Do jerks really have more of an advantage with women than the rest of us? Yes, and here's why:

Jerks are self-centered. They couldn't care less what others think of them, so they're not hampered by neediness or wanting to please anyone but themselves.

They only want what's good for them. They have no fear of rejection because if a woman isn't attracted to them, it's her problem. They approach women all the time, so they meet many, many more women than the average "nice guy".

Jerks aren't afraid of offending a woman. They say what's on their mind, and so what if it offends anyone? They have no fear of discussing topics that would make a normal man blush. Women tend to view this as self-confidence.

Jerks are upfront about what they want. They want sex, what else? Women understand this. Nice guys, on the other hand, are not upfront about their desires. They tend to keep their feelings to themselves, concealing their lusts and desires. Nice guys try to develop a friendship and only after a period of time do they let women know their true intentions. Jerks are actually more honest and open about their intentions.

Jerks have high self-esteem, misplaced though it may be. Getting rejected by women doesn't bother them at all.

The good news is that most women eventually learn that a jerk is a jerk. The bad news is that jerks usually get there first.

So how does this apply? Glad you asked.

I understand that you would like to think of yourself as a nice guy, a chivalrous gentleman, and that you'd like to treat women like the goddesses that they are. Congratulations! Welcome to the Chump's Academy.

Snap out of it, man! Women, in case you haven't figured it out yet, are not a hell of a lot different in their desires than men. Women want men. Women want to have sex. Women want men to be men. And women want to be women. Strangely enough, jerks understand this. Nice guys don't. Nice guys think women must be courted like in some medieval drama, whereas guys like Valentino knew way back in the 1920's that women only want to be swept off their feet.

So what can you learn from the jerks of the world? Don't be afraid to approach women, any and all women. So what if you get rejected? Would a jerk care?

Be upfront about your interest in her as a woman. Don't come across as a wimp. Are you interested in her as a woman or not? If you're not, why are you talking to her? If you are, let her know you're attracted to her.

If a woman you've approached isn't interested in you, are you less of a man? Have you been diminished in some way? Of course not. You simply didn't strike her fancy in that particular time and place. So what? Move on.

Nice guys give everything away for free – time, money, attention. They ask for nothing and hope for everything. Jerks demand all a woman can give and try to get away without giving anything.

Lastly, say whatever's on your mind. She can take it. Believe me, she's heard much worse than you can ever tell her, and probably from her girlfriends. So don't fear her virgin ears. Be upfront and honest. Be a man.
