The idea that “assholes” often get girls before “nice guys” can stem from a mix of social dynamics and perception. Some women might be drawn to confidence, assertiveness, or even the challenge posed by less agreeable personalities, which can be mistaken for strength or excitement. Assholes may also be more proactive in pursuing relationships, while nice guys might hesitate or overthink, missing opportunities. Evolutionary psychology suggests a preference for traits like dominance or risk-taking in some contexts, though this varies widely. Meanwhile, kindness can sometimes be undervalued if it’s seen as passive or lacking passion. Ultimately, it’s less about inherent worth and more about how traits are displayed and received in specific situations.
