And then there is the other guy, the complete *******, with no regard to womens feelings, yet he seems to score all the time. Go figure......
Ah, yes, the "jerk"...
His actions come from a combination of his personality type and personal
issues - there is something unsettled within him that slants his view of women... Because he is not comfortable with himself, he sees doing something for the girl only as supplication... He goes out of his way to offend the girl... Likes the idea of her thinking ill of him (as he knows it won't turn her away)... He will go out of his way to say/do things that will make her feel ill of him... He sees what he wants, and takes is - regardless of others' feelings... He does not respect her. Full Stop!...
There are certain traits of this guy that are actually good - if you come from the correct mindest!
BUT, is the "jerk" totally to blame for any anguish or upset that he causes women?...
Women are emotional creatures. They love the
ups and downs, or
drama if you will, that everyday life gives them (regardless of how much they deny it!!). The attraction to the "jerk" comes both from the need to feed her emotions and the traits that a women sees desirable in man - on a
primal level (read: mostly under her conscious level of awareness).
The "jerk" is more attractive
because the "nice" guy is not. There are too many "nice" guys around - and in general, the prettier the girl, the more guys are
nice to her. The nice guy does not stimulate the girls emotions in any way. He is generally emotionless and passive and does not elicit any emotions from her when he is with her. Remember, girls
need their emotions fed - and this is where the jerk comes in.
A girl would rather feel negative emotions than no emotions at all. The jerk will give her a rollercoaster of emotions. The jerk is generally not a jerk the whole time - he will be sporadic with giving the girl time and attention (because he has learned that doing this will incline her to stay). However much the girl complains about him, she prefers him over the nice guy - if she preferred the nice guy,
she would be with the nice guy!!
Women are
programmed to be attracted to men who are confident, assertive, decisive, etc in much the same way men are attracted to women that are shapely, large-breasted, slim, etc. The evolutionary reasoning behind this is too much to go into here. However, knowing this, we can see why women are attracted to the jerk. The jerk displays the behaviours and traits that women are naturally attracted to. It's programmed into her DNA to be attracted to the jerk.
