Researchers have discovered that being nice is the key to chimps becoming powerful alphas. Between a bully who does not return grooming and a smaller ape who is an obsessive groomer, the smaller ape wins control of the group and his pick of the female population.
This shows what I’ve often suspected. All of that “Why don’t women like nice guys?” is just a bunch of self-involved nonsense. The men who refer to themselves as “nice guys” are anything but.
By “nice” they mean boring, manipulative and incompetent. By “not nice” they usually mean the guy who got the girl they wanted. He must be mean. He proved it by being successful with women.
And just who appointed these fellows judge and jury over who is right for some woman they want to hump? What qualifies them to judge her tastes?
Instead of worrying about who likes them and why, these gentlemen should worry about who they like and why. A simple and honest examination of their motives will often disprove any delusions of “nice.”
Far as I can tell, being honest, with warts and all, is better than pretending to be nice. Anything else is just a waste of time. Wasting people’s time is cruel. Just like men, women have far too little of that currency to spend it on bullshit.

alas, it all makes so much sense now.
