Bad Boys Get More Sex, Have Higher Self-Esteem & Social Status

Damn It Feels Good To Be A Bully
By: Ryan Carrillo

A brand new study just published from Canada has added weight to a new theory about bullying. The study*proposes that the behavior is genetic; an inherited trait that helps build social rank and sex appeal.

For anyone that’s been paying attention to social dynamics, the news that “bad boys” have a higher perceived social rank and thus are more attractive to women is nothing new.

The hypothesis is rooted in evolutionary psychology and could transform how schools confront the problem of bullying.

According to conventional wisdom, bullies were thought*to be troubled, or suffering from insecurities and lashing out due to abuse at home or harassment they sustained themselves. They were also often seen as coming from dysfunctional homes.

Researchers at Simon Fraser University surveyed a group of Vancouver high school students and found something else entireley. They found that bullies were least likely to be depressed, had the highest self-esteem and the greatest social status.

I don't really know what to say about this article since bad boys and bullies are not the same. A bad boy is a rebel, someone who tends to get himself in trouble, no fear in breaking the law. As a woman you perceive a bad boy as someone who would knock a fella out for hinting on your in front of him. You see a bad boy as that guy who would definitely stand up for you in a situation where someone was messing around.

A bully is a coward who preys on someone who is weaker than him. A bully is someone who won't stand up to someone who he knows that is stronger than him.

Definitely not the same thing

I'd agree they're not the same. I don't think a bad boy is someone who'd knock a fella out for hinting on you though, more of an alpha in general.

haha i can say i'm a bad boy, not a bully. although the bad boy role (been to jail 7 times :( ) has not landed me any women, lol....

[fdesa12]

So... what does that make a guy who isn't a bad boy but isn't a nice guy either? What if he's a just and honorable person who's not afraid to bend his wills to others while having good morals? aka a confident guy with goals?

Could be some truth to it. I've read somewhere that individuals/men with higher testosterone enjoy causing pain. Like antagonizing, making fun of others. Bullying could be part of it.

Im not sure I really agree with the whole bad boy concept either. I have a lot of friends with attractive girlfriends who aren't "bad boys" and like someone mentioned above, not "nice"' either. I think what everyone means by "bad boy" is just strong, and doesn't take crap from people. Which really isn't that bad at all! lol! Maybe KateD can chime in here?

In many cases depression, sadness, loneliness, lack of love, some of the ingredients for bullies. Of course it is possible to built a social status by negative actions, but also by positive ones.

Well , speaking from experience, it's about the confidence the male has . No matter if he is a nerd, geek , bad boy or scholar. If a woman is submissive even a little doesn't have to be a lot , she wants a strong confident man .
