If theyre even a 6/10 and above itd be so fucking easy to lure in victims, but it seems like a male dominated profession.

Ted Bundy: *despite being a relatively handsome man, still requires complicated scenario and stellar acting ability to manipulate and lure in female victim*
Female Victim: *still only falls for it sometimes*

Sydney Sweeney: Hey you, you there, wanna fuck? Follow me.
Male victim: GUH-HUH LEAD THE WAY

Because most women that would become serial killers just kill their children instead and then suicide

Well you see for every kill a male professional serial killer gets, a woman with the same level of experience only gets credited with 84% of a kill.

Relatively few women get sexual release from killing. Which is the compulsion that drives most males.

Female serial killers nearly always do it for practical gain (black widows, Victorian baby farm murderers).

Men are more violent in general. So it's or my opinion it takes a woman to actually be crazy to do the same things and from all I've heard from prison stories on the woman's side ir sounds true. Women make up far less of the prison population but for what's there they tend to be more violent nastier etc.

It's actually pretty hard to catch most serial killers. The fact that there is little to connect them to the crime makes it very hard to tie the crime and ultimately catch them. They kind of have to get caught in the act most of the time. A lot of the famous serial killers have a double digit body count and there are quite a few that were never caught. Thankfully, serial killers are pretty rare, at least to the best of our knowledge.

One woman killed her husband, burned him to ashes, and spread him on the road. Her daughter told on her and then she "Disappeared". Now, no body and the only witness is missing. If women have a place to burn stuff, they can do it.

This. I remember looking at a list of the most notorious female serial killers, and it was dominated by women in nursing positions, with their victims being old people or children.

Kinda yeah. I'm not a serial killer, but I understand the itch for violence. Martial arts is a way to let that out contructively.

Shut up, this statement is always dumb in these contexts. Topics don't matter in general. We just want to talk about shit.

understanding why can hopefully lead to us being able to address issues that can lead to fewer people becoming serial killers.

like, if it's biological, then maybe there's not a lot we can do, but if it's societal, then there are things we can.

It's just horrible people doing horrible things for any variety of reasons. Black Widows are certainly serial killers. Munchausen-by-Proxy if they killed off several family members or patients. Death Nurses. I'm not sure if we're counting Angels of Mercy if their patients asked them to stop their suffering? Medical euthanasia is still a point of contention because of bible thumpers to this day. You can look through history and find these horrible people. The latest I knew of was that nurse who was poisoning babies in the hospital.

I guess i can understand if there's one operating in your area. Or if you are studying in order to catch them.

I'm just saying that, out of the serial killers we're aware of (according to a quick Google search), men make up about 85% while women are 8%. the rest are ongoing cases where the gender of the killer hasn't been determined.

with huge differences like that, it would help to know why.

Morbidity is interesting. Anything out of the usual is interesting, really, but morbidity is extra relevant to society and also our mortal coil.

There probably are. Women tend to be smarter than men, so they probably just don't get caught as often.

I remember reading some research recently that positied that there are just as many female and male psychopaths, just that women hide it better/were overlooked by society.

I imagine that that means that there may be a similar number of female serial killers, they just hide it better and are overlooked more than men are.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

those are some good explanations; and even if it's speculation, I could see it being close to the truth.

I was mostly responding to the poster who was asking why we should care, since I think it's important to know why certain things might affect society, and hopefully limit them, if they're bad, and vice-versa if they're good.

It wouldnt surprise me. Theres also an underlying assumption that women arent like that by nature, which has probably aided in some flying under the radar. In recent years theres certainly been a bit of a shift away from the assumption that women dont sexually abuse children which follows a similar thought process.

There are very likely just as many female psychopaths as male. But psychopaths are not wannabe serial killers.

Serial killers don't go around murdering because they are lack empathy and a moral code, they do it because the act of killing brings them sexual release. This seems much more rare in women than men.
