User blog comment:Mrdaimion/Rant: Why Nice Guys Finish Last/@comment-1221823-20120807232647

I agree with the message you bring up (the idea that "nice guys finish last" is crap that narcissists use to get sympathy), and your first two explanations, but what the hell with #3? Even if girls do have a compulsion to mate with "bad" guys, this isn't because of evolution. It's because of how, in past years (years meaning a vague number of them, from 5 to 500), "bad boys" (not necessarily alpha males) have been idealized as a good romantic partner for a girl. Because of this, women often believe that bad boys are hot, in a troubled sort of way. And plenty of girls will still go for nicer, less agressive guys--just they're not often as vocal about it. Also, girls didn't always go for "huge cocks". The ideal Greek man had a small penis, for example.
