- Ninh, on 06/18/2008, -6/+165You do realize he is a fictional character and his encounters with women are scripted ...?
- Premier, on 06/19/2008, -1/+88Chloroform?
- Anpheus, on 06/19/2008, -2/+49Yeah but it's even dumber that they discovered something every nice guy already knows.
The article: "According to a new study, men who are narcissistic, thrill-seeking liars and all round 'bad boys' tend to have the greatest success finding more sexual partners."
Of course guys who are willing to lie to a girl are more successful. It's a lot easier to begin a relationship if you're willing to completely BS your partner and tell them all the right things. It's also a ***** foundation for a long-term relationship. People who are honest have more long-term relationships, people who are dishonest have more short-term relationships. Duh.
It's like these scientists just discovered modern psychology and sociology. - MarkBroadhurst, on 06/19/2008, -3/+38I'd have thought a scientist would be the last person to unravel what is attractive to women.
- mrzeero, on 06/19/2008, -4/+27I thought it was because he wore AXE.
- ysss, on 06/19/2008, -3/+261). Narcissistic
: They pay more attention to their looks & on how to improve them.
2). Thrill seeking liars
: Makes for great conversation
3). Bad boys
: Not boring.
4). "try it on with more women"
: Practice makes perfect.
Conclusion: #4 is definitely key. - TheTesseract, on 06/19/2008, -0/+19FTA-
"...a tendency to lie and manipulate others, the selfishness associated with narcissism and impulsive behaviour that gives little thought to consequence"
"The scientists then asked the students about their attitudes to sex, including how many partners they had had and whether they desired short-term sexual encounters"
"...those who were ranked highest for "dark triad" characteristics also tended to have the largest number of sexual partners"
Isn't the more logical conclusion that these men are simply more likely to exaggerate their number of sexual partners? - greatgatsbyII, on 06/19/2008, -0/+18The comments thus far talk about Bond being a fictional character, but the article just uses Bond's character as a model readers can relate to. The article talks about real people that act like him.
- twister17e, on 06/19/2008, -3/+20Step by step guide...
Step 1) Leave the basement
Step 2) Talk to girls
Step 3) ???
Step 4) Get a date - Checkerd, on 06/19/2008, -1/+17Gadgets?
- hollywoodphony, on 06/19/2008, -2/+15"According to a new study, men who are narcissistic, thrill-seeking liars and all round "bad boys" tend to have the greatest success finding more sexual partners."
Between this and "sitting on your ass watching tv makes you fat", this has been quite the night for grasping the obvious on Digg. - david76, on 06/19/2008, -0/+13I figured it was because he forced himself on women. Or maybe it was the pick-up lines...
"Nice pussy." - Bond - Oppslagsverk, on 06/19/2008, -3/+15BREAKING: Scientists have figured out that James Bond actually is fiction.
That is, in 10 years. - Kyrgizion, on 06/19/2008, -1/+13#4's success is twofold:
-trying more with more women obviously increases chances of getting a "yes" somewhere along the way
-doing this consistently will likely teach you a thing or two about the process, thus enabling you to sort the likely targets from unlikely ones better, resulting in increased success.
Now, to apply this to my own life. Funny how easy it is to KNOW something, and how hard it is to actually DO. - inactive, on 06/19/2008, -3/+14The beta males of Digg are upset, The article simple points out that women like bad boys. Not chair jockeys or masters of bloggery.
- inactive, on 06/19/2008, -0/+10Not chloriform, but another word that starts with 'C' - confidence. Women dig confidence. Unfortunately, many of them love it so much that they're willing to ignore other horrible character traits just because a confident guy is so attractive to them.
- Adil786, on 06/19/2008, -3/+11Scientists must be getting really bored.
- brdsofprey, on 06/19/2008, -0/+8I think you're right that women are attracted to confident men.
But I don't think that they like it so much they ignore the bad characteristics. I think that women actually mistake the bad characteristics as confidence. Once the really get to know the guy it may turn out the guy really isn't all that confident in himself and acts like an ass as a defense of that.
The dark triad as the article names it are often characteristics that people adopt because of insecurities. - CucumberBoy, on 06/19/2008, -0/+8Then why are they not playboy scientsists by now?
- 404digg, on 06/19/2008, -3/+11Its amazing how the scientists miss the whole context. The context being that the character, his attributes, the circumstances are fictional. That alone renders the translation from fiction to reality suspect. (And, yes, I am insecure)
- NRay7882, on 06/19/2008, -0/+8The downside to living this type of lifestyle is everything is always blowing up, the girls you lay are always dying, and some henchman is always stalking you.
- Pillage, on 06/19/2008, -5/+13I always figured it was because he was packing..if you know what I mean.
- solidus636, on 06/19/2008, -4/+11No, I don't want to believe it!
- inactive, on 06/19/2008, -2/+9Candy for the cuties?
- WoollyMittens, on 06/19/2008, -1/+7The fact that he's a fictional character might have something to do with it.
- loquax, on 06/19/2008, -0/+5"According to a new study, men who are narcissistic, thrill-seeking liars and all round "bad boys" tend to have the greatest success finding more sexual partners."
In other studies, the prevalence of abandonment and wife beating among these losers was significantly higher as well... - Arlieth, on 06/19/2008, -0/+5Never underestimate the ego of a woman. Swap "James Bond" with "Satan" and you might get the following from Bill Hicks:
"Anyway, I was reading an article in the paper about Ted Bundy [the mass murderer] being on trial in Florida. In the article it said the courtroom was filled with women waiting to give him flowers, love letters and wedding ***** proposals ... and I'm afraid to say that the first thing that entered my head was: 'And I'm not getting laid.' What am I doing wrong?"
[...]
"He's Satan."
"You don't know him like *I* do!"
"He's the Prince of Darkness."
"I CAN CHANGE HIIIIIM"
"... And I bet that's true, man. I wouldn't give Satan a snowball's chance in Hell against a woman's ego. He'd rule the earth for a day, then we'd see him outside, mowing the lawn. 'Hey, aren't you Satan?' 'Shut up.' 'Oooh, Mr. Prince of Darkness, you forgot the edge back there.' 'SHUT UP.' You'll see him at the supermarket buying 'Tampons, aisle three ...' 'Aren't you Satan?' 'SHUT UP.' 'You're pussy-whipped!' 'No, I'm Satan! GRRR!' 'You're not Prince of Darkness, you're Pussy-whipped of Darkness!'" - davymac, on 06/19/2008, -1/+6These "scientists" must be bitter. I just kind of laughed at the ridiculousness of this BS study. "Liars" is relative to whats going on... if I tell a girl, "You're cute, if you were my type I'd totally be hitting on you"... or "I like my women like I like me meat, cooking in the kitchen".. its an obvious lie, but the SUBCOMMUNICATION is that I'm joking and that I'm not a serious nerd that doesn't understand how to excite a woman (like 90% of digg users)..
P.S. Enough with the pussies saying "ya only ***** get hot girls".. little do you realize when you muster up the marbles to hit on a hot girl.. she'll probably think you're an ***** for not leaving her alone.. ugh... ending rant now - ChildeRoland420, on 06/19/2008, -1/+6PPK, thank you very much.
- Encablossa, on 06/19/2008, -0/+5People with low self esteem lie to boast it.
- plup, on 06/19/2008, -2/+7"LoL"? Really?
- MRintheKeys, on 06/19/2008, -1/+6a Walther P99?
- mrzeero, on 06/19/2008, -0/+4Don't forget the crop circles may be real post.
- inactive, on 06/19/2008, -1/+5The key to herpes or the key to hep C?
- shondell, on 06/19/2008, -0/+4I don't think there is any "secret" as to how James Bond ***** so many hot women. I mean look at him! He always plays it cool, drives the nicest cars, always acts like a gentleman, knows how to use a gun, etc. I mean, if I was a woman I'd let him do me up the pooper.
- inactive, on 06/19/2008, -2/+6Why not just ask women why they are attracted to Bond instead of having old men on viagra running the tests.
- CraigReed, on 06/19/2008, -0/+4They're studying the perfect fitting tux now.
- BitKid, on 06/19/2008, -0/+4bwahahahahaahhaha...no, in all seriousness I just want someone to snuggle with....bwahahahahah
- MRintheKeys, on 06/19/2008, -0/+4Actually he switched and modernized with the times a few years ago.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_James_Bond_fi ... - psevium, on 06/19/2008, -0/+3Perpetual beta duh
- inotocracy, on 06/19/2008, -0/+3"Scientists have long speculated why famous "bad boys" like Mick Jagger and Warren Beatty appear to have more success with women. "
.. how about because they're famous and probably loaded with cash? They seem to be forgetting that key aspect. - Kidddrunkadelic, on 06/19/2008, -0/+3"Jobs done, the bitch is dead."
- gotamd, on 06/19/2008, -0/+3It's too bad the solution is to be a jerk. Nice guys do finish last, unfortunately.
- tocsy, on 06/19/2008, -0/+3Why can't it be both?
- bigfruitbasket, on 06/19/2008, -0/+3I thought this one was from The Onion.
- enicholas, on 06/19/2008, -0/+3No, the article points out that lying, selfish ***** are more likely to have a lot of short-term relationships. Funny that you're turning that into a positive.
- esus4, on 06/19/2008, -0/+3Because, the answer they give will end up being the "correct" one and not the true one.
- inactive, on 06/19/2008, -0/+3lol gay.
- Sairynn, on 06/19/2008, -0/+3Isn't beta better anyway? You know... more developed, less likely to crash and burn?
- luckyguy2000, on 06/19/2008, -0/+3i guess its because he treats them like dirtiest ***** and use them for his entertainment. and maybe because hes so badass, that he can murder crowds of people violently with turning a hair.
so hes a great role model for all of us! thats what women want! :-D
(btw. 'james bond' is just fiction, you know? in other words: he and his girls doesnt exist!) -
