Dark triads: the bad boys who get the girls
Bad boys really do get the girls, according to new research.
This week's New Scientist says two studies in the US have found that men with antisocial personality traits are more likely to have a prolific sex life.
The so-called 'dark triad' traits include impulsiveness, narcissism, thrill-seeking and deceitfulness, it said.
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 United States, told the 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.

That makes sense:

if you have no morals or compassion, you can tell a girl exactly what she wants to hear.

And being a badass is sexy to women. They dig jerks, it's a known fact. Though they insist they don't, it can be mathematically proven on an Etch-a-Sketch(tm).

[Buster Friendly]

ah, scientific evidence to prove what we were saying about douchebags.


I do know guys like this, but they are not badasses. they are all fucking pussies, shit even I could kick their asses.

(EDIT: all the ones I know, that is. being a sociopath doesn't make you tough.)

If you look at the traits they are describing it is hardly a surprise.

Impulsiveness- They act without a lot of forethought. If you sit at the bar thinking for ten minutes if you are going to approach a girl, the impulsive guy already has.

Narcissism- While in the long run narcissism looks annoying, in the short run it looks like confidence.

Thrill seeking and deceitfulness - Means they are always trying and doing whatever it takes. Again, in the short term really handy.Like the old joke, ask ten women a day to fuck you. You will get slapped 9 times and fuck one woman a day.

I suspect if they examined women they would see a similar correlation.

[Morning Glory]

You had me at hello.

[Head Wreck]

You will get slapped 9 times and fuck one woman a day.

i knew someone exactly like that.

One of the advantages for a woman dating a jerk is that she gets to be blameless. We still, as a society, have the notion that nice girls only "give it up" in a meaningful setting. If a guy is an obvious jerk, a girl can get off with him sexually and then, when the guy wanders off (because, as was already known, he is a jerk) the woman can be blameless for having sexual interaction without a relationship because the guy was the one who pumped and dumped.

[Joel Awesome]

You can indulge in the "Dark Triad" (soooo spooooooOOOOky) without being a complete dick and still have people like you as long as you leave out the lying.
I'm pretty sure that's what works for me (that and my so-dazzling-it-leaves-you-blinded personality and gargantuan brain power that crushes worlds!).

[DoctorZ]

Don't forget that ego that's the size of Old Russia.

[mystoo]

Anti social-yes
Impulsive-yes
Narcissistic-yes
Thrill seeking-yes
Deceitful-occasionally

But...I'm a girl. Whaddya think that means?

It's just the hotness. Girls just tell you they care about your personality and intelligence.

[DoctorZ]

That you're normal.

AIYEEE!! Normal, it buuuuuurnses us!

[Amelia G]

Hey, shouldn't impulsiveness, narcissism, thrill-seeking and deceitfulness be a "dark quartet not triad?

[Head Wreck]

do they have cellos

i love cello music

[OrganizedKhaos]

It's just the hotness. Girls just tell you they care about your personality and intelligence.

I love your wit.

[Bacchus88]

Well proves the old saying Nice guy finish last....

Last again damnit.....lol

[Bikerpunk]

Joel: the fact that you're sinfully hot trumps everything.

[Vaughn]

"the woman can be blameless for having sexual interaction without a relationship because the guy was the one who pumped and dumped."

This is why I love you...all that class.
Heh heh...

[Bikerpunk]

I have a ton of class.

All of it is low.

[helcyon]

Anti social-yes
Impulsive-yes
Narcissistic-yes
Thrill seeking-yes

It means that you are probably a risky, hurtful mistake with a harsh personality that I know in advance would probably suck me dry, chew me up and spit me out in less than 24 hours. It means I am desperate to have sex with you.

Took the words right outta my mouth. I'd say more, but Joel asked me nicely to shut up.

[Mr Karl]

who the hell is paying for these studies that study the obvious?

[Syrran]

I'm only narricistic about things I know I'm amazing at...which is everything. >_>



...yeah right....

[Syrran]

The nice guy nerds...had to figure out if it was really true and then imitate.

So, not only are women attracted to jerky men, but men are also attracted to jerky women? Hmmm... And for the record, I'm not really a jerk. I like to have random sex, no strings attached and I never pretend to be in it for anything other than sex. I'm not one for 'relationships'. I need to have freedom. I doubt total freedom and love can co-exist in any relationship or marriage type situation. Or maybe I just haven't found the right person. Meh..

[DoctorZ]

Good, a girl after my own heart.

Random sex is awesome.

That's something new for me. Never tought of it that way.
