Evolution Favors Bad Boys Over Nice Guys
Nice guys finish last because women love bad boys. Thanks, evolution.
Our buddies at Asylum say that women like their men like their coffee: dark. More accurately, a study shows that college dudes with the "dark triad" of personality traits (treacherous, lying and death-defying) sleep with more chicks. Classic bad boys vs nice guys issue here, and true to the saying, the nice guys finish last.
Evidently, evolution favors the kind of guy who would slime his way into your loincloth, "finish" quickly and swing out of the cave on a vine. That guy has an opportunity to spread his seeds far and wide. Evidently, that's why there are so many jerkwads and ass-hats walking around today.
It's easy to see why tough-cookies, jag-offs and lying liars who always lie do well with ladies and therefore spawn more progeny. I'll break it down:
Untruthiness: Lying to a girl about intentions, income level and being BFF with Ashton Kutcher is a really good way to get to the sexing.
Cocky of the walky: For the most part, we're programmed to believe that when a guy is into himself, it's for a good reason until proved otherwise. Confidence, per that guy from the Old Spice commercial, is pretty sexy.
Let's get dangerous: Evidently, there's some link between the chemicals involved in danger and the chemicals of attraction. Part of the reason ladies like a man in uniform. Plus guys into extreme sports, fighting and motorcycle-ery, generally have abs that are not unpleasant to the eye, hand, mouth, stomach, lower back and soles of feet (if you're nasty).
But this isn't totally your fault, ladies. For the most part, us dudes like Tucker Max (who claims he doesn't lie) even if we don't wholesale agree with his modus operandi. That is to say, if these dudes weren't attractive to men as well, they probably wouldn't have made it to 2010 in such numbers. Is there a solution to dirt bags inheriting the Earth? Maybe jerks should be a little nicer. Maybe ladies should become more attracted to real sweet guys. Maybe us pansies should stop being such a bunch of pansies.
That's pretty unrealistic; it looks like dickwads may outlive humanity. Oh well, better luck next species. Or just maybe, these college students who admit to having deceitful personalities may be lying about how many babes they've bedded. Ranked: John Mayer's Douchiest Comments
There's a speech from Team America: World Police that we should play here but it's more or less too crass for this setting.
Women love the impression of power in a male, this is the reason the attraction for "bad boys" is so strong. Unfortunately, us women still think that we can "change" a man, we can't. I feel sorry for single mothers that breed with these evil men. Children don't gain wedding vows. So many women breed with unworthy partners, then go in search of decent men to help them raise what the jerk left behind.
Hey, birth control may help evolution along a little here.
The way I figure it, the nice guys have always gotten the mates. They actually raise more kids because they stick around to take care of them. Also, they have more chances to have sex with the females who don't want to end up stuck with a baby and no mate.
The bad guys sneak in and have a few kids here and there with females who have mates. The bad guys don't actually leave behind as many kids, just enough to stay in the gene pool.
But now, with birth control, the females can have fun with the bad guys and not make babies. Maybe their genes will die out at last.
