Why women attracted to bad boys, and not nerds

[sevbucmash]

What is the evolutionary-historic reason why women aren't attracted to intelligence, surely intelligence helped the hunting group getting a juice mammoth?

Women are attracted to actual intelligence (how to succeed in life), not incel-ligence (eidetic memory of one's entire pepe folder and strategic knowledge of how Germany could've won WW2)

Same reason hit TV shows are more frequently centered around fellas in criminal organizations than they are chodes who are still reading Superman comics or playing Magic: The Gathering, decades after HS has ended...

The former brings exhilaration and drama to the table(even when they're complete f-cking losers academically and finacially), while the latter just comes across pathetic, even when they're among the few who manage to become tech billionaires

it happens below the thinking level. most of it happens at the physical/chemical/signal level. interesting how the smarties end up winning the BIG picture. basically human intelligence evolved much faster then humans and animals in general. sexual selection is animals in general. human intelligence is unique with humans. sexual selection still follows the animal path.

It’s not that women aren’t attracted to intelligence; it’s just that most men present it in a way that kills attraction. True attraction isn’t triggered by raw knowledge, but by how you make someone feel through fantasy, tension, anxiety, mystery, and the parts of you they can’t fully figure out.

Seduction thrives on what someone projects onto you, not just your traits, so the key isn’t being “bad,” it’s being someone captivating and memorable who keeps them imagining more. For example, when a woman starts to like me, she often imagines or tests me by thinking I have a pipeline of women in my rotation or that I can get anyone I want, even though that’s not actually the case.

It's not just women who are drawn to "bad boys" either

If you look around you'll see that almost the entire world is going rouge.

The intelligence you talk about only works in a vacuum, in a safe bubble that is heavily protected by actual violent forces. As soon as there's a crisis, the nerdy intelligence that works in the office becomes useless.

There hasn't been worldwide peace for long enough to get it ingrained into our systems; all it takes is a little shake up and a woman will immediately be better off with a " badboy" than with a " nerdy man".

Intelligence is more than being able to work with excel. Being able to recognize ****e, stand up for oneself ,and defend yourself can ,be given the situation, be worth more .

Street smarts have always been attractive to women.

Books smarts are typically only attractive to women to the extent they are tied to making money. Or they might be considered a “bonus” for a good looking guy via the Halo Effect. But book smarts in isolation don’t really mean much.

Yes.

Here's a Quote from a Gentleman here, that you should think about:




‘ Being happier often means letting go of that constant sexual edge and just being open and friendly.

I know that won’t sit well with the seducer types, the classical “sosuaver”, but this isn’t new.
If your goal is to constantly attract women, you’ll probably deal with more loneliness.
If your goal is a happier life, you may be less “desired,” but more fulfilled.
You have your own POV on the subject, but I see it clearly in two friends.

One is handsome, a natural seducer, great with women, but he’s mostly on his own and he’s not happy. He has not many friends since the energy He have will actually make others respect him, but not want to be friends with.

The other isn’t a monk, just genuinely kind and open. He has lots of friends, gives without expecting much back, and doesn’t worry about respect or status. Women may feel more sexual pull toward the first guy, but the second has real connection, love, and peace.
His actual life it’s so happy and different from the first one. (He isn’t a nice guy, but just genuinely in that frame)

So now you’re wondering, which of the two makes a better “lover”? Of course first one.
Which of the two have greater chance with women to be in a “lover” frame? First one.
Which of the two have greater chance to live a happier, fullfilling life? Second one.

I know that saying this in a seduction forum it’s a no-sense, but I also think that this is the type of things you should hear.
Focus on the right things will make your life better.
So if you have to chose between being sexy but unhappy and being friendzoned but genuinely happy,what would you chose?’

Decent point. But if a man can’t down the mammoth, there is no point in knowing how to get it.

Intelligence can’t protect her. Intelligence cant give her strong tall kids. Intelligence can make money for her so when she wants to divorce, she can take half and do her own thing.

Women are attracted to actual intelligence (how to succeed in life), not incel-ligence (eidetic memory of one's entire pepe folder and strategic knowledge of how Germany could've won WW2)

School wants you to memorize the latter. It doesn’t care you succeed in life or are dead or alive. Just don’t disrupt the system. Keep it running smoothly for the rich.

Yeah, a certain type of intelligence on a man draws not just women but people to us in general... Namely, the capacity to "make it rain" on a regular basis. That's very different than being able to recite sh-t read out of a textbook verbatim

Bright as Stephen Hawkings and Einstein were, no one was going to look to them for leadership in a time of war, or recruit them to keep the trains not only running but prevent them from crapping out prematurely
