Studies show that many women find the Dark Triad of personality traits attractive, but why? A lot of women want a man who will destroy anyone in her path, even simply people she doesn't like. The desire is to have an attack dog who also can provide for the woman, care for her, and commit only to her, never criticizes her, and constantly kiss her ass and tell her how special she is. It bothered me at first, but I do indulge in some of these elements to an extent. It's something that really bothers me about myself though and has prevented me from dating.
