I think this trait has less to do with genetics than it does with women wanting to sleep with men who are more like them. It's pretty normal for women to be self-obsessed liars, they're just looking for a man who thinks like them, and the psychopathy just makes for that little extra kick that really gets the juices going.
About lying:
I was recently chatting with a friend of mine who was reading this certain book. She said she hadn't really wanted to read that book, but she had to read at least a little of it because her boss gave it to her telling her it was a great book. She didn't want to read it, and she didn't want to turn her down, so she accepted the book and planned on lying about reading it. She was glad she ended up liking it and therefore wanting to read it rather than face the prospect of discussing a book she hadn't read with her boss convincingly enough to make her think she read it. Her self-obsession caused her to lie. I think these sorts of lies are ubiquitous in females. Neither me nor any guy I know would ever lie in this manner, we would simply have told our boss that we weren't interested right now and maybe later. But it never occurred to her, apparently.

I disagree. I think a guy would say he read it and never feel guilty about not reading it. The girl in your example obviously has a conscious. It would be hard to refuse if your boss asked you to read it.

If my boss recommended a book to me, I would read it. If it was really boring and I couldn't get into it enough to finish it, I would just tell him that. I don't see the big deal there.
As for the article...
A study has found that men with the "dark triad" of traits – narcissism, thrill- seeking and deceitfulness – are likely to have a larger number of sexual affairs.
This may be true, but personally I don't find any of those traits particularly attractive. I like men who are confident, but narcissism annoys me. Thrill-seeking is nice to a degree, and I suppose I would say it's the most attractive of those 3 traits, but it's not something that makes a difference in whether I'm interested in a guy. Deceitfulness is never attractive. I suppose they're describing the "suave", "ladies' man" type of guy here... But really, I've never liked those guys at all. I don't even like it when the guy makes the first move.

I always hate making the first move. I feel that if your personality is strong enough, she won't be able to resist making the move. I've known guys that were good at making moves, and guys that were good at getting the girls to make the move, and hands down, I'd rather be more like the latter. Not that there's anything wrong with the former, mind you. To each his own. I just feel that the girls that are confident enough to make the move will make for better friends, lovers, relationships. And it seems much more natural and fun to me. "Oh please girl, don't even talk that way to me. You don't know what you're dealing with. I bet you're not even a good kisser." *sly smile* It's fun to see her reaction, even if she doesn't kiss me right then and there!

Hahahaha, you don't know men very well, sweetie! You might think it'd be hard to refuse your boss on something personal like that, but a guy wouldn't. He'd just be like, "Oh man, I can't, I got too many things on my plate right now, I just couldn't start a book right now," or something similar. Most men are very good at avoiding stuff like that. And the conscience part? Holy crap that's hilarious. Conscience my ass! Having a conscience would imply that you value your boss's time, honesty, money, the like, and you wouldn't squander any of that when the boss isn't looking. You wouldn't lie, run the clock, goof off, and other stuff. Pulling a stunt like that means you don't respect your boss, not that you do.

Whoever wants to make the move should just STFU and do it! It shouldn't always be the guy making first moves or the woman bitching about why the guy hasn't made a move yet.

This is true, but you're limiting yourself to like 10% of girls there. Nearly all girls will sit and wait for the guy to make a move, even if they're really interested in him.
And it seems much more natural and fun to me. "Oh please girl, don't even talk that way to me. You don't know what you're dealing with. I bet you're not even a good kisser." *sly smile* It's fun to see her reaction, even if she doesn't kiss me right then and there!
Ugh. I would just tell a guy who acted like that to fuck off. The cocky type and the playing games type don't appeal to me whatsoever.

Straight off, if I had said that to you, then sure. But I would only say that after a long evening of teasing, flirting, and fun conversation, and it would be in a really low-key, fun tone of voice, not an overly cocky one. Think Usher, not Lil' Jon. I'd maybe look at your lips while I'm doing it, then blink once and look right in your eyes. Then wait. :p If she told me to fuck off and stormed off after that, I'd laugh my ass off and thank her for not wasting my time any further!

Girls who like "self-obsessed psychopaths" are the exact same as a baby who wants a bright colored rattle. They want what initially looks good, and then complain when that is all that is there. It seems to be a running theme that those who take the time to worry so much about their appearance make that the basis of their lives, and don't really have much else to offer.
Then there are girls who just like drama and reality TV. They watch the women on TV and think that is "normal" or acceptable behavior, and try to emulate it. Others just love having things "going on" in their lives. They find themselves bored if their coke-snorting boyfriend isn't in trouble with the police, or if he isn't being completely egotistical and fighting with her. She welcomes his egoism to match her own. These type of girls are a dime a dozen, and usually can be found dressed skanky at a bar or night club. It's the shallowest of the shallow... I hope they all stay away from me.

I wanna make the first move. I dont like it when guys "hit" on me. If I want you, I'll let you know.
And personally I dont have a type. I've dated all kinds of guys.
As for the book I would have been honest and said I dont have time to read.
