'ATTRACTED TO DEVIANT PERSONALITIES'

Why are so many people sexually attracted to 'deviant' personalities?
Why We Are Attracted to Deviant Personalities
Fernando GutiƩrrez and his team, at the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona, studied nearly 1,000 'heterosexual' men and women.
The research showed that people with 'pathological' personality types, such the neurotic and impulsive, had more mates and more children than average.

Both males and females who were impulsive, reckless and impetuous attracted more short-term partners than participants with average personalities.
The itinerant, gypsy lifestyles of impulsive people might put them in contact with a greater number of potential partners.
Many people are attracted to the impulsive and the risk-takers because they are considered brave, independent, self-reliant and 'captivating'.

Obsessive-compulsive males - but not females - were successful at securing long-lasting mates.
Obsessive-compulsive males tend to be serious, reliable, cautious and much richer than average.
Women believe that money means survival, safeness and resources for the children.

Neurotic females (instability, anxiousness and insecurity) were more likely to be in lasting relationships and more likely to have lots of children.
Some men may see high levels of neurotic emotionality in a woman as a sign of femininity.
