Studies Confirm That Bad Boys Get More Girls

seattlle foodie sends along a New Scientist article outlining two recent studies that confirm what many have long suspected: 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. The traits are: the self-obsession of narcissism; the impulsive, thrill-seeking, and callous behavior of psychopaths; and the deceitful and exploitative nature of Machiavellianism. At their extreme, these traits would be highly detrimental for life in traditional human societies. People with these personalities risk being shunned by others and shut out of relationships, leaving them without a mate, hungry and vulnerable to predators."

    Your comments, and those of several others, reminds me of this old joke;
     
    A newly married couple is their hotel room undressing on their wedding night. The man tosses his pants to his wife, and says "put these on". She replies "I can't fit in those!". He answers "that's right, remember who wears the pants in this family!".
     
    She ponders a bit and then hand him her panties and asks him to put them on. "I can't get into these!" he exclaimed.
     
    "That's right, and you aren't going to until your attitude improves."

     
    Your problem with women is that you're a jackass, not that there is something wrong with Western women. You just happened to find an Asian woman willing to put up with you and your biases and stereotypes before you found a Western one.
