@adam-l Be more careful with your language. Mental disorders have specific meanings and characteristics. Avoid the silly hollywood interpretations - they're usually incorrect.

The opposite end of psychopathy is obsessive-compulsive behavior.

No they're not. One is characterised by difficulty empathising, the other is not characterised by over-empathising, but by extremely unpleasant intrusive thoughts. e.g. detailed fantasies (against your will) of self harm or your own death or drowning your baby in more extreme cases.

Taking this into account, and the fact that it's almost impossible to tell a psychopath (especially a woman) before she strike, it might make sense to select girls with mild OC behavior when considering an LTR.

You don't want a woman who suffers intrusive thoughts and indulges compulsive behaviour as a coping mechanism. She already struggles to cope with life normally: this is not ideal material for leading and moulding into a good supportive partner.

@Apollo The classic trying to use red pill methods to achieve blue pill dreams. If you're trying to prevent cheating... the biggest thing that will have an impact is setting the ground rules that prevent her putting herself in positions where she can potentially cheat. "You do whatever you like, but my girlfriend doesn't do X."

That said, all of this is only relevant to LTRs. Doesn't matter if your plate is sleeping with other guys, so long as she still knows how it needs to go with you. I really don't get why so many guys coming to TRP see LTRs as the gold standard... it really isn't. There's just a different set of benefits and trade offs.
