Are YOU dating a psychopath? Scientists reveal key sign to look for

Analysis revealed that men who reported having more sex through dating apps were likely to score higher in psychopathy. The researchers, from the Hochschule Döpfer University of Applied Sciences in Germany, warned this behaviour could reflect exploitative tendencies and an ability to target vulnerable individuals. 'Individuals with a faster life strategy, particularly men high in psychopathy and sexual desires, report more mating success via dating apps,' they said.
