Public Opinion Agrees Women Are Attracted to Jerks

SodaHead Infographics 2012/05/29 16:44:00
There's a saying that many of you are probably familiar with: Nice guys finish last. It's a sad statement if it's true, but not everyone believes it. However, a recent study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology suggests that the converse is actually biologically sound -- women are sometimes more attracted to schmucks. We took that finding to the public, and asked if it was true. Are women really more attracted to jerks? Let's dive.

    I think most women are in denial of their jerk fetish. I know women who date TOTAL jerks and insist they "aren't that bad". No, dear... you're dating a douchebag.

    Of course women love jerks. For a few reasons but the main one is women are addicted to being victims.What better way to prove to everyone what a victim you are than be victimized by a jerk? Its the feminist philosophy to be a victim.



    Self fulfilling prophecy, law of attraction whatever you want to call it. A woman cannot be be victimized by a nice guy. Being with a nice guy would lead to whole lot of other problems as well, like being responsible for herself and not being a victim.

    First of all, I'm not attracted to jerks. I know a jerk when I see one. I'm single, don't have a bf so I rather wait to find the "right guy" but not to wait for the "jerk"

    i think that women are attracted to jerks at first meeting cuz theyre cool and fun to hang with as friends but when it comes to a relationship you want someone who isnt such a jerk and will have your back. im bestfriends with a ton of jerk guys but i dont picture me dating any of them cuz theyre too rude

    Girls may pick them until you actually date one (or a few) and i think a lot of women out grow it. Marry a jerk and your screwed. Marry a nice guy and he's screwed.

    staying single is better then looking for a girlfriend. it is cheaper and less fighting or argueing.I have given up on that crap my conclusion is females like being treated bad.

    I just ignore them now days they like demoncrats let them suffer for their idiotic waysd they deserbe it.

    There are a few of us that legitimately like nice guys. If a guy is mean or a jerk I don't see what the appeal is. You don't have to be treated like a "princess" just nicely.

    I do agree being single is better in most respects but you don't need to get all elitist here guys have their faults just as much as girls do.

    I think it depends on what ones perception of being in a relationship is, and what is most important when it comes to defining your commitment to love someone

    I just know that I am definitely NOT! When someone is being a jerk I dump him as fast as humanly possible. Women who are in a relationship with a jerk annoy me though. They constantly keep on saying "Oh, all men are like this or that..." And when you try to reason with them that your guy isn't like that they try finding a way to prove it to you - with my guy they mostly miserably fail. It's not my problem if you choose the wrong ones so SHUT THE HELL UP!

    most women and girls make perfect sense they want to be abused or treated bad so they can possibly get some money with a divorce.

    Of 49 percent of the women only 25% were telling the truth. When I used to hang out with my girlfriends they always described their ideal guy is the nice, romantic, caring type but every single time they came across one it was the ole, "I like you more like my brother" line. They always went for the jerk.



    In our group there was two guys. The one that always got laid and the eternal virgin who wanted to. One day the virgin was bummed out cus he couldn't hook up and saw the other guy deciding between two girls. So the guy told the virgin... "You know why you are never gonna get any, cus you are the nice guy. If you want a chick to put out, treat her like SH@%" It worked for him. My female friends would get angry when I told them about this guy and what he said and would tell me he was so full of it. Strangely a couple of them hooked up with him and one even cried telling him she loved him as he laughed at her.



    Right now I have someone very close to me who is always posting about her desires for a romantic guy, someone who will truly love her and treat her good. Who is the guy she is actually crying to return to? The guy who she caught cheating and treated her like trash.



    I think there is a small percentage of women who would like to be with a nice guy but the majority like the "jerk" even if they wont admit it.

    as little girls alot of us wish to find "their one true love" or their "knight in shining armour" but these are based on many factors including, our parents (moreso mothers) and how their perceptions can rub off onto how we look at men eg; if your parents have been together for a long time but sometimes the husaband treats the mom badly but she stays because it isnt that bad or rarely happens and overall they seem very happy, then our perceptions of a happy relationship is warped and we believe that although our partner might be a douche, rude or offensive to us that it isnt so bad or it dosent happen often, so immediately we have just replayed an event from our parents. i think also too that some women still believe in the old saying that love concurs all and yet reality sometimes takes a big bite and they end up a statistic- women picking jerks as boyfriends.
