But you knew that already, if you are a homo...

Well...

It is sad they define sexual success as the most partners.

God defines it differently.

Or Ladies Love Oulaws

Stupidly, but so.

My own knowledge of too many women further underscores this finding. Unfortunately, my heart hurt was hurt too many times as I witnessed prior “nice” girls hook up with such lowlifes.

It's often true.

And back in my youth, I always loved getting the last laugh when some "bad boy" tries to make himself look tough at my expense.

“He goes on to point out that in studies of polygamous societies, men who have killed tend to have more wives, and that even in the 21st century, testosterone levels correlate with status in organizations such as the U.S. Army. (But not in the U.S. job force: High levels of testosterone correlate negatively with career success in the United States. Corporate America really is full of girly-men. But you knew that.)”

LOL. Good one. :)

"So: Machiavellianism, subclinical psychopathology, subclinical narcissism: not exactly the stuff of a Jane Austen romance, but apparently the stuff of sexual success."

Let me testify.

Aggressive jerky behavior can look very much like strong dominant male behavior, which is appealing at first glance for some women. While women like strong men, most women are not fooled, they learn to spot the jerks.

[Revolting cat!]

Chicks dig jerks and deny that they do!

Nice guys are confusing to a woman’s ego. The nice guy treats her extremely well but because he is a nice guy he treats everyone extremely well. Woman observes this and her not getting “special” treatment eventually burns through her dopamine load and she jettisons Mr Nice. In comes Mr Ahole and he treats everyone like garbage except for his woman. Her “I am Special” meter kicks in with it ability to keep the dopamine flowing.

Women love nice guys, they go apeshite over Aholes.

Machiavellianism, subclinical psychopathology, subclinical narcissism: not exactly the stuff of a Jane Austen romance

True. But a pretty good description of the hero of most modern romance novels, at least in the early stage of their relationship, before she "tames" him.

Liberals generally accept the biological explanation of human sexual behavior in exactly one case: that of homosexuality. But human desire is a stranger and sometimes darker thing than we imagine, and certainly a more complex one. Those who would try to understand it must be willing to ask uncomfortable questions and to entertain uncomfortable answers.

The Comments for this article pretty much proves the author's point. Many people violently reject the findings of research in this area. They don't show where the research is inaccurate, they just dislike the results.

Famous underground cartoonist Robert Crumb (keep on truckin’) had a huge rant about this subject in one of his comic books. Crumb was a self-described skinny nerd who no matter how good his artistic talents, was always being brushed aside for the obnoxious, strutting tough guys who treated their women awful. He was contemptuous of females who publicly stated they wanted a tender, understanding male, but constantly went for the insensitive cruds. But then Crumb became famous, and everything changed for him. Then he began treating women like disposable sex objects.

“...sexual success, defined in the literature as a larger number of total lifetime sexual partners.”

An odd definition.
