Excellent advice. Too many women act as enablers for bad male behavior.

This is all such BS. Just more attacking the “white male”. Such crap.

As the front, so the back. Females of any age who pick male jerks, pick them because they get along - i.e., because they’re female jerks.

I laugh when I see how much effort goes into denying this simple, obvious, inescapable fact.

One woman’s jerk is another woman’s red-blooded American male.

It's amazing to me how many women don't teach their daughters how to protect themselves emotionally against guys who are out for one thing.

This isn't rocket science. A little self-respect on the part of young women and a few simple biology lessons about the male species goes a long way.

I taught my daughter what my grandmother taught me and believe me, there is a lot to be said for the societal rules that existed a hundred years ago.

I don't think women like jerks because they are jerks, per se. It's that jerks tend to give an outward show of confidence, are unpredictable and a challenge for the woman. A jerk may seem like a man with many choices due to his indifferent ways. And people, including women, tend to want to have what they can't have.

The sad fact is that much of the mainstream dating advice given to young men doesn't work these days ('be nice', 'be courteous', 'be a gentleman'). Women tend to view this as wimpy behavior.

Speaking strictly for myself, young girls and women have two competing urges. They hate boredom but they instinctively yearn for safety. Their hatred for boredom is why they seek out guys they find "exciting" and this is often "bad boys" and "jerks". They also know tough-talking "bad boys" offer at least the illusion of safety.

In addition, by being around jerks and bad boys, women can adapt the moral posturing of vocally condemning what they secretly enjoy. They tsk tsk men while winking their approval. Women then use their moral posturing to "win" arguments, only they find the jerks and the bad boys don't really care if they lose arguments - they'll just do as they please anyway. Some women are turned on even more when they are mistreated, odd as that seems.

I think many women see themselves as lion tamers trying to tame the foul beast that is man. They see no need to seek lions who are already tame so they must fight over the untamed so as to justify their rightful place in a civil society.

So, in short, girls and women are never going to agree to stop being attracted to jerks and bad boys because those are the sort of guys that provide the excitement they crave and allow them to establish themselves as morally superior, which then increases their self-esteem.

So, Dr. Laura and others, it's never going to happen because women don't want it to happen. Who wants a bunch of boring, polite, civil men? Certainly not most women in the 15-35 age group.

Fully 50% of the population, both male and female has an IQ lower than 100. Solution? Give IQ tests and sterilize those that fall under 100. These idiots get to vote, drive cars, move next door to you and worse of all they breathe...

A good majority of jerks are “infiltrating” abusive con artists, ie. eg.

Boy meets girl; happy girl starts talking; jerk “jokingly” makes fun of her facial hair that she does not have; she responds and giggles, and now she is stuck and caught.

It’s all in the entrapment game. The men who let her free often lose her in her dreaminess, and she thinks of them as the tree of Eden, a provider to violate, not a leader who leads. It’s also all in the rhythm of conversations, much like a hunting dog will respect the jogger of the family but not grandma’s calls to heel.

Male jerks exist because female jerks seek them out to date. Birds of a feather and all.

But there's always the camoflaged jerk. The one who is the perfect gentleman until something doesn't go quite right and his true personality shines through.

I've only come along 1 jerk during my dating days and he was a real loser, for sure. He was ok at first and then my parents told me to end the friendship because I was becoming to distracted. (I was in high school.) I wasn't happy but reluctantly broke it off. The following 18 months was hell involving stalking, slashed tires, vandalism, harassing phone calls, threat with a switchblade....

Some people are nice until you tell them, "no."
