Me again, was never a push over either. I run my household. I think it was moreso that girls had a hard time seeing through insecure strength versus real strength. Never was whipped, and didn’t do back flips to try to please women. This is what the “bad boys” did in my eyes. Always trying to outshine or undermine rivals.

I think it's just that, if you're super good looking, you can sort of afford to be a jerk. So it's not the jerkiness that is attractive in itself, it's the super hotness. Correlation, not causation.

IMHO, it's the not very good looking guys who are always bemoaning "nice guys finish last"....I always sort of want to tell them "Being nice isn't your problem....you're just not that hot." But that would be mean, so I don't say it. Trust me, nice guys -- you'd do worse as a jerk.
Following up on the OP post, one of my least favorite expressions is "whipped." Thankfully I don't seem to hear that anymore (or the stupid whip snap sound). That was the bullying term used for guys that were actually respectful to girls and maybe did what the girls wanted them to do -- they were "whipped." Blech and blech. I hope that one is consigned to the dust bin of history.
19:32 that’s the thing, I am super good looking! There were un attractive guys getting way more girls than me. Because I was attractive I’m not saying I never got any attention or comments. But I was still considered nerdy and most of the girls seemed to value certain image/ behavior over looks.
This is still the case. Women don't want push overs. We want an equal domestic partner who is good with the kids amd cleans house, but when it comes to sex we want a masculine, agressive lover. Doesn't matter how hot you are. Sexual attraction is on a basic level.

13:36 here, to clarify that I never felt shamed into doing anything. It was simply that many, in my opinion, bad actors were getting all the girls. There was no penalty and often a benefit to being aggressive and disrespectful

Those bad actors weren't talking shit to the other dudes or taunting them for not notching up the women?
