Jonathan Walton:本期节目讨论了历史上著名的女性骗子Mair Smyth的案例,并采访了畅销书《自信的女人:女性骗子、诈骗犯和变形者》的作者Tori Telfer。节目探讨了女性骗子的心理画像,她们如何利用性别刻板印象,以及她们为何会犯下愚蠢的错误。Walton分享了他被Mair Smyth诈骗的经历,并详细描述了Mair Smyth的诈骗手法,包括伪装身份、利用受害者情感弱点等。他还讨论了Mair Smyth的女儿作证指控她母亲的事件,以及Mair Smyth残忍地处死她丈夫的17条格雷伊猎犬的行为。最后,Walton总结了他对Mair Smyth的评价,认为她是一个极其自私和缺乏道德感的人。 Tori Telfer:Telfer在节目中分享了她多年研究女性骗子的经验和心得。她指出,虽然男性和女性骗子的最终目标都是获取金钱或权力,但他们利用的策略和手段有所不同。男性骗子通常会伪装成医生、律师或其他高社会地位的职业人士,而女性骗子则更倾向于利用性别刻板印象,例如扮演受伤的母亲、悲伤的寡妇或算命先生等角色,以博取受害者的同情和信任。Telfer还分析了女性骗子的心理特征,认为她们通常具有极强的社交能力、自信和操控欲,同时又缺乏同理心和道德感。她认为,许多女性骗子从小就表现出反社会倾向,这可能是她们犯罪行为的根源。Telfer还强调了骗子的讨喜程度是其最重要的工具,只有让人喜欢才能更容易实施诈骗。她还指出,许多骗子虽然聪明,但常常因为过于自信而犯下愚蠢的错误,最终导致被捕。
