He is probably referring to the pick-up artist/alpha male/"game" community. Googling any combination of those terms should show you more. Calling that psycopathy, at least in the pop-science sense, well it's perhaps a bit strong but not completely unreasonable.

The end goal is control and affectless dominance so much less harmless, even if the reality is a bunch of sad creepers in fedoras.
