Don't forget the fantasies some women have thinking they can change the badboy. that all he really needs is someone to love and take care of him, and he will open up showing his true good guy nature. women be trippin

[@yaboyclear]

exactly, and I mean its not their fault, nor is it all women. its in a lot of girls natures to want to take care of people and help them, but when you're 25, carving X's into your forehead, talking about marriage. and the the psychopath is saying you're the crazy one. you are doing it wrong.

This type of woman just likes the feeling of being "protected" by a dangerous man.

[@thanhlanpham2059]

Actually they can't "protect" them as they are in prison already haha. I agree with the man under me. It's a bless to know that the man you love will be there all the time when you want to see him (in prison), always have people keep an eye on him (jailers), there is no chance that he will get addicted to alcohol or drugs (again, he is in prison), and most amazing thing is that he will never be able to cheat on you with another woman. (no offense, this is just a joke. But you have to admit that it does sound amazing, huh?)

[@Erduk]

***** It's not the target that matters. It's the mentality. It's just as easy to kill a man today as a woman or child. Most of the work is mental, since we are raised generally to not kill other humans.

[@jameswray50]

Цветелин Василев Well, a lot of serial killers that I have read/heard about, the psychopaths, don't express much anger in committing their crimes. Usually it is because they enjoy the power and control over their victims. Very few serial killers had something against their victims, other than cereal killers who murder a specific type of person as vengeance towards another. Like a man who murders women because he was tourchered by his mother or something.

[@dunnowy123]

Because women and men are fundamentally different. Confidence trumps EVERYTHING. Looks, money, status etc. And a charming serial killer is often super confident and dominant. It taps into the alpha male persona that turn women on. Fuck what feminists say, women are wired totally different.

[@jeremysears7402]

Thanks for the honest perspective in a easy to understand delivery ... I had this conversation with a female friend who admitted it but she also said women are aware of the perception of it looks bad on them so they mostly deny it. Just like l deny my love for alcohol.. Or I did till it got out of control.

[@dunnowy123]

+crashedpelican There are certain fundamentals to human attraction. Yes, all women are different, but I've yet to meet a woman who isn't into a confident, dominant man. Even when they're in relationships with the pussy whipped guy, they usually end up leaving and/or cheating on him.

[@jeremysears7402]

dunnowy123 Good point. I'm that guy they cheat with. Or I was until I realized I have a conscience and I may be due karma. But females lie in order to protect their agency. I'm also the guy they admit their dark secrets to after a roll in the sack. Hell, even B4 hand. They just get more honest about it after they drop the pretenses and can now become the wanton lust-beast they *could NOT BE* in their relationship.

[@dunnowy123]

***** Okay, I never said MOST women are attracted to psychos. But what attracts women to these men is a subset of a bigger idea, which is women (and come on, this is a video about generalizations, let's not nitpick about individuals) are into confidence, dominance and stereotypically "alpha" personality traits. For example, I've never met a woman who's asked a guy out. And I've asked many about this. It's not something they feel like they should do. Why? The answer is almost always: "because it's the guy's role to do that." He's supposed to lead. And that's just one example.

[@dunnowy123]

+alpha1 Fair enough. I've been asked out too. It happened once lol But it's not the norm. Ask 10 women about it and most will give the answer that they expect a guy to lead.

i have . infact many. women are attracted to confidence (seen it many many time) confidence often comes with narcissism and narcissism is a prerequist for sociopaths and psychopaths. women gets so blinded by the charm and confidence that they then willfully ignore the possibility that it could be more pathological than that.

[@iJames700]

Back in the day men had to PROTECT and PROVIDE for their women and children. In America today, men don't have to do that as much anymore. However, women still want to be protected. So the nice guy seems weak. The bad guy seems strong. The badass appears to be able to PROVIDE and to PROTECT a woman. A real badass man will protect and provide for a woman's soul. A woman should do the same thing.

[@Thethingsaretricky]

"Women still want to be protected" are you well versed in woman psychology? I just think the women attracted to these psychopaths are just as mentally unstable as they are. As if nice guys don't protect their wives, that's silly.

[@actionjackson6943]

@Jesus Christ Amen to that. A real badass would murder a baby like Charle Manson and Company. I don't know why you would refer a provider and protector as 'badass' James Corrales.

And guys who treat them like shit. It shows them who's boss because no women wants to make decisions and be dominant. They want to be dominated. It is their roll in nature. They love to work for love. Nothing less attractive to a woman than a guy who really loves them and treats them like a queen. He's just a pussy to be thrown away in favor of the narcissistic bad boy who will treat them like shit. Guys are the opposite. Guys are very logical and are completely focused on looks. Women are emotional and irrational and therefore need an asshole to put them in their place and make them feel grounded.

[@Brambleshadow11]

ComputerTrainer101 I think he means that women think "Oh he seems like a good person to get with" but then they find out that they're not so good and wants to leave, but they get trapped because the guy /sometimes/ threatens to kill her, or some other threat that they don't want.

[@ComputerTrainer101]

***** As a women you know its true so don't be offended so easily. I've seen the best of women turn down tons of great, intelligent, good looking guys for a narcissist who treats them like shit and in front of other people. It's just the way things are. I treat women like gold. It doesn't get me as far as an asshole guy gets though.

[@akiman712]

Title is misleading. Psychopaths are not necessarily serial killers. Some don't ever commit to killing anything. Also, a fetish is a sexual attraction to an object; non-living. I'm able to let the 'fetish' part pass through with some scrutiny as fetish really focuses more on objects.

[@LeahAliceparker]

+Guillermo Barwa I agree; that's why the suffix of the word is "philia" and not "ism"

[@akiman712]

tapirtoon You cant assume that. There are actual reports of psycopaths who know that doing certain things are considered by society "wrong" and so they dont act on them. These individuals often had the classic traits of psycopathy but recied alot of attention and love from their parents. Even so psycopathy is something genetic, some people are prone to certain conditions, and it may be that two generation share the same disroder but it wont mean the third generation is to follow next. Same with these guys. Psychopaths are at a higher chance of doing "bad" things due to certin parts of the brain being undeveloped or with low activity.

Melissa Jansen Sorry but you know nothinh about psychopaths. Why the hell would you think a psychopath is a killer? Most of them are not, or you would probably be dead. There are many of them out there... believe me. Great leaders or CEO's are considered to be psychopaths because of the strong personality they have and the lack of remorse. It doesn't even mean they are violent persons. They are impulsive, and if a situation comes up, if the first thing that comes to their mind is violence, they will probably strike... But even in that, psychos usually take their shot only when they know they will "win". So impulsive yes, but not dumb at all. You have a wrong understanding of a condition that is more about them being antisocial than being serial killers. That's a problem with watching too much TV i guess.

Psychopaths are often confident and charming, which is understandably attractive to anyone. Contrary to the image of villains, they often dress and speak well, and just seem like nice, normal, fun guys.

[@IrisKarls]

My ex-boyfriend is a psychopath, I just didn't realise/accept it until only a few weeks ago (I broke up with him 4 years ago). The reason why, is that I got a new job, where my nighshift manager behaves in the same way, as my ex-boyfriend. I began to question it, (he turned the faults on me, though it could never be my fault and other strange behavior). I talked with another colleague, who directly said to me 'he's a psychopath'. I thought at first, that he was overreacting, but since then, I have been Googling symptoms and videos of this kind of behavior. Psychopaths are really clever, and it most likely takes experience and knowledge, before you can spot one. Often look into their eyes or at them, when something bad happens. They can't help but to feel pleasured..

[@stephena1196]

Yes, I think you're right. Psychopaths appear to have very similar patterns of thinking and behaviour and once you become familiar with it they are surprisingly predictable. Though I'm not sure they are particularly clever, it's just that they spend so much time and effort in disguising their actions and manipulating others, that with so much practise they become good at it. Am so glad you broke up with him.

I also want to be a pathologist. Is that weird.

[@transforgoku]

Go with the psychologist...

[@theseculartheist3239]

Humans are weird. You're in good company. I think your attraction to dangerous and powerful men is most likely evolutionary. For millennia, women who were attracted to the strongest men had a higher rate of survival, and produced the most children. Thus, the tendency is passed on - either through genetics (nature), experiences (nurture), or both. So, while it makes sense, be careful who you associate with. Perhaps, consider dating athletes or military instead of gangsters or killers.

[@Brenda-xy6bc]

everyones different, and there is no "wierd". you seem like a good person, and as long as who you know what is good for yourself and others, and try to be the best you, don't worry too much. obviously it seems like you want to make the best choices, just like every human being.

[@WhiteOwlMango]

Andrea Lopez me too dude. im 18 and ive been attracted to rapists, serial killers and cannibals since i can remember xD ive always fantasized about them coming in and killing my parents and kidnapping me amd we fall in love and i sit and accompany him while he mutilates, rapes, or eats people. id lust after the serial killers and bad guys in movies. and iwant to be a forensic psychologist or a corrections psychologist so were both weird i guess xD

[@lilywhetsell8106]

Andrea Lopez I can relate to you so much

[@ughhseriouslywowdamn]

I have a hopeless attraction to fictional psychopaths and high functioning sociopaths, but I'd probably never get involved with a real one.

[@temmiechang1180]

I think that what women are attracted to is how these men have been driven insane by their desires. They are turned on by how much these men want certain things. It makes them think that these men could desire them in that same psychotic way.

[@TheGoodContent37]

What about call for attention?! I am amazed that this wasn't a part of the study. Woman LOVE attention, maybe because they are an object of it since little girls, stating to be in love with a serial killer might get you lot bunch of attention and won't hurt because they are at prison, "attention whores" hate competition and no one would compite for their lovely serial killer.

[@philipmarlowe90]

***** Textbook example of women saying one thing about herself and doing the very things she denies. LOL.

[@philipmarlowe90]

***** What attention are hermits trying to achieve from these people in our society?

[@Gaze73]

Ted Bundy got like 200 love letters and marriage proposals a day, months before his execution. Humanity is fucking sad.

[@joel230182]

they need to write this more carefully. And seriously

[@Ankam863]

The funny thing is we do not hear of a lot of hybristophiliacs scanning the sex offender registry. So, I think it is the whole "being locked up" part that gets them. That and the notoriety.

[@ShadowCatGambit]

I've never really known a woman who was turned on by killers, but I've known women who were turned on by a guys whom say "No I didn't make the 'mistake' you made the the mistake" and "if you can't make it work, I'll find someone else who will." You can see the pure adoration, love and joy in their eyes after guys tell them this, just like in porn..... It's pretty discouraging, especially when nicer guys are treated like garbage and betrayed horrendously, led on to believe a woman loves them just to be discarded at the most painful possible moment.

[@BobHutton]

I suspect this has something to do with our evolution. On the savanna in Africa a woman who chose a violent mate may have actually increased her (and her offspring's) chances of survival. The violent mate, while they may have presented some risk to her and her children, would have provided better protection from predators (human or otherwise).

[@philipmarlowe90]

exactly and these feminist women will deny reality to the bitter end instead of investigating it the topic scientifically ala evolutionary psychologist.

[@philipmarlowe90]

***** The topic we were discussing is (and I should paraphrase) "women attracted to men who make other men around them uncomfortable. It stems from their Homo sapiens female instinct to mate/manipulate a male that will provide and protect (or at least makes them feel that way." Staying on topic

[@BobHutton]

***** I'm not sure about your claim that hunter-gatherers were relatively non-violent. Do you have a reference for that? Steven Pinker in his book "Better Angels of Our Nature" looked at the level of violence in a number of traditional societies (including North American ones). He concluded that typically in a hunter-gatherer society you are (or were) about 10 times more likely to die at the hands of another human than in a subsistence farming society. And in a subsistence farming society you are typically about 10 times more likely to die at the hands of another human than in a modern western society. (And he has a lot of references to backup his claims).

[@cameronranger4848]

My ex boyfriend, lets call him Ted. He came from a not so nice background and grew up into the potential serial killer that he is. He takes hobby in killing the stray cats in the neighbourhood but would never harm the at that used to belong to his sister. Which she had named Kibbles. He fucking loves Kibbles and even sold his homephone to pay for catfood when he ran out of cash.

[@cameronranger4848]

Mr. Swaztika, until you grow a vagina, and have the Bonny & Clyde effect, you'll never understand.

[@cameronranger4848]

I'm just happy he stopped killing the cats. ^^~

[@LavenderLydia]

Another thing, it would make them feel incredibly special. If the man who wants to kill everybody makes an exception and loves you, that would probably feel pretty powerful.

[@setofreakinkaiba8553]

I have a submissive personality so I attract the wrong people. I'm recovering from an abusive relationship. I didn't necessarily want to be with someone like that but it happened and it was a happy hell. However I don't want to go through that again.

[@DonCDXX]

The problem at the root of all this is the lack of education about humanity. Fearful of retribution from religious types classifying us "divine creations" rather than instinct driven animals. Our conscious mind is the only claim that we humans have to being superior to every other creature on the planet. By act of choice and force of will we can deny instinct and make ourselves greater than the animals we came from. It's instinct that drives women to dangerous men, just as it is instinct that makes men capable of being dangerous. It is conscious choice that keeps most men from being violent cavemen and gradually more and more and has been a woman's choice to stop enabling that shit.

[@kimberlydaly4921]

Hm, I'm watching this video because I personally find myself attracted to people like The Joker and other violent characters so I wanted to know why because I can't help liking him, something about him just draws me to him and I feel this connection...I've never killed anyone, atleast not in real life...and I feel like maybe he's acting the way he is because of neglect in the past and if nobody's gonna love him now the violence will just get worse and maybe if I love him it will stop? Idk honestly, I feel sort of neglected and I think about killing people that have bullied me and made my life the hell it is and if I killed them I would still want someone to love me... people not loving me and continuing to neglect me would make me angry and would just bring back the urge to kill more but idk, I'm pretty confused myself

[@omark4649]

This is a sign on subconscious trauma. Then again, it maybe because you are a girl.

[@kimberlydaly4921]

Omar Kharoti Hm, thanks, although I doubt it's because I'm a girl, I don't know, I'm sure there's some guy that's been drawn to women in this circumstance, it can't just be girls, maybe it's a mind thing

[@kimberlydaly4921]

Bianca Arantes Yeah :(

[@TheGothgril]

+Kimberly Daly I'm the same way so I totally understand how you feel ^_^

[@kimberlydaly4921]

Vanessa Larsen Yayy, I don't feel alone anymore xD

[@imlostagainWTF]

when you say "expert says..." who are these experts? I dont see any citations linked to a reliable source in the description.

[@youngnebula187]

This is so true !

[@ShadowsHeat]

Good guys finish last, right?

[@ninjahclause2518]

morning morality you sure hes a good guy? prove it?

[@SuperBearPoo]

Wow, AGAIN with yet another video that contradicts a video they made in which a couple of DNews hosts stated that there's no major psychological difference between men and women.

[@juliosister]

It begins with curiosity... many run away when shit hits the fan... they are scared. but there is this kind, kind of rare, that feel they can fix us, they take responsability...

[@MrSquishedsquashed]

I'd assume this happens the other way around as well?

[@Thetwinkly]

I got a better answer: Bitches be crazy!

[@jonahmathis9914]

i kind of like ted bundy hes kind of hot

[@DanielC-dz8pu]

It would be nice if you put your guest's links in the description

[@polly30]

Oh my gosh, she's amazing, get her to be one of the news presenters on DNews

[@jamsoup47]

You can just see the crazy all over that girl. Wasn't manson the one who convinced a bunch of women to kill for him? Id be more worried about her becoming a killer.

[@marcianad1846]

Right so, what this video is trying to say is that women in general can just suddenly become attracted to psychopaths? Seriously? So one morning I'm going to wake up and be like ''Oh my god Charles Manson is one attractive motherfucker''. Generalisation much? What a ridiculous excuse of a video.

[@CapeEniEer]

that explains why i am obsessed with joker this much...

[@shreddedreams]

This is the best answer D-news could come up with? the next time a WHY is posited then please actually give us a frikin answer!

[@RainAngel111]

only attracted to them in anime... Gaara, Grimmjow, Hisoka, Hidan... all crazy violent guys that just push my buttons in all the wrong ways. what can I say? I love a bad boy... especially a misunderstood bad boy

[@martint1775]

you like bad boys eh? not to brag, but when Disney Channel asked me to go to their site with my parents permission I didn't ask them

[@RainAngel111]

[@RainAngel111]

[@JoyThirsty3]

Where's Trace? Where's Laci? Where's Anthony? I don't like this stand-in host. She's too giggly and blithe.

[@K8319M]

theyre just someone who feels like their dad - distant and scary becomes romantic

[@stormking989]

I can't stand people who sympathize with these self destructive evil individuals.
