They don't and they do. Most people won't put up with them but there are people who will deal with their behavior and abrasiveness and maybe even be attracted to them but there will be a far bigger number of people who won't. So they have success with some people but not most people. And the answer to your last 2 questions is again...they're not. Those people you're thinking of don't have have aspd and they aren't psychopaths but they probably have some of the same traits or slight variations of those traits. Maybe a new word needs to be invented for those types like the so called "corporate psychopath" who is in fact not a psychopath. Real ASPD/psychopaths/sociopaths are mean cold hearted motherfuckers that don't even try that hard at all to conceal it. Conversations about high/low functioning are retarded. Anyone with experience in life can spot these people from a mile away, they don't blend in at all unless you're some kind of pants on head retard. Go watch the Paul Bernard interview. Anyway, my brother has ASPD with a lot of narcissistic traits, the psychiatrists working with him at the time couldn't decide between ASPD or NPD. Either way he's not someone you want to fuck with unless you like danger. Come to think of it a lot of the men in my family including myself have a lot of these traits but he's the only one retarded enough to actually end up getting diagnosed, mostly because of me *wink*.
