True or false: women fall in Dark Triad traits (psychopathy, narcissism & machiavellianism) more because women are emotionally not as stable as men?

I think psychopathy is actually all about emotional stability... sort of, since it supposedly involves not feeling emotions at all! Not sure about machiavellianism, either. This would mean women are good at planning ahead, and they are falling for feminism, which might sound like a good thing on the surface, but in the long term it might hit women even harder than men. I would agree with narcissism, though. Women are absolutely obsessed with looking good and all this stuff. In a way, even You are actually being narcissistic right now, with this question You asked... It's like: "Look how smart I am!" And while it might be objectively true, You are kind of showing it off!

So... Yeah... Not sure about the Dark Triad in its entirety, but I 100% agree on narcissism, and I kind of get the psychopathy claims, given the actions of specimens like Amber Heard. I would not credit women with macchiavellianism, though, and Amber Heard is again a good example of why. She literally single-handedly slaughtered the idea of #BelieveWomen - You cannot tell me it was a well-thought operation. She might have had no emotions regarding slandering Captain Johnny Depp and squeezing Him dry, but she did not really think it over well. Macchiavelli would be disappointed in her.

@melssvdv I wrote something quite similar to this, and it generated the biggest shit storm you ever saw!

Though there seems to be underreporting of female psychopathy, recent studies appear to indicate that men exhibit three to four times more paychopathy that females in general.

It was thought that men exhibit such traits about six times more often, but recent studies suggest that women exhibit dark triad traits differently than men. In addition, where these initial studies were done, male prison populations, would also show a male bias in outcomes.

Until more studies are done with women, precise conclusions can't be drawn.

But since, historically, men have shown these tendencies MORE often, it would appear they are more emotionally unstable, not women..

[melssvdv]

Reality shows that men are more emotionally stable. So those studies must be false. But then again, "gender studies" always try to demonize men and romanticize women just because throughout generations men hold the most power and contributions because of their biological superiority (strength, wisdom, leadership, reproduction, etc.) so the media nowadays is all about sensationalism to reverse narrative to get more clicks from women.

Probably not. It's more likely those women have had poor role models for men in their formative years. And this has caused them to be very poor judges of character. Yes their emotions are a factor though. Because to women like this false bravado looks the same as confidence. Ergo they fall for any handsome face, good body, with a smooth practiced line.

False, men score higher as Dark Triads. Women and men are both emotional beings and both are capable of instability... Drop this BS!

[CherryLove007]

Women are more emotionally fluent. Be grateful you have that capacity to feel easily.

Massively false.
