A reader writes, “We’re getting close to definitive proof that (most) chicks dig jerks.” Yes, we are.
Single women had their brains scanned as they looked at photos of men. The pictures had been subtlely altered to make the men’s faces more or less masculine.
The more masculine faces won out in terms of attraction — but the areas of the brain that were activated indicated these faces were also ones the women found most threatening. [ed: ]
The group found a few interesting results. First, compared with the feminized faces, masculinized faces led to more activity in five specific brain areas: the left superior temporal gyrus, bilateral precentral gyrus, right posterior cingulate cortex, bilateral inferior parietal lobule, and bilateral anterior cingulate cortex. These areas have been implicated in face processing as well as the assessment of risk, suggesting that, consciously or not, masculinized faces are perceived as not only more attractive but also more dangerous. The effect was quite robust considering just how slightly the faces had been morphed.
Let that sink in. Brain scans prove that women are attracted to threatening men. The female hamster has just been CAT-scanned, x-rayed and magnetically resonanced, and the wicked truth behind all the feelgood claptrap and feminist boilerplate is revealed for the world to gaze upon with eyes half-shut at the gruesome sight, repulsed and yet fascinated:
Chicks dig jerks. Assholes. Douchebags. Dangerous motherfuckers.

Another clue Rihanna may be getting back together with Chris Brown … the two partied at the same club at the same time last night … AGAIN.
Chris and Rihanna were spotted at Avenue nightclub in NYC. Sources at the club tell us the two were in the club together for roughly 30 minutes … and Brown spent some time hanging out at Rihanna’s table.
I’m fond of saying the boner doesn’t lie. The same could be said of lit-up neurons; hard to fake that funk.
I predict there will be much gnashing and flapping of labia from the usual suspects (manboobs included) about this latest study to prove that chicks love the badboy. But the evidence is irrefutable and really beginning to pile up that women are hard-wired to tingle for a dark triad.
For those of you who insist — INSIST, damn you! — that they’ve never needed to be an asshole to get women, I’ve only this to ask:
When was the last time you successfully picked up a hot, young woman?
HOT
YOUNG
Get it?
If you’re married to a frump, a plain jane, a cow (and odds are, you are), a has-been… well, no wonder you don’t need to be a jerk to keep her around. She’s got no options. She’s just grateful a man is willing to stick with her.
But the chicks with options… the ones who can pick and choose from among many men… the IN-DEMAND ones… they love the dickish dick.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. I’ve never gotten more radical, more INSTANT, positive results when hitting on cute babes than when I deliberately amped up my asshole vibe. I mean, to the point of nearly insulting them. Eyes brightened and sparkled, legs uncrossed, fingertips danced all over my arms. And these were the upper class smart chicks with multiple degrees.
If you *have* to choose between being a niceguy and a total dickwad when picking up high value women…
ALWAYS err on the side of dickwad.

The study indicates women are more attracted to masculine features- what on earth does that have to do with why it’s important to act like an asshole? If anything this study disagrees with the whole notion that “looks don’t matter (as much) to women.”

Dude, get like, a t-shirt made that says “chicks dig jerkz lulz” so you don’t ever ever forget
Yeah. It’s true that ‘chicks dig jerks’ but we really need to parse that. Of course we hear stories of women desperate to be with violent assholes but that should be the impression we are giving those new to game: that one should be an abusive dig.
Chicks dig jerks (aloof, happy, energetic, non-needy) because they are content. They are self contained in the way that the ideal greek youth was but without the faginess. Your jerkishness should really only be a reflection of your self-absorption. This attracts women because you are then mirroring her and we all know that the mirror is the ideal mate for a woman.
Classic Sparkle

I’m saying a youngster visiting the blog might get the impression that Game is about being an angry asshole when it is more about being happy with your cock, i.e. being unconcerned, nonplussed, etc.
Bitter and acrimonious “negs” won’t get you anywheres with the cunts. Plus, the point of Game should be personal freedom and happiness rather that isn’t outcome dependent.
Dude, there’s an ONLINE library the size of five Alaskas that’s been around for over a decade telling “youngsters” what’s up.

It correlates with testosterone which generally works double duty. It makes a man , buff, mean and potent, which is good for rutting season.
So why can’t we have legal, potent Test supplements with zero side effects?
Oh now I remember. Sports.
Go figure if the laws were changed and anabolics came off of the controlled substance list that big pharma would be dumping the money into research to make them more easily consumed and marketed to the general male public.
Because we don’t need a bunch of assholes running around.
Just people acting like them, right?
If a hormone tells you do to something and you heed it, is it more Alpha (and thus arguably more permissible) than simply emulating and copying this behavior because you’re attempting to put on an Alpha appearance?
If game is simply the act of creating an appearance purpose-built to have sex with women and we extol this, why would we not extol doing away with the appearance and instead alter ourselves to become it entirely?
but your vaginas want it.
Test gets you high and makes you happy. Estrogen makes depressed assholes.
The elite don’t need a bunch of assholes running around. The human race, especially women do.
does, not do.
It also needs people who can use correct grammar of which I am apparently not one, at least today.
They are attracted to the features they also find most threatening.

Nice Rihanna reference.
She definitely earned some Brownie points that day
Regarding: “women attracted to masculine features”…so why is it important to act like a jerk? objection.
Assertive, self-motivated, agency in men is accepted as righteously masculine. This theory can be proven by its inverse example.
Fawning, supplicating, or plain non-offensive behavior in males is seen as repugnant by men (that’s why shy boys get bullied in school) and a complete turn off by women (that’s why shy boys are ignored by girls in school)
I finally realized all this (thanks to CH).
At a social / business event I was at I saw some guys I know playing the Nice Guy to the ladies. The old “Suzy, you and me are buddies right?” and the girls just patted the guys on the back, without so much as a rub. “yeah Joe, you’re my homeboy; now buy me a drink will ya?”
Meanwhile I was disagreeing with the girls whenever they said anything I could reasonably find fault in. I sent out the vibes that I was not impressed with the women and only moderately surprised that they were being productive etc.
Finally I pulled one guy over and said, “Nice guys don’t get laid.” He looked at me like I had spit in his beer.
“Nice Guys Don’t Get Laid”
how would that look on a bumper sticker?
“Nice Guys Don’t Get Laid”

“But the chicks with options… the ones who can pick and choose from among many men… the IN-DEMAND ones… they love the dickish dick.”
Thank you, I’m tired of these white knight bitches. You might have the girl but once she finds someone more alpha then you…Eventually….GOODBYE
Those wacky scientists and their funny scientifical studies.
Fortunately, the ‘asshole vibe’ comes pretty naturally to me.
You want to know why we need assholes?

Some asshole needs to stand up against this shit.
Oh, it’s true, society definitely needs assholes. Sometimes it takes an asshole to get something good done.
This doesn’t mean they aren’t assholes, and after they get something good done, they’ll probably continue to be assholes and eventually suffer for it. History is full of examples.
It’s all part of the balance of nature.
Fucking sweden. Fucking manboobed leftist shits. Fucking castrati femcunts.
Fucking FUCK FUCK FUCK!
Yup, guys need to stand up.
None of this sitting down on the job.
And to think that these people were once Vikings.
Game is basically teaching people to treat women the way lower class blacks treat their women, and it will (and is) have the same effect on society.
No. Game is teaching men that gynocracy should and can be resisted effectively. It is a philosophy of personal conduct however and hasn’t yet translated itself into effective political opposition to the prevailing and established order.
Hears ya, C Sparkle.
Now, next on the list…how to tingle a lesbian. In academe, at the courthouse,…
It’s my experience that only massive amounts of alcohol can warm up those frigid cunts. This is of course assuming that they are merely ideological converts and not hampered by a fucked up endocrine system. If that’s the case, there is nothing we can do except empower hot chicks at the expense of talented bull dykes.
Still, there’s a vestige of female in the wired bull. Ringing them to the hitchin’ post would be a project alright. Do-able? The switch-hitter would be easier and likely to be more attractive than her boss. I’m not the one to volunteer for such matters. But since we’re merely trading notes and info, someone may step up.
The hormonal dyke residing in the lower middle power structure resents the hated competition who scores the attractive possible converts crossing the floor. Someone’s being deprived of a sex life. That resentment may amp up the creation of more policy that besets further upon us.
With all the insights available in this site the psych leveraging of chicks for tail may eventually translate over to the main drivers of unnatural politics.
Anyway, backs to the gamezzz-zuh…

Mr. Chi-town
uh, can you remind me, what did Sweden do during World War II?
“… what did Sweden do during World War II?”
Made money while everybody else was getting killed.
Some ppl will just never get it. Keep em comin CH. Drive those nails into nice guy coffins!
If you can never leave a chick with her thinkin
” i dunno if hes gonna kiss me, spit on me or kill me”
then you’ll never know the exquisite joy of her very soul aching to be possessed by your fuck sword.
Her legs parting like the red sea for the chosen cock! hahahahaha
Be a fucking man. Dominate.
I heard a guy talking to his buddy on the metro last weekend say something like “you shouldn’t apologize for your masculinity”. A CH reader?
That’s promising. And – yes! – even in Sweden more and more guys hear about and earn game.
I hope you are blessed with nothing but daughters.

Daughters are much better genetic bargaining chips.
Exception to the always be an asshole rule: foreign dudes from the right countries, eg Italy. With a little bit of charm, these guys will have a girl fawning over them with stuff that would make her turn her stomach, had it come from a compatriot. Foreign guys in general get a pass, to an extent.
I have banged 5 Women in May off an online dating site:
23 was 7
33 was 8
21 was 7
26 was 9
38 was 7 (DDs)
This was coming off a 24 month total of 20 Women….all online dating.
I was a Dominant, Assertive, Masculine male in all interactions; many times after a 30min drink I was in my Apt with them making love. No dinner, no multi-hour courting, spening less than $25, and walking 1 city block round-trip, just straight to business.
The U. S. social / dating world is a sexual dictatorship where 1% of Males enjoy 50% market share of hot babes. Online dating is only way to level playing field and reduce the Monopoly power these Males to the Monopsony structure that online dating offers (ie, sending 50 winks per days, is 18,000 @ bats/yr) v. offline starvation (104 @ bats = 2×52 weekend at bats most guys get). 18,000 v 104!
Do the Math; while I do the babes.

Having at an occasional hot 30 something for a guy in age bracket is fine. If she is super hot (and this is really rare) its fine if she is older.
And 33 is not that old anyway. Its on the borderline YMMV.
The traits you are describing here are not assholish traits, they are manly traits. The asshole would be insulting the girls, not stopping short of it. If the term asshole keeps being tossed around so much because it is easy to use simply because that one word describes things very nicely, ok. However, asshole is a term used by women to shame men who are unabashedly masculine. Do you use it to throw is back in their faces, to succinctly make a point, . . . . what am I missing?
** I know there are lots of women who truly are attracted to the Chris Brown’s of the world who are true assholes. I get that, but that is not what CH is recommending here.
Trust me many if not most have not banged 5 babes in last year; the 33 & 38 were classic blondes
And none have banged a 9…
5 in a month is the 5 min mile of game; trust me
lol at any online chick being a 9.
But congrats either way lol even if they were all 5s you’d be doing better than 90% of guys.
ps, im 43…so I am destroying #’s guys half my age are doing and still banging 21 yo’s
Damn – I wish there was a “like” button here. Good for you!!

“Achievement unlocked: Douche-level 9000″
Let’s talk about a congruence. Can you do the jerk game while you don’t look like one? Imagine Pete Campbell from Mad Men. Whenever he tries to amplify his alpha behaviour, chicks simply ignore him (does happen in multiple episodes). I blame his sweet childish face. Women probably don’t expect any cocky and dominant behaviour from a man with such a nice face and they want to tool him instead, they want him to be submissive to women.
I was in a hipster bar(!) drinking at the bar with my friend. Some hot hipster chick has approached us and after a few words I drank some of her beer without asking (taking it directly from her hand). She didn’t make a scene but told me that the confidence I have shown might appear cool but she believed it’s fake; then she was gone to her hipster friends. Now I can blame on hipsters or my childish looks. Which?
Childish looks? Sounds like she was right, you do lack authentic confidence. Do you think Macauly Culkin was worried about his childish looks when he was banging Mila Kunis for eight years?
Duh – she throws a shit test to test your congruence and you fail. You should have playfully ignored her.
Pete Campbell tries too hard…needs to work on inner game
Vincent Kartheiser is really hot (particularly when he looks sort of strung out, not as much when he is Pete Campbell) so I would disagree that Pete’s problems are due to his looks…it’s all the character’s attitude
Pete despite his baby face and nerdiness still has enough game to get the girls. When Peggy is first hired as a secretary he goes over to her apt. after getting drunk at his bachelor party and she let’s him in and he shags her (in fact gets her pregnant) After he got married while his wife was away he shags the au pair girl in the next apt. Recently he’s shagging his friend from the train ‘s wife. He also almost shagged some 16yo girl from his drivers ED class (he never had a license) His wife Trudy was pretty good looking but he’s just bored with marriage and kids. He wanted an apt. in the city but is wife objected. However, at the end she suggested that he get one. He’s brought big accountsi nto the firm and is a partner. You have to also remember that when he started he was young and up against a lot of older men but as time passed he’s now an equal and not intimidated by them and pretty much gets what he wants.He’s pretty much an alpha and you can’t compare him to the accountant or the nerds in creative. He’s even got into a couple of fistfights and although he lost them both he still showed some backbone.
That’s just what hipster chicks do. Accuse everyone of being fake, not like them. They liked that band BEFORE it was cool.
These girls are fucking annoying to me lol once they’re in person its not bad but getting them to meet up again after grabbing a # is like pulling out a tooth because of the hipster attitude. One of my least favorite types of girls personality-wise.
@ Basil Ransom: Sure, the foreign guy has some allure just by being unique, but with a GOOD bit of charm, not a little bit. You’ve gotta have a lot of charm to win over girls in another country.
May be off topic but anyway:
I did a google search: “Why are women intimidated by sucessful men?” and the top results all come back “Why are men intimidated by sucessful women?”.
Men aren’t intimidated by successful women, they’re annoyed that those women think their success raises their market value in the way it does for men. Women thinking men are intimidated by them are either rationalizing or they’ve gotten the brush-off from so many men in their own league that they’re having to do their fishing way down scale where the guys are so low-qual as to actually BE intimidated. Either way, they’re lying to themselves about why they aren’t getting the men they want.
Remember ladies, men basically want two things from a woman: for her to be HOT and for her to be pleasant (and if she’s hot enough, pleasant is negotiable). If you are, as Maureen Dowd fears, using your capability to think critically to BE critical of your man, you’re violating the “pleasant” rule.
I don’t disagree with this info but…can anyone give me some concrete info on what “being a jerk” actually means, that women are into? Anyone have some stories to share, what actually happened? It just seems that, if you’re not naturally a jerk, pretending to be one is going to result in negative consequences, and the girls will be more turned off than ever.
Girls have told me I’m a nice guy, just from the way I look. I’m not exactly androgynous, but I’m not exactly rugged. Is there any overcoming this?
Lose the baby fat on your face, and read the 3+ years of posts here.
Hit 8% body fat with decent biceps and grunt instead of smiling and the girls will behave differently.
Yeah, I’ve been reading this blog for some time now. It’s actually hard to dig into the archives though, but there are enough back links to bounce from post to post. I guess there’s a fine line between jerk and creep, I’m guessing the difference is in “caring”, the aloof alpha attitude. There was a post way back about asshole game, but it seems in every case I hear the word asshole used, the context is where the woman is already somewhat invested in you. Maybe that’s the only time when being an asshole works.
Good point about body fat. I’m probably in the sub-20% range (things changed once I crossed to 20% line, prob went from omega to beta), so I’ll do more. I’m already fairly tall/muscular.
Googling “indifferent asshole” with this domain name would be a good place to start.
Fortunately, I have am very masculine looking. Unfortunately, I am not an asshole. Nevertheless, I’m granting my inner asshole greater liberty every day.
Hey just just nominated you for the “One Lovely Blog” Award http://showyourmind.wordpress.com/2012/06/15/nominated-for-one-lovely-blog-award/
“These areas have been implicated in face processing as well as the assessment of risk, suggesting that, consciously or not, masculinized faces are perceived as not only more attractive but also more dangerous.”
Makes sense – the sympathetic nervous system is the common gateway for sexual arousal and fear. The general arousal caused by fear and danger could come to be associated subconsciously with sexual arousal.
I mean isn’t this blog always saying that you want a girl to be a little nervous in the initial stages if you want to bang her? Total relaxation = no sexual tension = beta friendzone.
OT, but here’s my submission for Mangina of the Month – John Randolph
http://www.themarysue.com/jay-smooth-response-feminist-frequency/
Typical white knight libtard. They’re as common as dirt nowadays, so I respectfully disagree about giving him any “mangina of the month” award
Regarding the tweet: A run-down of r/K selection theory. Bold stuff the likes of which you won’t read anytime soon in the NYBetaTimes.
You would enjoy the book The Fourth Turning by Neil Howe and William Strauss.
Regarding the Mad Men tweet. Don’s wife will likely leave him for a black man and this will cause Don to become more “racist” in his attitude towards non-Whites. Pete will go bald next season. The series will end as a whole when Don jumps out of his office window. This last scene will look like the opening credits.

“Mad Men: A Jewish Fantasy indulged in.”
http://snoutslap.wordpress.com/2012/06/09/madmen-a-jewish-fantasy-indulged-in/
I quite like older women….sexy women crop up at all ages.
I don’t feel I’ve become an asshole. I did become clear in my intentions and the borders I place upon others when having a conversation. Seems to be working too, I’m 30 and I’m having 20 year olds trying hard to chase me. In the end, it was just doing weightlifting, being direct, being less overtly energetic (My worst flaw in dealing with women) and forming a cool, calm and direct demeanor.
As far as asshole goes, relentless teasing and directly disqualifying bad behavour yes. But I can still form emotional connections with the woman. Then again, I’m more of the Athol Kay / Mark Manson school of ‘game’ if you’d like to call it that. It took longer, but the whole inner game route seems to be paying off.
Word of caution. Learned tonight. Great Mother in law. Dotes on grandkids. She asked an innocent question, I replied with no malice. But it upset her by giving my honest answer. My Wife told me to be nice. I truly meant no harm. The wife knows me. But be nice to a good Mother in Law who interacts with your kids on a usually daily basis. MIL comes from a different time. Need to temper the natural asshole occasionaly.
“Another clue Rihanna may be getting back together with Chris Brown … the two partied at the same club at the same time last night … AGAIN.”
American women are getting the men they deserve, and I find I just want no part of it. My urge to mate has lost the battle with my disgust and contempt for hamster-fueled behavior like this.
