Psychopaths in love?
So I've put over 240 hours into Rimworld and I've noticed something. Psychopaths never try to romance other colonists.
Now one could say "indeed, they don't care about anyone or love" but someone can desire another without caring or loving them. Plenty of psycho people irl get married and start relationships and whatnot.
So, I was wondering if anyone has actually seen psychopaths trying to seduce others.
If not, might the devs consider changing it so they do? Otherwise psychopaths are more like hermit jerks, they ignore everyone and don't care who is a friend, which doesn't make sense because even someone totally bereft of empathy and care would want to get friends to help them survive, even if just to keep themselves alive.

Yes actually one of mine became lovers and then married after a while, note that there is a chance this is just a side effect of prepare carefully, but one of mine have with another psychopath who was a child soldier i think into a scout, the male was a awkward nerd into housemate

I started a one man colony and eventually one of the wanderers that wanted to join was his lover. They got married, then divorced immediately after the honeymoon buff lapsed lol

Yeah, I've seen a psychopath colonist fall in love with another of my colonists. What was curious most of all to me at the time was that they were both female, but neither of them had the Gay trait.
As Shun The Witch said, it may have been a side effect of Prepare Carefully though.

Interesting, Maybe this should be tested with an amazonian psychopath tribe i guess, although that would still require prepare carefully. well, unless you get like amazing rerolls even then it would take like i dont know, 4 hours alone.

I had a "Staggeringly Ugly" "Psychopath" "Annoying voice." Who got married to another psycopath. XD

Most people have a social +40 toward Beautiful colonists, but psychopaths just don't seem to notice. So it wouldn't surprise me if staggeringly ugly and annoying voice doesn't impinge on them either.

Just rename two Fred and Rose West and I'm sure they will do the wild thing.
