Clearly you have done a lot of thinking about the "finer" qualities of sociopaths. So much so that I believe you've come to idolize them. I guess that's why the urge to start threads on them hits you every month or so.
But okay, let's think for a bit about sociopaths. And let us ask ourselves what makes civilization -- and all the benefits of living in civilization -- possible. The sociopath may be able to get ahead by cheating the system, but it's the non-sociopaths who make that system possible. It was men of a moral bent who brought order to chaos, not utterly self-absorbed socio/pyschopaths. Civilization depends on people who do care about consequences, who spend quite some time predicting the consequences of differing courses of action and then selecting the more beneficient ones. Sure, everybody cares about "number 1", but some people think it a good thing to care about numbers 2 to 6 billion, also. Maybe such people are "suckers", but I bet you you wouldn't like life much without them.
I say all that because it's pretty clear to me that the underlying message in these sociopath threads is "you want women? then you, too, should be a psychopath! (or at least act like one as much as you can)". I guess society has been heeding this message, because we're rapidly reaching the point (if we're not already there) where getting sex is considered pretty much the only important thing in life. And since getting more sex is more easily accomplished by deceit and utter lack of regard for consequences of actions, "sociopathic" kind of behavior more regularly takes place. The conclusion that all this causes a decline in civility is impossible to escape.
I once pointed out to you that sociopathic behavior is more prevalent in the lower strata of society. You took issue with that. But since inability or unwillingness to consider consequences is obviously a key part of the behavior you talk about, people for whom "thinking" and "reflecting" -- of the "deeper" kind -- is an alien or "nerdy" activity are far more likely to be seduced by the prospects more sex by following your kind of advice (and the "feels good? do it!" message of our popular culture).
