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 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]] becoming generally mainstream, accepted dating advice. A top goal of the asshole is status. He is often high status because he is good looking.

==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]].

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>

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 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>

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>

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."

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.
