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.

Well, it goes both ways. It’s an offer and demand issue. Many men tend to spoil unworthy women to the extreme, making all women expect more so out of a man than her girlfriend is already getting.

It is glaringly obvious that the “price” of overhyped gals and girls goes way up when men become so easy customers. Sadly this translates into so called “moderate men” and their tolerance for abortion, along with courthouses making crazy demands of living standards.

Few years back cell phones were not existent, but now it’s like part of divorce settlements: a cell phone service must be provided.

Our modern society has become completely absurd. It’s why it expects now to make a living without Carbon dioxide emissions.

As for women choosing jerks and other gross spitters, I will surmise that one must be a jerk to compromise on abortion with a b!tch... 2 peas in a pod.

Thus women seem to fall for lines like:
Yo, bimbo!
I’m Mr Sleaze
I’m what you want and I’m what you need.

The above I made up as a parody, however it is so close to the mark it is scary. An acqaintance of mine (socially and professionally) fell for such a line (the jerk is a VP at a Fortune 500), and is now stuck with a control freak. I can;t call her a friend, since she is not allowed to have friends.
