Well, I guess it’s time to stop being so damn nice!

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.

The traits are the self-obsession of narcissism; the impulsive, thrill-seeking and callous behaviour 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.

But being just slightly evil could have an upside: a prolific sex life, says Peter Jonason at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces. “We have some evidence that the three traits are really the same thing and may represent a successful evolutionary strategy.”
[…]
James Bond epitomises this set of traits, Jonason says. “He’s clearly disagreeable, very extroverted and likes trying new things – killing people, new women.” Just as Bond seduces woman after woman, people with dark triad traits may be more successful with a quantity-style or shotgun approach to reproduction, even if they don’t stick around for parenting.

    Yeah, but Bad Boys get all kinds of VD more than the meek !!! Wasn’t so bad as long as Penicillin worked, but now there are Anti-Biotic Resistant strains of VD and of course AIDS to put a damper on makin’ whoopee !!! So play safe, and keep the address of the Free Clinic handy !!!

    If that’s what women want, they must not be civilized. Or, our primitive animal instincts are just too strong.

  4. B. Dog says:

    I figured James Bond got women because of his cool gadgets.

    Thus concludes this episode of “WELL FUCKING DUH” theater.

    Tune in next week for the next episode: “Guess what color the sky is!”

    As one of the “good guys” in my youth, I can tell you that this is so true.

    But, there is a smaller but very enthusiastic group of women who are really turned on a pious church-going guy.

    Where’s the how-to video?
    Or do I need to watch the Cult Leader one again?

  9. Jeff says:

    It’s probably a bit sadistic. Having a bad boy probably gives them a little bit of a rush. Then, no matter how bad… most women can break them in bed in a matter of minutes. From there they can go on to their next conquest.

    Wait…. never-mind… this is just faded memories of some really bad porn, or was it that Women’s Studies class I took in college.

    #6 So true, so true! In an office full of sex-starved guys in their 40’s and 50’s, being the only one who stands out as being polite and gentle sometimes pays out!

    As someone who has three older sisters with as much potential as Hillary Clinto to achieve anything I can just say one thing: ALL of them botched their future because they got knocked up by a-holes.
