Women are more attracted to men with psychopathic traits.
New findings - conducted by researchers from Hunan Normal University in China - show that men with psychopathic traits are more appealing to the opposite sex.
In the study, the researchers showed photos of men with varying degrees of Dark Triad traits - narcissism, machiavellianism and psychopathy - to over 500 women, who were asked to rate the men in terms of attractiveness and trustworthiness.
The results revealed that the images of the men with high Dark Triad traits were seen as both more trustworthy and more attractive by females.
Study author Dr. Qi Wu said: "In short-term cooperative settings, individuals with high Dark Triad traits tend to inspire more trust."
"[This is] partly due to being seen as more attractive based on their facial features."

Busy social life during 50s can signify Alzheimer's disease
Old people socialising Credit: BANG - Entertainment News BANG - Entertainment News Bang Showbiz A busy social life in your 50s could be an indicator of Alzheimer's disease. A massive study of almost half a million Brits aged 40 and older found that people with a higher genetic risk for Alzheimer's tended to report two per cent more social activity and three per cent less isolation in their 50s. Dr. Ashwin Kotwal, lead researcher at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), said: "We don't know if they're chasing more chatter or if others are rallying around them. Their social lives may expand in these early stages." Traditional wisdom suggests friendships and family time protect brain health by boosting "cognitive reserve". But this study highlights a reversal to the trend and suggests that alarm bells should ring if a person's schedule becomes jam packed for no obvious reason.

Ancient Romans ate fried chicken
Fried chicken Credit: BANG - Entertainment News BANG - Entertainment News Bang Showbiz Ancient Romans loved eating fried chicken. Scientists have discovered 2,000-year-old remains of songbirds that were deep-fried and eaten by Romans as a convenient snack. The leftovers were found at a rubbish pit near the ancient ruins of a fast food shop in the Roman city of Pollentia on the Spanish island Mallorca. The songbirds, a forerunner to today's chicken, are thought to have been flattened on-site and quick-fried for sale to customers. They were also eaten as a street food by the general population instead of an "elite" delicacy for the rich as previously thought. Dr. Alejandro Valenzuela, a researcher at the Mediterranean Institute for Advanced Studies, said: "Thrushes were commonly sold and consumed in Roman urban spaces. "(This challenges) the prevailing notion based on written sources that thrushes were exclusively a luxury food item for elite banquets."
