Jordan Peterson - Psychologist: 'Women Hate Harmless Men'


https://www.intellectualtakeout.org/article/clinical-psychologist-women-hate-harmless-men

According to Jordan Peterson—clinical psychologist, professor of psychology at the University of Toronto, and popular speaker—such results are not surprising. When he spoke to a gathering of people earlier this year, his thoughts on what women really want in a man supported a stereotype that still has popular cachet: that women are attracted to assholes.

How many of you know what a Harlequin Romance is?... So those are archetypal stories. That’s the taming of the wild man, essentially, by the desirable and virginal woman. And if you think women don’t want that then you bloody better well come up with an explanation for Fifty Shades of Grey, which is the most rapid-selling novel in human history, and emerged at exactly the same time as all of this noise about the absence of gender roles is being produced en masse.”

Peterson further bolstered his case by revealing a blush-worthy statistic: what Google engineers discovered as “the five most desirable male entities” used in female pornography. They were:

1) Vampire
2) Werewolf
3) Billionaire
4) Surgeon
5) Pirate

As you’ll notice, weak guys that act like doormats to women didn’t crack the top five.

He's absolutely correct. When I was young, I was Mr. Super Nice Guy with women. I always finished last. They were attracted to assholes like flies to dog shit, while I watched from the sidelines.
