A 2015 study found that women aged 18–28 view narcissistic men as suitable partners 'despite future long-term mating desires which are unlikely to be achieved with a narcissistic male and possession of substantial mate sampling experience.' This is a documented mismatch between stated preferences (wanting a kind, stable partner) and revealed preferences (rating Dark Triad men ~1 SD more attractive).
