This dawned on me. We know that women are attracted to the dark triad--but whose more dangerous than an unattractive man? Rather than relying on their looks to attract women, we have to resort to manipulation, coercion, stalking, and rape. Attractive dudes have to worry about literally none of that to secure sex--but it's all we've got. Think about it--thousands of years of men making laws to ensure women as their property--to ensure paternity--and all those men were privileged citizens. For everyone else, it was anyone's game. You don't own the harems--when less than half of your sex are reproducing, how do you procreate? You go to war with your fellow men, hoping to share in the spoils--and in doing so, more men die, further decreasing the male rate of reproduction!
Now those instincts are hardwired into us--only to be tamed if we allow our hardwiring to be hijacked by pornography--tricking our brains into thinking we've reproduced. Instead, we think we have to stalk women. Get to know everything about them to increase our chances that something magical will happen. Manipulate their reality using our advanced faculties of reason. Get them to believe what is clearly not true--and then, take advantage of them when they've been thoroughly isolated.
Sexual fitness has made us inherently disingenuous. Liars. Rapists--all for survival.
