Its official; Women like idiots

NICE guys knew it, now two studies have confirmed it: bad boys get the most girls. The finding may help explain why a nasty suite of antisocial personality traits known as the "dark triad" persists in the human population, despite their potentially grave cultural costs.New Scientist

Yea, I too have been personally trying to figure out why nice guys such as myself finish last. Appearently, this study pretty much solves the problem for me.

Dude, it's the same over the world. All hot chicks go for the douchebags. It's the way of life, really.whos_next000

are you sure because I'm a douche bag, and I almost never get hot chicks

The men aren't entirely blameless though, I mean they are the ones with the bad traits. Women shouldnt be rewarding them though.

I think its just stupid people breeding with stupid people TBH.

I've never understood the appeal of the "bad boy."

I like nice, smart, nerdy boys...but that's just me.

Agreed. If this is where babies are comming from mostly then the future is screwed......

Everyone is a douchebag. Everyone is, are, and can be jerks. It is the ones who assert themselves and the ones who have confidence (even too much of it) who gets the prize.

Lets face it- most women are insecure and emotional - why would they want the same for a partner?

Who the hell says opposites attract? And what if a woman is confident and whatever the hell the proper antonym of insecure is?

Either way she wont go for a guy who lacks self confidence and hates on himself all the time. She would never go for a guy who has no backbone. She would never go for a guy who she sees will never stand up for her... why would she if they cant stand up for themself, cant love themself, cant believe in themself.

If a woman wanted to have a baby to take care of - she wouldnt do it with a man who acted like one.

I love the fact that you can synchronize the menstrual cycles of women you are close to by using pheromone sprays.

It works wonders if you play the field as you can schedule them into YOUR busy lifestyle, not theirs- what power!!

Calling a girl ugly has nothing to do with testicles....at all.

Ask a girl if they like being called ugly to their face, it doesn't work like that.

Yes I have... lets see - Cloud gets all emo and gets more emo after Aeris dies and totally ignores everything that Tifa does for him until the end - guess who he ended up with?

He would have ended up with Aeris if he wasn't insane. He could still get a girl. That was a date.

No thanks to your help... on my game I dated Tifa. Heck you could have dated Barrett. BTW - practically all of FF male leads are emo or get emo - probably to relate to its audience. We're talking about real life here.

Holy crap, he spoiled an 11 year old game, burn him.

I do find a lot of idiots going out with girls but I never seen the "relationship" last.Tjeremiah1988

Thats part of the point, they are more reproductively successful because they have numerous short relationships.

One of the studies, a survey of 35,000 people in 57 countries, found a clear link between dark triad traits and the reproductive success of males. "It is universal across cultures for high dark triad scorers to be more active in short-term mating,'' David Schmitt, of Bradley University in the US, told New Scientist. "They are more likely to try and poach other people's partners for a brief affair.''

Another study found that males who scored higher in the dark triad personality traits had a greater number of partners and a desire for short relationships."

Holy crap, he spoiled an 11 year old game, burn him. WildLIkeChild

I don't understand, what is the point of this study? Did they take into account that probably 80%+ of the time these DBs are getting the girls because they're actually chasing them?-Twilight-

Yep. A lot of studies can be easily debunked - its just a study. They exaggerate and manipulate samples and percentages. I had a whole class devoted to that. It was a great eye opener.

[QUOTE="WildLIkeChild"]Holy crap, he spoiled an 11 year old game, burn him. MissRiotmaker

Not when a game is that old.

Sorry I don't pour over every aspect of GS, I have better things to do. And honestly, the only people who don't know that Aeris dies won't care if they find out.

What about us confident nice guys who finish last? I myself am very confident and always make a dick of myself in class ect and have no qualms (sp?) about going up and chatting to a girl. Why do we finish last? If, as you say it's all about confidence.

Albeit I might sound hypercritical since I do have a girlfriend, but alot of my friends who have similar outlooks as me don't. They treat girls well are confident and I constantly see them put down against a guy who a month down the line and has the girl in tears after cheating on her.

Well this study doesn't suggest anything about the psychology of women guys.

It reports that guys with "dark triad" (douchevag) traits are more underhanded and ruthless in bagging chicks, and they only go for short-term affairs, hence more partners.

And perhpas they get more sex because that's their sole objective: sex. They're not looking for a relationship so they're not trying to prove to chicks they're interested in more than sex.

It doesn't say "women go for bad guys because they're dumb".

Do the girls they ask out find them attractive? Lets face it - all this talking about jerks, confidence, etc goes null if the attraction isnt there - one can work for it to happen - but if its not there its just not there.

Lets face it - They're just not into you.

Exactly. I consider myself a decent looking guy, and being respectful is something I'm proud of. Yet I'm always the one who gets the "let's just be friends" excuse.
