1. My dear Swede...

Yeah, they get them...

And they have a very exciting time...

I've known some bad boys, and they are a lot of fun to be around...

They're tough to keep up with because they have so much energy...

They get bored easily, in my experience...

It's an interesting mind set!

:hi:

2. I would prefer Quality over Quantity...

course, I am not a Guy.

[Dogtown]

3. This guy feels the same

I feel most do, that other stuff is braggadacio.

As a gender, we're more boast than toast.

:eyes:


'course, you can't tell quality without a little shopping.

:smoke:

7. Or, alternately - people with no ethics will lie, cheat, etc. for sex, and therefore get more.

So yeah... if all one wants is sex... well then there you go.

8. This "study" sounds like bullshit to me...

Guys who have the most success are
good-looking, glib and rich.

THAT is the "triad",
although any one of the "traits"
will suffice.

AND someone needs to tell "Jonason" that James Bond is a fictional character,
like HE DOESN'T EXIST....

:crazy:

"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. "The strategy seems to have worked. We still have these traits," Jonason says."

9. As an aside....

after a lifetime of observation, I would venture to say that bitchy women get the nice guys. It's kinda like the psych class in college that discussed how men like the thrill of the pursuit. If a woman is nice, that's not fun for guys. They actually prefer the women who give them attitude....blow them off....ignore them. It's more of a challenge.

So I guess that I have two choices....I can be a bitch (something I've never tried before), or I can be a notch on the belt of a bad boy. :)

10. Interesting...

I hope to see many, many self-pitying "WAAAAH! Mean girls get all the guys!" threads around here from now on. :)

11. Come over to the Dark Side Annikin

:rofl:

the dark triad

what a story

it doesn't explain well why the traits aren't more prevalent :shrug:

[Deja Q]

12. Is "Hmmm........" a euphemism for "pregnant"?

:hide:

13. Why do good girls always like

the bad boys?

14. Boring, shy and timid will leave you lonely every time.

There is quite a line between exciting and abusive; plenty of room to be one without the other. I think the term 'bad boy' really translates to exciting and unpredictable.

[redqueen]

15. And since this just got kicked...

I'll say for the record that I've never ever preferred bad boys... I have *always* gone for the shy, nice guys.

And I'm not the only woman like this... I know that a lot of women I talk to do talk up how great and fun the bad boys are... but there are others like me and we just do. not. get. the appeal. Ugh.
