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://archive.is/ZGvcF</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>http://archive.is/e6p19</ref><ref>https://www.timesofisrael.com/women-really-dont-go-for-nice-guys-study-indicates/</ref> | 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.

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> | 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.

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> | An article describing two studies conducted by Volk ''et al.''
