I know they are good at manipulating, but you would think manipulating someone into getting married is a bit far fetched. Conning their way to a sale, an investment, a favour, a promotion, sure... but that's because they are willing to circumvent the social norms that govern shallow relationships. Marriage is supposed to be a very deep relationship so I'm not sure that manipulation is the explanation.
- taybin 13y agoThat is an idealized description of marriage. In actuality, marriage is a legal document that some people want very much.
- mtdewcmu 13y agoA psychopath doesn't experience normal emotions, so they can't have a deep relationship, and they don't know what one is supposed to feel like. When I read Without Conscience, I was surprised to learn that psychopathy is a brain disorder that causes a well-defined set of impairments and is possible to diagnose fairly reliably.
