But how do male psychopaths operate, and what kind of traits and behaviors do they seek in a potential romantic partner? Here are the four surprising traits psychopaths look for in women.

Is His Love Real? 10 Ways to Know If He's the One

I once lived with a boyfriend who started to financially, psychologically, and emotionally abuse me. To save myself, I moved out. When I tried to tell those closest to me why it had to end, rather than asking about my emotional and mental wellbeing, responses included, “At least he didn’t physically abuse you,” and, “We don’t see that side of him.” Some friends even continued to socialize with him.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives.
