Why NICE GUYS finish LAST, or: why women love jerks

  • This episode builds on the conclusions of my previous episode, "Women want it all." Today I'll be tackling the age-old complaint of all also-rans: nice guys finish last. The flip side of this is the analogous complaint that women love jerks. However, it only looks like women choose jerks from the perspective of nice guys. The fact of the matter is that this isn't entirely true, and I'll explain why using the results of psychological research. And since men typically understand business better than they understand women, I'll use a professional framework to illustrate my points.

    Step 1: SAY you want nice guys.
    Step 2: GO for bad boys.
    Step 3: ASK where have all the good ones have gone.
    Step 4: BLAME men.

      Problem these days is by 'good men' they mean men who are wealthy AND tall AND good looking AND successful etc. You have the majority of women fighting for the 1% of men and the years drift by as they still look for that man. So a woman in the 50th percentile believes she deserves a man in the 1st percentile. Same in dating sites where 4% of men get all the action.
      I know a 40 year old woman, very overweight, average looking, has a low paying job and lives with her mother but even she is fussy.

      On the one hand, men will begin to learn about these issues if more guys were willing to talk about their divorces, child custody battles, losing the house, etc. However most guys are too ashamed to talk about their loses (renting a tiny apartment post divorce or moving back in with their parents). However with things like the red pill, manosphere, MGTOW, etc there is a glimmer of hope that some men will learn before it is too late. Although this will take time as ultimately guys are hypnotised when they see beauty.

    The key problem is not that women (especially young/hot women) chose jerks over nice guys. The problem is that by doing so they CREATE jerks. By rewarding the toxic behavior of jerks with sex, women perpetuate toxic attitudes in those jerks and simultaneously they incentivize otherwise nice men to become jerks. And while there're lots of pro-feminist articles out there making compelling cases on why men should stop being jerks, I see very little articles by feminists asking young women to stop creating and perpetuating jerk behavior in men.

      Because that will block them the access to what benefits them in the first place.

So based upon in depth, broad experience, I would say that certain women of all ages, class, education levels and social status are simply drawn to classic bad boys.

      It's the maturity level of the women. That's why the first question that really should be asked when someone complains about the types of their attraction is: What kind of guy (or girl) are you going after?? Girls in their mid-20s and under are more prone to go with what makes them "feel" excited. When I worked at Waffle House, a co-worker (who was then in his 30s, lived with a roommate, convicted felon, didnt have a car, a bit overweight too), in my time there, had 2 different GFs, both were dropping him off and picking him up from work. Neither lasted long (he even got The Clap from one lol). Point is: If you have the right attitude of honesty and confidence, you can find success (even if ends up being short time).

I wish I had learned that when I was much younger. I sort of resigned myself to not being that attractive and basically didn't date hardly anyone as a result until I met my wife at age 26, and even then, we only ended up together because she showed obvious interest in me. I've been learning since then that attractiveness isn't just about your God-given looks, but there's many other things you can do to become more attractive.

    It's generally too late by then. Those men have been snatched up by wiser women who knew earlier on that a bad BOY can never really measure up to an honorable MAN in any way that really matters.

    A fact that, i personally feel, is often overlooked is, that it is not forcefully an either-or-choice, between nice guys and dating material in their life.
    The values nice guys can provide are just completely accessible by friendship, while s*x-relevant values like looks, health and fitness are ONLY accessible by romance.
    So if she needs good advice, she doesn't need to date the most intelligent guy, she can just befriend and call him, when advice is needed. If she wants to laugh she can just befriend the funniest guy and call him to make her laugh and so on.
    So nice guys DO offer values, but they are accessible without romancing them. But to be fair (and this is also often overlooked), it's not actually a "woman-issue". Guys choose exactly the same way. They will never romance a woman just because she's intelligent or funny, without finding her physically attractive.

    • @murkywaters5502

      The core difference here is that most men are fine with "good enough", especially when it comes to physical attractiveness. Access to s*x is more important to men than being with a woman that is objectively more physically attractive and an "all-in-one package" person (smart, funny, etc. etc.) Women are far less satisfied with "good enough", even if, for example, average genes are okay because, well, they're average and to be average those genes must have been good enough to live on for so many generations without major problems.

      It's a dirty dirty tactic to get "xyz" for free". And then when people point out you lied you pull this "you're not owed anything". Maybe, but truth is something everyone is owed and entitled. Getting things through false promises is fraud.

If I need to laugh or get advice, I don't have to *hope* he can answer the phone because he's not in the shower or napping or something. He's just right there, for a hug or conversation, for anything... including sex.

    Pretty much agree. I've got a lot of experience. I've led singles groups and really studied this stuff. I think what you're saying is true by and large but let's say the research you used might be a tad "politically correct".
    Robin Norwood in her book "women who love too much" counselled many, many women who were ending up with the "bad guy" and getting abused while friend-zoneing the good guys. They had this instinct that caused them to find a bad guy and "If I love him enough he will change". Their own parents had dysfunctional marriages and so that, for them, was "the norm".
    They were not falling in love properly. The "bad guy" was incredibly sexy to them. They could not even get aroused by a "good guy" (and I don't mean a "people-pleasing nice guy" which is something different, I mean a "normal dude" stable, dependable and all that). These relationships were "instant attraction", crazy emotion type which is not psychologically normal for women.
    She counselled them to spend time with the good guy even if they were not initially attracted so they natural system (which is to fall in love slowly, "warming up like an ovan" in the words of John Gray) could come into effect. It worked. In time these women met great men and ended up in happy families.
    The truth of what you say is because people that don't care are often good at making money and being successful. It's a lot easier to succeed in life dishonestly than honestly because you "cheat" to get further and it works. So yes, he has all the flashy stuff and the image. And he gets the girl because of the dynamics you have described.
    I have my own theory though I've never been able to prove it. Women often mistake evil for strength.

    I agree entirely. The disconnect occurs because men are gaslit into thinking niceness is actually important to women, often by women themselves.

      It's not gaslighting, it's true. The problem is, it's not ALL that matters by any means.

If you come across as TOO nice, or *trying* to be nice, the anti-serial killer genes that have kept those women alive will kick in and they'll be unnerved. So the trick is to be nice in a casual, calm, non-obsessive way that says if she wants you to keep walking, you'd be happy to. Then she knows you're not a stalker.

      Men usually think "niceness" is the more important trait because it is what "they" look for in women, and blindly think that's what women are attracted to men. In association with that most of the "nice guys" are being nice only for selfish reasons (The "Selfless for selfish reasons" saying). What they guy is doing is not being his authentic self: He is being needy and subtly manipulative. I've noticed too, a lot of "nice guys" or guys who claim "girls just want jerks, that's not me" are mega-control freaks and don't even realize it; They always want things their way, give her gifts and compliments wanting something in return, and feels "hurt" when she doesn't give what he quietly expected in return.

Also if you sell yourself for too low, people may think that your value is too low and that they deserve better than you. They will abuse you and throw you.

    For those of us that remember life before cellphones/internet in the schools, being a nice guy actually worked because women’s hypergamy was limited to whomever you allowed to enter your social sphere.
    Infinite scrolling triggers women’s hypergamy, capturing and programming them to believe that there is always something better coming up next.
    Correction; a friend corrected me recently. Apparently, I wasn’t a “nice” guy due to fact I would fight the ‘badboy’. So either by fear or respect, the ‘badboy’ would know to stay away from what was mine. This made me a ‘good dude’, which does have a niche in the dating pool.

      Well, George Gilder exposed this phenomenon in his book "Men and Marriage" back in the 1980's. He used different words, but said basically the same thing. Social spheres were large enough back then for the most attractive women to choose assholes. I was a "nice guy" loser back then. But then I read that book.

    I've heard this argument countless times and the fact for me remains the same, even though women are with assholes for what they offer and not who they are it doesn't make it any better.
    Assholes are assholes because they don't care for the wellbeing of others (hers included). And not only does she know all this but she'd also be willing to turn a blind eye (God forbid even assist in his acts of barbarity) so long as there is power and provisions in it for her.
    She's basically just exploiting the asshole to obtain provisions off him, and also because he's an asshole she likely doesn't even love him, because if she did that goes to say alot about the kind of person she is, which is likely a horrible person herself.
    So, either way, in choosing the asshole she's confirmed whether it's using him for what he gives till there's nothing left, or she actually loves him for the dreadful man he is, she herself is a dreadful person.
    I am sorry but there is no way of rationalising this down to anything acceptable, innocent, or good; not unless we're willing to turn our backs on every moral we have of not only being better kinder more loving people, but also in making the world a better, kinder more loving place to live...
    I don't want to believe it but maybe community is right, maybe women are fundamentally bad.
    The world is becoming a seriously sader place...

    • @killercd7682
      @killercd7682 Год назад

      My view is similar to this. Part of what seems to make some men attractive is precisely because they don't care about the women and only want sex, some to the degree that they've sculpted their whole personality around how to game women. And yet we're supposed to become like this? It's psychopathic. Men need to be able to be decent and have the reasonable opportunity to meet a decent woman. That's the only way life, and society can work. Otherwise we lose our own souls in the process. I think it's insane to call a decent normal guy a 'nice guy' as if he's a loser. And by the way, I only think it's possible to change within certain bounds.

    • @deadbutmoving
      @deadbutmoving Год назад

      Basically every religion, philosopher, and every wise man from every culture throughout history says that women are bad. Giving women power and allowing them to dictate society will always end up ruining everything because women are fundamentally emotional creatures. They have little to no rationality, reasoning, objectivity, planning, or morality. Women are emotional and their sense of right and wrong are entirely based on how they "feel" at the moment. When women are allowed to choose leaders and control society they create leaders and institutions that become like them: Emotionally driven, unstable, reactive, irrational, illogical, and ultimately immoral.
      This is why female led societies never could compete with male lead societies. And as the modern Western world has adopted promiscuity and allowed women to dictate society, the West will inevitably fail.

    Nice bosses are often nice because they don't have a lot of employees, the more employees they have the more distant and impersonal they will become because you're "just another employee".
    I've worked for small companies and big companies and I completely understand why a lot of men with options aren't nice. My guess is that the nice guys who have a lot to offer settle quite quickly because they don't want to be on the market too long, so the men who prefer to have a lot of partners stay on the market longer and skew perceptions.
    It's like men believing that every woman has been with hundreds of men because they and their friends have slept with several women that boast these numbers, but it's simply because these women interact with more men that more men will believe that all women are like these few women.

Even though I love my wife, I can’t say I’m UNhappy when women in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s flirt with me now.

    This was a very fresh perspective on this concept! It explains a lot to me. I am in fact a nice, intelligent, compassionate, and communicative guy... However, I am likely of average attractiveness, and am definitely an average earner. It makes sense to me that my soft-traits ARE desirable to women, but NOT without also being accompanied by those other more quantitative qualities. I also think it speaks to why women want relationships, and it is not -primarily- for emotional companionship, but more for lifestyle and security. Nice guys like me could hem-haw over that indefinitely, or, just understand it, accept it, and adapt to it to whatever degree it matters to us personally.

There was a hot woman who played volleyball with us but she had a boyfriend who was a doctor. I used a strategy that was recommended by a friend. If you want to date a hot woman, take her not so hot friend on a great date. So I asked out her friend and I took her to a concert inside a theme park.
    That really got the attention of not just one hot woman but all of the single women were now looking at me differently and I scored big time. I lost all interest in that first hottie and was dating several other women who had other attributes that I found attractive.

      Men and woman look for different things out of long-term (marriage) partners. A high-value women is looking for a man with financial resources equal or above hers, emotional depth, lifestyle opportunities (Does he provide fun and interesting things to do?), and of course, genetic compatibility markers like height, weight & race. A low-value woman or damaged woman (that you guys seem to be concerned with) all bets are off. Men don’t care about financial resources. Even if the woman makes more money than him, she will rarely share it equally in the relationship like he is expected to. Likewise, he does not expect her to plan dates, trips or vacations. He is mainly interested in genetic factors like age and most importantly (Is she hot?), Is she a good person (Does having a low body count matter? Likely). Would she make a good mother to my future offspring? Could I show her off to my friends, family and business relationships? Looks matter to both sexes, but men and women value many different “secondary” factors that will determine if a person is the “right choice” for them.

While at the same time, I know women who have or "had" the right package with a great dude, respectful guy who could provide and was a gentleman to them, and whom they left.

    The “big problem” with attracting women through babboy behaviours, is how do you initially attract the women in the first place. Being mean to a girl before she’s gotten a chance to know you hasn’t ever worked for me. I can’t remember the last time I was rude to a chick and she wanted to sleep with me because of that. This knowledge is what’s missing in the dating manosphere. As an example, dating gurus always say “ignore her and she will want you” but that simply isn’t true. There are TONS of women at my gym that I give no time or energy to, who’s general direction I almost never glance in, who I’m completely uninterested in and NOT ONE has ever shown interest in me because I was ignoring them. Now the thing is, I know theoretically how to attract a woman via ignoring her, but it would be nice to get a dating guru to thoroughly break down the process.

      You have to be attractive first to get their attention, everything else comes afterwards

      thats what we mean by saying "go to the gym" at first. BE attractive physically (body, cloth, lifestyle ...) and THEN you can apply those methods
      Not the other way around my friend

    Your closing comment about women choosing "good looking, high-earning, interesting and exciting lifestyle providers" was on point. However, hookup culture prevails for young women, frequently choosing Mr. Right Now over Mr. Right. If she's hot, she can slide into the DMs of a celebrity or athlete and be flown out for a weekend. If she's less hot, she can still get with those hot guys on Instagram or at the club, the Chads who all the girls are attracted to. Nice Guys (also called Average Frustrated Chumps) are so behind on the value spectrum that they have no chance. Attractive women are spoiled with choice and have a disqualification paradigm, categorizing men as Losers, Lovers, Providers or Friends. A Nice Guy isn't likely to pass her Loser screening, and at best qualifies for Provider Guy if he's generous with his wallet, or Friend Zone Guy if he's generous with his time and support.

      It sounds like you're implying that men don't sleep around... 🤨
      Gotta side eye that one.
      Men have been sleeping around for centuries. Is it a problem if women are doing it now? We learned it from the best.

      ​@@shellylen4582 A small percentage of men sleep around a lot. A more significant percentage of men wish they could sleep around, but aren't attractive enough to pull that off. By age 30, most women have plenty of sexual experience and most men very little. Women only compare themselves to the players, not the invisible average dudes they completely ignore.

    Very true; any guy can act nice, caring, sweet and sensitive, but it takes a more effort to obtain wealth, to gain muscles, be confident in yourself etc. Even if you don't act like a nice guy but have the positive traits women tend to want, you are going to be prioritized over someone in with the opposite attributes as you.
