The Code is the Design

Psychologists mention how ASPD type people appear more attractive to the opposite sex. Psychologists also talk about super-stimuli. Is it possible that super-stimuli might affect both genders? The ability of ASPD types to effortlessly mimic behaviours that they know people are instinctively drawn to, may be a kind of super-stimuli that prevents people from forming more normal attachments. This may also be helped by the media portraying extreme characteristics as more normal than they are; things like excessive confidence and effortless charm etc, which are more characteristic of NPD and ASPD types. Using gender-neutral terms here because the argument applies equally to both visual and psychological stimuli. ASPD psychological tactics may be a kind of super stimuli too, not just the NPD visual ones. Push-Pull etc are well known psychological ploys of control. This is extending that argument to more psychological stimuli.
