopath:
I personally use it to low key hack and have control of all my plates laptops. I know everything about them. Their browser history, projects they are working on, emails and twitter accounts because lol everybody just leaves everything on auto sign in.

Also iPhones. Even the ones with Face ID omg that shit is horrible. When they are sleeping just open one of their eyes and you get access. If they have an older model just put their thumb on the Touch ID button. A normal password is far safer than biometrics.

How to use that information:

Psychopath:
Knowledge is power.
They always wonder how it seems I can read their minds. It’s because I am. Our phones and laptops, social media accounts are a peak at our souls.
Let your imagination run wild as to why having that info on them is so powerful. It’s like the movie what women want when they are around me.

He says he has remote software to switch on their laptop’s camera and microphones, and he learned it from the book “Social Engineering“. 

And in another message, he explains why it works:

Psychopath:
People are narcissistic, they just want to be around other people like themselves. Same hobbies, jobs, interest, background etc.
There is no better way to become their mirror than to hack and find out everything about themselves than use what you find out in conversation with them.

10. And Ultimate Step…

There is one last, ultimate power move.

Unfortunately, we can’t share it publicly.

Psychopath’s Seduction Techniques & Mindsets

This guy’s post history is a crash course on the mindsets and psychology of psychopaths.

Some more information about him:

• He writes mostly on Red Pill subreddits

Which tells you something about The Red Pill.

• He uses social circles

Between cold approaches VS social circles, he prefers social circles:

Psychopath:
You’re supposed the build a pipeline of pussy so you don’t need to cold approach. 
I have not cold approached all year. Even before COVID. I simply just hang out and tell plates/females friends to invite more girls they know. The women in my life do all the pussy hunting for me now.

• He bodybuilds and uses steroids

Psychopath:
“Than said fuck all this and jumped on the juice”

Research also linked steroid use to short-term tactics and higher intrasexual competition.

• He parties a lot

Psychopath:
Long after my military career is over I have finally become a morning person. All it took was bars and night clubs closing

LOL you can’t deny this guy can be funny.

• He does not respect any “bro code”

Psychopath:
I never respect the beta bro code under any circumstances.
All the “friends” I would need to uphold this rule around got exiled and purged from my life. They will only hold you back like the crabs they are. Bro code is mate guarding simp shit.
Our bro code with my boys is to share everything and if you manage to steal a girl from one of us it’s cool just explain and detail how you pulled it off so we can all improve our game together.

To which one guy replies “If that’s how you and your friends operate, then you guys are toxic as fuck.”

Switch the tables: become the prize

The psychopath says that part of his game is to act like a “female 10”.

He says:

Psychopath:
I’m the one that gets chased, I game in a way that makes her the pursuer. She initiates everything. She wants to fuck me she has to chase me. In a relationship, if she wants my dick she has to use foreplay on me.

Part of his “gaming like a female 10” is to refuse responsibility, make excuses of caught with other women, and create lots of drama (of course, none of that necessarily belongs to a “female 10’s behavior”).
Again, sounds a lot like that manosphere guru’s gaslighting MO (see here).

Seeking Immortality

Projecting power over infinity

Robert Hare (Hare, 1993) hypothesized that psychopaths:

1. Follow a conscious reproductive strategy of quantity over quality
2. Seek a way of “living on forever”

Let’s go back to our case study.

Psychopath: 
I’ll die but my genes will forever live on all over this planet. I made this my life purpose.
If there was a actual god it would be very grateful for all the new life I’m creating. In a way I am god. I create new life and the women in my life worship me. That’s how I see it. I’m doing the work of a god.

I questioned him on the illusion of “forever”:

Question:
“Forever” is an illusion.
Your genes will be so diluted in a just a few generations that nothing of “you” will be there. And it’s a fair bet that all species will end, eventually. At latest, when the universe wil end.

And he replies:

Psychopath:
Everything will end yes. But at least a part of me will still be alive to make it to see the end of our species. Hundreds of thousands of years from now.
(…)
I’ll make it to infinite. Till the meteor fucking drops.

More Examples

These are not diagnoses, but only examples of individuals who may have psychopathic or dark triad traits and pursued a reproduction strategy based on quantity

Years after we first published this article, we may have a real-life example of someone publicly embracing this approach:

Psychopath-sounding man: My goal is to have as many children as possible

And in this other example, he mocks men with two children as “b*tches”.

I have also personally witnessed this tendency in sperm donation cases.
For example:

• Man rejected for sperm donation goes on a vindictive spree: goes back in person to say that it’s him who withdraws and not them to reject him, sends emails to the parent company complaining about laboratory workers, mentions his genes are too good for donations, and leaves online negative reviews. A behavior that may suggest narcissistic rage
• Man rejected for sperm donation throws a fit in the office, complains that the online selection criteria were wrongly stated, that he had spent two years ‘preparing’, and that he has two degrees, seemingly wanting to display ‘donor value’ and pressuring reviewers into making an exception

Further Considerations

The Science of Psychopathic Sexual Strategies

Psychopathy may be an adaptive strategy for reproduction, a concept highlighted by evolutionary psychology and most associated with Troisi (1998).

Human males tend to invest in offspring, but not equally, and not all.
In the literature, the extreme ends of the male parental investment are referred to as k and r:

• K-selection: Fewer offspring, high investment (e.g., most humans).
• r-selection: Many offspring, low investment (e.g., insects and… Psychopaths).

There are two sources of psychopathic approaches to reproduction: one based on harsh childhood environments and adapted fast life strategies, and one genetic (Mealey, 1995). However, in terms of pure behavioral results related to short-term mating, they may be similar.

Neurobiological research supports the hypothesis that dysfunctions in brain regions that are key to emotional processing and morality judgments may allow psychopathic individuals to pursue this evolutionary strategy (Glenn & Raine, 2009)

Monogamous Good Men, Players, & Psychopaths: A Continuum

As Condolin explains, monogamy aligns interests and promotes cooperation between the sexes.
This means that the monogamous and high-investing man intrinsically makes for better and more cooperative relationships

By contrast, the quantity approach aligns more with the ‘player’ type.
This approach is inherently less collaborative, especially long-term.

However, an uncommitted and quantity approach to dating doesn’t necessarily turn exploitative if the player is an honorable man.
This is not the case with the psychopath, though.

The psychopath sits at the antagonistic extreme because not only does he have no morals to keep it win-win, but he may actively seek to harm his partner.

Read more on overlapping concepts:

• Lovers & Providers
• Alpha fucks beta bucks, a mantra for alphas, dominant and high-value men who don’t commit, and betas, who commit

Is It A Conscious Approach to Quantity?

Robert Hare claimed it’s a conscious approach, but without empirical data I am skeptical.

Psychopaths are also impulsive, and driven by short-term pleasures.
Hare’s own examples contradicted his hypothesis, with one psychopath literally replying to him “I just like to fuck”.

On the other hand, it seems that at least some psychopaths consciously plan their sexual strategy.
This same article is the evidence.

But I believe it’s more often a consequence of psychopaths’ brain wiring, than a conscious decision.

This is supported by the results it gets:

Does The Psychopath Strategy Work?

Though this kind of sexuality may theoretically result in greater reproductive success (Wiebe, 2004) at least for some men, Benning and colleagues stated that it has yet to be established empirically whether this is actually the case (Gladden, Figueredo, & Jacobs, 2009; Glenn, Kurzban, & Raine, 2011).

When it comes to ‘poaching’, psychopaths may target already taken women but also lose their partners to poaching, yielding a net neutral effect (Jonason, Li, & Buss, 2010).

More recently, Lyons suggests in The Dark Triad of Personality that psychopathic men and women had fewer children among the dark triads (Carter, Lyons, & Brewer, 2018).
Narcissists instead had more children.

But the evidence is sparse and the study had a small sample to draw significant conclusions.

Manipulative Psychopaths, Or Willing Women?

We must acknowledge that some women likely slept with him knowing what they were getting.

Or, at least, they kinda knew it’s not the best setup, but went for it anyway.

Consider that some women don’t have endless options.

Forced to choose between a meek, low-status man willing to commit and a dominant psychopath, some women may choose the latter.

Plus, the appeal of the psychopathic bad boy may increase for short-term.
Empirical support comes from a popular study where “Dads” and “Cads” correspond to “Proper” and “Dark” heroes in British Romantic literature, with women preferring “Proper” heroes for long-term and “Dark” heroes for short-term relationships.

This also means that women are enabling psychopaths to procreate.
Or, if you prefer, we can look at the too-nice guys who, until they empower themselves, make psychopathic men valid options.
Both angles are valid.

The Cons of The Psychopath’s Strategy

Here’s the short of it:

The deceptive and number-centric psychopath strategy requires less attractive and discerning women.

Let’s see:

• Dark triads drop their standards, especially for short-term dating (Jonason et al., 2011)
• The easiest “psychopath victims” are lower SMV women when we read between the lines of the “victims’ literature” (Brown, 2008, MacKenzie, 2015; Norwood, 1985). This is in line with our ‘value-control tradeoff model™’, where the higher value a person is, the more demanding he becomes of the people in his life, expecting value-giving instead of value-taking control
• High-quality women pick better options for sexual marketplace dynamics, high-quality women can get positively dominant men, without toxicity
• It requires libertine environments, large cities, and constant turnover. Otherwise, they’d burn their reputation very quickly

Of course, psychopaths would never confirm this.

Let’s go back to the psychopath from this article.
This is what he says about the cocktail waitresses in Vegas:

Psychopath:
They also mostly have degrees and are very smart women, but don’t pursue that because why would they? Whatever their degree/career pays is way less than simply being a hot woman who can pour a drink.

That is the typical tendency of inflating the value of those we date.
But I agree more with this other guy who replied:

Lol no.
I’ve worked that industry. Sometimes, I’d meet a girl working her way through college, but that was rare. Most were not “very smart women”.
(…)
Most stable men don’t want a girl who makes her money by wearing skimpy outfits and flirting with every slob.
(…)
These women are trading a normal/healthy long-term partner, and the option of a respectable career path or station in life, for a source of short term riches that dries up by the time they’re 40, if they’re lucky.
(…)
Idk who this guy (the psychopath, Ed.) talked to, but if they told him they had student loans they needed paying off, it’s because they were trying to sucker him for a fat donation.

Lessons Learned For Women

source: fightgangstalking.com

Smart women can learn some lessons from this post.

• Always demand a condom
• Abuse is unacceptable
  • If you’re attracted to abusive men, seek therapy. Also see Women Who Love Too Much
• Beware of men who insist upon your first “no”
  • Beware of men who push too hard for sex: resist sex at first instead as a valid test for man’s character
• “Operant conditioning” is a red flag

A Danger To Civilization?

An increase in psychopathic traits may be a danger to civilization itself.

Civilization requires a minimum amount of cooperation and contribution from all.
In that sense, the psychopath undermines civilization by spreading anti-cooperative genes and attitudes.

Once society has enough psychopaths, it may not be able to cooperate anymore.
Or not as effectively.
It may splinter down into clans once again, bringing us back to middle age. Or worse.

I worry that with large societies, the psychopath strategy may be comparatively more effective.

The Power Moves, by empowering good men, contrasts that.

Summary

In short, the strategy: 

1. Quantity of women & children over quality
2. Control women with abusive techniques
3. Impregnate & bail
