I think when we discuss psychopaths we just focus on the "evil" aspects of them. The question we need to ask is why do people love psychopaths? I think the traits discussed in this video may offer an explanation:

Yes, psychopaths can be bad news for either an individual or a society, but their main power is to seduce (mind, body and/or spirit) and that is their defense mechanism. So what defense mechanisms can the average person employ not to fall for them?

I concur.

Sandra L. Brown deals for example with your question in Women who love psychopath and is also recommended for men.

Have a look in this topic for example:
