Women love them a hot toned guy, and if he's also smart and nice, it will be hard to make them leave him alone.

Actually, women love hot, toned, and tattooed douchebags. Or if the woman wants pure white collar, an abusive sales executive or sociopathic litigator. But yes, they're both categories of douchebags, though douchebags, conceptually, are more associated with rogues/thugs.

The man in your statement is actually me and for the most part, until I'd left STEM for financial services, women were not that interested in me. But today, I'm no longer 'nice' just outwardly polite. And I don't care to date women anymore.

Now that I've known a bunch of prostitutes, I can say one thing, many would rather go that route than to take on a "real" job.

For instance, one wanted to be in financial services, but after a few months of 50 hour work weeks, she dropped it, to see clients at $200/hr, which is the going rate with a lot of Australian escorts. The average Australian accountant earns ~$54K/yr. She makes that, seeing 2 or 3 clients per week for a few hours. Obviously, she does more work because it looked like she traveled a lot to England, Singapore, etc, but it's not like the work is taxing. I mean it's just BJs and spreading her legs.

BTW, the other big lie is that Femi-Nazis will usually say that these women don't want this escorting work and were trafficked. Well, I'd say that driving from the outer 'burbs of Sydney into its downtown region is not trafficking; it's called, being stuck in traffic.

All and all, there's this false notion that a slew of women want to study a hard STEM field and become nuclear engineers but guys have routinely held them them back. In reality, most non-Asian females won't put in the effort to become a nuclear engineer. At best, you'll see the more diligent women go premed than anything else. And many of those women are also Asian. The truth is that the average woman wants more money for less work.

Quigley says

Sometimes I think those Muslims have it right with the way they treat their women.

False dichotomy. The Middle Eastern Islamic countries treat women like property and that's down right evil. Men in America don't have it as bad as women in the Middle East by far, but there is no reason to believe that we have to choose between a misogynous culture or a misandrist one. There are plenty of far better alternatives.

Rin says

Unfortunately, this is true for many women. It's because their genes are assuming that douchebags are more likely to get their genes into the next generation, what scientists call the Sexy Son Hypothesis. If a woman bears the child of a womanizing douchebag that other women also find attractive because he's a douchebag, then any male descendants she has will have douchebag genes and will be attractive to the dumb douchebag-chasing women who will bear his children. Or as women put it, "you want a bad boy you can turn good", except that they never turn him good.

It pisses me off when pseudo-feminists blame STEM workers for the lack of women in STEM when it's the bigotry of non-Asian women that's the cause of that lack.

Indiana Jones says

I am talking about systemic wide exploitation in using a person's body and sexuality to sell anything, whether it is a beer at Hooters, calvin klein jeans or a ticket into a strip joint.

Are you asking men not to be attracted to pictures of attractive women?

Or are you asking advertisers not to use what actually works, but rather to let other companies use it to take revenue and market share?

Or are you asking the people to use the law to restrict freedom of speech because you don't like how it's being used?

Or maybe you're just asking people in general to avoid products that use pictures of attractive women in their ads...

men's continued douchebaggery

BTW, when did the term douchebag, go critical?

Until perhaps a decade ago, the pejorative term, dirtbag, used to encompass a lot of today's douchebags. But then, all of a sudden, we got this massive flux of douchebaggery nationwide.

sbh says

Does that mean we can partially blame women for men's continued douchebaggery?

It's a positive feedback mechanism called "sexual exaggeration". It's the same reason women have breasts.

The thing is that the OP is actually, not too disparate from these Femi-Nazis.

In the beginning, she'll say that those Australian prostitutes were trafficked. Then, if/when they show their green cards or Aussie passports, she'll change tack and say that they were conditioned by a male dominated society.

But then, when she sees that many were in fact, students, or earlier working as waitresses, secretaries, accountants, etc, then she'll run and hide because she can't throw the Navy nuclear engineer wannabe credo at us.

However, as soon as the legal hoes with papers disappear from the context, using a few weeks to forget about the earlier situation, we get back to the notion of trafficking women from eastern Europe or South America, and then again it arises ... the idea that men had stopped women from becoming nuclear engineers.

This is the basic pick 'n roll strategies of Femi-Nazis, so that men are tricked into ditching half their income for them. In reality, women will bang douchebags anyways. How about instead, banging a nice guy who's willing to pay for the ride?

And in the land of the free and brave, if a woman shows up and says to me, "Hey look, I'd maxed out my credit cards and have zero savings because I'm a poor saver and I love to shop for useless outfits and jewelery, can we bang, and you can cover this month's rent?"

I'd have to turn her down because I wouldn't know if she were undercover vice squad. In Australia, however, the above wouldn't be an issue.

Women will bang douchebags anyway? Dang, if only I had known years ago.
