There’s a tricky evolutionary advantage to certain levels of deceit. You tell people what they want to hear well enough, and they’ll put you in charge. Do a slightly less apt job, and maybe they’ll just let you sleep with them. Then for some insane reason, if you do a REALLY bad job at it and walk around angry, you get bad-boy/girl points and people fall all over you to get in / stay in abusive relationships with you.
