    I think "jerk" falls somewhere between "asshole" and "idiot".

    Women go for the Alpha males, it is simple and instinctual. The alpha males command the most respect from others and tend to be leaders by default. Through out the animal kingdom females chose the alpha male's genes for their offspring. Why do women choose assholes? Overt assholes tend to be alpha males because they get away with it, without being challenged by others in the given social setting. Not all alphas are assholes, just large percentage.

    I hope this logically answers your question.

    If all men who manage to attract a woman are alpha males, we got an awful
    lot of alpha males.

    Let's not over generalize please. I know one, maybe two clear cases of women
    who are attracted to "jerks" (over and over again). One of them is an
    especially tragic case, a woman who's had tens of men and was cheated and
    maltreated over and over again. No idea why she keeps falling for that.

    But I also know plenty of women who aren't attracted to jerks at all. The most
    general thing you can say is that people are different.

    Doorsfan, you sound pretty bitter.. like you had a very bad experience of being
    cheated or something. If it's any consolation, I can assure you that there do
    exist loyal people.

    please don't misunderstand, i do not mean that, i just try to explain why women can be attracted to jerks more often than one would expect.

    If there are women here that want to prove they don't get alpha males always then I'm the man to get.

    "If there are women here." Yeah, sure..
