Bad guys really do get the most girls

NICE guys knew it, now two studies have confirmed it: bad boys get the most girls. The finding may help explain why a nasty suite of antisocial personality traits known as the "dark triad" persists in the human population, despite their potentially grave cultural costs.

The traits are the self-obsession of narcissism; the impulsive, thrill-seeking and callous behaviour of psychopaths; and the deceitful and exploitative nature of Machiavellianism. At their extreme, these traits would be highly detrimental for life in traditional human societies. People with these personalities risk being shunned by others and shut out of relationships, leaving them without a mate, hungry and vulnerable to predators.

But being just slightly evil could have an upside: a prolific sex life, says Peter Jonason at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces. "We have some evidence that the three traits are really the same thing and may represent a successful evolutionary strategy."

I am bad, like seriously bad. I once gave my son (when he was 20) a beer. A crime like that here in Ohio can get you 6 months hard time and fines.

I have smoked in a bar, after it was banned (and I was around some other bad mo'fo's like the bar owner and waitresses who were doing the same). And when the cops came in (some other bad dude had stolen a purse) I didn't flinch. The cops knew how bad we were and never even mentioned the smoking. Cause we were so bad we scared them.

Just earlier today I went over the speed limit. Twice. And just to rub it in, when I got home I opened a beer - IN MY CAR - and left it sitting there, another hard core crime here. It is still sitting there. I'll drink it later after it has absorbed all the badness of being illegal. Tastes better that way.

Also went through the drive through, it is inside a building (you buy beer/smokes/milk/etc there) and I was smoking - inside a building, at a place of employment, smoking, spewing fumes from my car. Those f**kers dropped dead within seconds...ok, they didn't, but they were smoking too (at work??? Yep).

I run with some bad ass dudes and dudettes here in the hood.

Now I have to run, there is a line of women at my door I have to entertain.

I am such a scoundrel :rofl:
