Female psychopath reveals how she uses 'manipulative' dating tactics to control men
You'd think that revealing that you're a psychopath on a dating app might ruin your chances slightly but one self-confessed sadist still finds a lot of success.
Australian woman Kanika Batra was diagnosed with ASPD and narcissistic personality disorder when she was just 21 and she's been shedding some more light on what it means to be, and date, a psychopath.
She's previously spoken with LADbible about the 'rage' she feels 'behind the mask' and now she's opened up on another podcast about the world of dating when you're something of a sadist.
Fortunately, in a generation that's increasingly obsessed about the way that we look, that personality trait doesn't seem to be a real issue for the men and women who have been in Kanika's life, as she admitted to using 'manipulative' tactics with potential partners to get what she wants.

Speaking with fellow content creator Chris Williamson, the Aussie author revealed: "I don't think that sexual activity should exist outside of a serious relationship or marriage. I am bisexual, I would go on dates with a number of different people and selectively cut them off. I would trim it down until I had the person I wanted.
"It's fantastic to have somebody but I could never really lift the mask for any of them. I couldn't be fully myself. It's very tiring when you have to wear this mask constantly and you know that there's going to be consequences if you don't."
However, while she's open about her own struggles to be herself in a relationship, she also admitted that she would use common tactics such as 'love bombing', to ensure she wins the love and attention of whoever she is interested in, something she admits is 'worrying' no matter who does it.
Kanika is married but still coaches some clients on relationships, sometimes even encouraging the use of 'ruthless' manipulative tactics.
She added: "I tell my coaching clients where ruthlessness should begin and where it should end. It should definitely end when you're in a secure relationship. You don't want to damage that in any way, shape or form. I value people's relationships if they are good for them.
"But, if some guy is treating you like you're nothing then it's more than fair for me to tell them that 'if you want to get revenge, if you want to be in power again', then you can use these methods
"Basically, I've had a lot of women who have slept with a guy for a while and they don't know how to get him to commit. If he thinks he's better than you, show him your other options."
It's not just potential partners that Kanika uses these tactics on however as she has some subtle manipulation techniques for pretty much everyone she encounters.
If that sounds like you cup of tea, then Kanika does offer up some coaching but I think most folks would agree that it's best to leave manipulation out of your relationships. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned though.
