N2  - The Dark Triad (narcissism, psychopathy, machiavellianism) was shown to be related to preference for short-term relationships and "game playing" and "cerebral" love styles (e.g., Campbell, Foster, 2002; Li, Kenrick, 2006; Jonason et al., 2009, 2010). The aims of our study was to examine (1) the relation between the Dark Triad, four mating strategies and attitudes towards ideal partner; (2) gender differences in the relation of the Dark Triad and adoption of particular love style; (3) mediating role of personality traits in this relation. The sample consisted of 150 students, males and females. <br><br>METHODS included self-report questionnaires. The results supported association between the Dark triad and two mating strategies - "game playing" (positive) and "romantic" (negative). There is no reliable evidence for sex differences. Mediating role of personality was not supported.<p />
