If anyone has any feedback, feel free to email or write back!! This board is great but i haven't seen too much on Male Histrionics.
this is from the great article available at toad.net on histrionic pd. the whole article is actually posted at the top of the forum at the first announcement...here is the section about the differences between men and women with hpd. but, i would say most women with hpd are bisexual too, at least the three i knew (two platonic, one more than...) claimed to be...
Males with HPD usually present with identity diffusion, disturbed relationships, and lack of impulse control. They are often promiscuous and bisexual. They have antisocial tendencies and are inclined to exploit physical symptoms. These men are emotionally immature, dramatic, and shallow (Kernberg, 1992, p. 59). Both men and women with HPD engage in disinhibited behavior. This is apparent in females with HPD through affective lability, manipulativeness, and intense, brief relationships. In men with HPD, disinhibition may be expressed through impulsivity, aggressive behavior, drug abuse, interpersonal exploitation, and numerous shallow sexual relationships (Frances, et. al., 1995, p. 373). If the aggressive, impulsive, and exploitative behavior become dominant in men with HPD, differentiation from the antisocial personality disorder can become problematic. There are questions raised in the literature as to whether or not HPD is a female variant of APD in men. However, as currently described in the DSM-IV™, the two are differentiated by the need to please and inclination to seek reassurance found in men or women with HPD and the more calculating and indifferent determination to exploit others found in APD. Also, a diagnosis of HPD does not require adolescent correlates of antisocial behavior as does the diagnosis of APD.

Male HPD/NPD right here. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions/curiousities. I am somewhat freindly/recovered though, but if you are looking for a genuine heartless HPD I can happily slip back into character
