I have met a real psychopath. I've probably known a few others, they say that one in a hundred people is one. But it's not always obvious. Most of them blend in fairly well, particularly on casual acquaintance. But I have, finally, met somebody where I can confirm, and others agree, that he meets the definitions and shows the behaviors.
It's very fascinating, in a "poke it with a stick" kind of way.
I'm still glad I didn't friend him back though. Meeting one and seeing his psychopathy manifest itself second hand is interesting. Getting stalked by one first hand wouldn't be much fun.
