Asshole

Categories: Theories

An '''asshole''' is a [[selfish replicator]], or [[bully]]. He scores high in [[dark triad|dark character traits]], in particular he has low [[empathy]] and tends to be a fast [[life history]] strategist. His efforts to have sexual intimacy with [[women]] depend on him aggressively exploiting an evolutionary desire of women, while pushing other [[men]] less [[Beauty|attractive]] than him down in the process.

The opposite of the asshole is the [[nice guy]], who is more of a slow life history strategist. Assholedom has become acknowledged and accepted in [[dating]] through [[PUA]] dating advice becoming generally mainstream. A top goal of the asshole is status. He is often high status because he is good looking.

Scientists have suggested the female equivalent of an asshole is a [[borderline personality disorder|borderline chick]].<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3323706/</ref>
==Incels on Being a "Bad Boy"==
Incels don't argue with [[TRP]] and [[PUA|pick up artists]] so much that being a bad boy or '''asshole''' helps 'get' women. But incels argue that having the permission to act like an asshole around women requires that the person already have enough [[LMS|looks, money, and status]]. If one acts like a bad boy around women while ugly or low status, that person will often not have a good time... It is for this reason a lot of incels grow up with very 'sweet' or 'nice' personalities, so that they don't get negative attention from women who evaluate them as low [[LMS]].
==Women choose bullies disproportionately==
[[File:582.jpg|thumb|right|<center></center>‎]]
In school, a relatively small amount of men do most of the [[bullying]] and receive most of the sexual attention from women interested in sex. Women prefer [[bullying]] men to men who are bullied, sexually, and bullies have more sexual partners than the bullied.<ref>http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/brock-bullies-sex-1.4487053 [[https://archive.fo/ZGvcF Archive.fo]]</ref><ref>https://rd.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs40806-017-0126-4</ref><ref>https://www.deccanchronicle.com/lifestyle/sex-and-relationship/161217/dominance-may-make-bullies-more-attractive-leading-to-more-sex-study.html</ref><ref>https://scottbarrykaufman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/The-Dark-Triad-Personality.pdf</ref><ref>https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/head-games/201310/why-do-women-fall-bad-boys [[https://archive.fo/e6p19 Archive.fo]]</ref><ref>https://www.timesofisrael.com/women-really-dont-go-for-nice-guys-study-indicates/</ref>

Researchers, led by Daniel Provenzano from the University of Windsor in Canada, found that [[bullying]] probably evolved as a behavior for men to show their strength and assert dominance, while signaling to women that they are good prospective mates who will provide for their needs and offspring. Professionals dealing with young adults need to recognize the role of sexual motivation in bullying, suggests Provenzano.<ref>https://www.springer.com/psychology/personality+&+social+psychology/journal/40806</ref>

An article describing two studies conducted by Volk ''et al.'' (2015) concluded that "taken together, results from the present study offer mixed, but generally positive, support for our hypothesis that bullying is an evolutionarily adaptive behavior" and noted that "The links between bullying and dating/sexual outcomes are (for the most part) not simply a function of common variance with attractiveness and age or sex, although those variables do play a role in dating and sexual behavior" therefore bullying increased adolescent males mating success independent of other factors like looks, social desirability, etc. The authors advised that "In the meantime, bullying research and interventions should be increasingly cognizant of the fact that bullying may indeed be, at least in part, due to evolved mental adaptations that predispose some individuals to harm others to obtain personal goals. These goals may go beyond social dominance and extend specifically toward obtaining sexual partners."<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1474704915613909</ref>

Another study by Dane ''et al.''(2017) found that "higher Extraversion and higher bullying perpetration significantly predicted having had sex" (among the adolescent participants in the study, albeit relying on self-reported data) and '''"number of sexual partners was significantly positively correlated with bullying''' ... in both samples" (correlation of r=.34 with bullying and number of sexual partners among older adolescents).<ref>https://www.researchgate.net/publication/321812090_Do_Bullies_Have_More_Sex_The_Role_of_Personality</ref>

Thus it seems apparent that a tendency towards bullying is seen as an attractive trait by a significant number of women(at least adolescent girls), and this may even be independent of the traits such a tendency displays (i.e 'dark triad' traits, higher level of social dominance.)
==Women fantasize about criminals a lot==
Women have a greater preference for stories of true crime than men. To evaluate the degree of this preference, researchers analyzed gender proportions of reviews on Amazon for different genres including true crime and war. They found 70% of true crime reviewers were female, while 82% of war reviewers were male, despite an overall relatively even distribution of male and female reviewers on the site in general.<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1948550609355486</ref>

They suggested that the primary reasons women might be interested in these books is for "survival tips" to avoid becoming victims themselves. Associations were found which may suggest this is in part a motivation, but these were very weak. Women's responses on evaluation of how much their reading was for "safety" were not very different from men's, and were greatly inadequate to explain the dramatic gender difference in preference for this material. 

They did not attempt to evaluate to what extent female preference for these types of stories relate to other evidence such as that women are more attracted to sociopathic men, men with criminal histories have more consensual female partners, male serial killers are often inundated with female love letters (hybristophilia), women have a disproportionate preference for pornography featuring violence against women, and that most women admit to harboring "rape fantasies".

==Women choose psychopaths disproportionately==
<b>39% of hospitalized male psychopaths had consensual sex with female mental health staff</b>
----
Carl B. Gacono, PhD ''et al''. (1995) published a small study for the The Bulletin of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law comparing "select behavior indices between hospitalized insanity acquittees (N = 18) and hospitalized insanity acquittees who successfully malingered (N =18)". The study authors called the malingerers 'severe psychopaths'.<ref>https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/9c55/a8cae3c8a5d238002a261fec643f767d1126.pdf
</ref><ref>https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/vio.2015.0036 (Case studies recording several similar incidents written by Matthew H. Logan PhD a 'correctional psychologist working in the prison system'.)</ref>

They found that these severe psychopaths were so likely to have consensual sexual relations with female staff, that in fact 39% had such consensual relations with female mental health staff when this was properly evaluated.

==Women are particularly attracted to antisociability==
A study conducted in the United Kingdom on behalf of the Society for Research in Child Development by Sara R. Jaffee ''et al.'' (2003) using 'data from an epidemiological sample of 1,116 5-year-old twin pairs and their parents', remarked the following: "Second, despite the fact that fathers who engage in high levels of antisocial behavior make up a small proportion of fathers overall, they are responsible for a disproportionate number of births. For example, Moffitt and colleagues (2002) found that '''although men who engaged in high levels of antisocial behavior constituted only 10% of a birth cohort, they accounted for 27% of the babies fathered by the time the men were age 26'''".<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12625439</ref><ref>https://www.nber.org/papers/w12019</ref>
==Women are particularly attracted to gang members==
Another study by Palmer and Tilley (1995) for The Journal of Sex Research examining the possible evolutionary psychological motives prompting young men to join street gangs revealed that "shows that the gang members in the study reported a significantly greater average number of sex partners during the last 30 days than the non-gang members reported for the same period (M, of 1.67 to 1.22, respectively)" and that "the two greatest total numbers of partners reported in our study were by two gang leaders, who reported 11 and 10 partners, respectively." The studies authors concluded that compared to prior study conducted by Laumann et al.'s examing men in the United States sexual habits; '''"many gang members in our study had as many, or more, sex partners in one month than the average male in Laumann et al.'s study had in one year.'''"<ref>https://www.researchgate.net/publication/233368360_Sexual_access_to_females_as_a_motivation_for_joining_gangs_An_evolutionary_approach
</ref>

Note all of this is despite some evidence that unattractive individuals are disproportionately drawn to a life of crime (https://www.nber.org/papers/w12019) , and ''vice versa'' for attractive individuals.

This author and the incel wiki provides this information solely for evidentiary purposes as regards to the mate selection procedure of female ''H.Sapiens'', we do not encourage incels to "[[Thugmaxxing|thugmaxx]]" (i.e commit violent crimes) in an attempt to ameliorate their sexual situation.

==Women are particularly attracted to the Dark Triad==
{{main_article|[[Dark triad]]}}
The [[dark triad]] is defined as: '''Narcissism''', '''Manipulativeness''', & '''Psychopathy'''. The "Dirty Dozen" is a scoring tool for quickly quantifying the Dark Triad:
# I tend to manipulate others to get my way.
# I tend to lack remorse.
# I tend to want others to admire me.
# I tend to be unconcerned with the morality of my actions.
# I have used deceit or lied to get my way.
# I tend to be callous or insensitive.
# I have used flattery to get my way.
# I tend to seek prestige or status.
# I tend to be cynical.
# I tend to exploit others toward my own end.
# I tend to expect special favors from others.
# I want others to pay attention to me.
Women were presented with male characters of varying degrees of Dark Triad personality. Physicality was held constant. Men with Dark Triad traits were dramatically more attractive to women compared to control characters who lacked these traits (with 99.9% statistical certainty). Furthermore, the attractiveness of these Dark Traits was not explained by other characteristics like extroversion.<ref>Cartera GL, Campbell AC, Muncer S. The Dark Triad personality: Attractiveness to women. Personality and Individual Differences. Volume 56, January 2014, Pages 57-61. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0191886913012245</ref><ref>https://www.researchgate.net/publication/273809664_The_Dark_Triad_personality_Attractiveness_to_women</ref>

Thus it seems apparent that while personality does matter to women, it does not matter in the ways they claim. Contrary to popular claims that women want a "nice, caring guy," in actual fact, they are most sexually attracted and aroused by narcissistic, manipulative, and psychopathic men.

This likely has a basis in evolutionary biology, as Dark Triad traits may have helped provide a competitive edge to men in difficult times, for example, by allowing a man to kill others for resources.

Several mainstream academic, peer-reviewed studies have confirmed that women are particularly sexually attracted to men who exhibit [[dark triad]] traits, likely because of women's [[hypergamy|hypergamous]] nature.<ref> Jonason P.
