Psychopaths are usually depicted as chilling, sinister figures, but those with psychopathic traits are often far from the stereotype you see on screen.
The term ‘psychopath’ gets thrown around a lot – especially in the world of dating – but it’s not actually a diagnosis.
People with psychopathic traits are more likely to be diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) – a mental health condition characterised by a disregard for the rights of others and societal norms.
ASPD encompasses both sociopathy and psychopathy, which includes traits like lack of empathy, impulsivity, and superficial charm.
Take Vic (@victhepath) for example – a TikToker who describes herself as a ‘diagnosed psychopath’ – and talks about her experiences with ASPD, which she was diagnosed with at 19.
The 22-year-old content creator, explains that she ‘can’t understand love’, and left her 260,000 followers fascinated after she revealed her approach to dating in one video.
In the clip, she says that while she’s had ‘flings’ her whole life, she has only ever been in two ‘official’ relationships – both of which were short-term and only lasted a few months.
Vic claims she has ‘never been in love’ with anyone and did not love either of her exes. While she ‘enjoyed their company’, she claimed she knew she was not going to end up in a long-term relationship with either of them and was ‘just bored’.

She likened her feelings to them as a ‘pretty heavy obsession’.
Vic says: ‘I don’t date so much as I engage in hookup culture. I love a good friends-with-benefits situation, but when it comes to something more serious, I do not have the bandwidth for that.
‘It’s very hard for me to find someone I’m interested in beyond physicality, so that’s why I haven’t really had many relationships in my life.’
When it comes to looks, Vic explains she’s ‘very shallow’ and has ‘extremely high standards’ – so she will only go for men who are more attractive than she is. ‘I don’t like to be the hot one in a relationship,’ she says.
Vic only seeks out men who will ‘take care of her financially’, and she never pays on dates.
What other qualities does she look for? Well, some of the ‘must-haves’ on her list, aren’t that dissimilar to the rest …read more
