I'm confused as to why my name is attached to this. Are you comparing me with Dio, or is it just that you know I'd get the ref?

I always figured Dio never got laid because of this:



I've never been particularly clear on what an alpha male is vs a beta male. So far as I've ever been able to determine I incorporate aspects of both and could get a lot more tail than I do, were I so inclined (I know this because there was a time when I did). I'm generally not inclined because detached pussy isn't as fun as it sounds. I get bored easily, and one night stands get old after a while. I expect a woman to keep me on my toes, physically and mentally.

I'm not entirely sure that the so-called 'dark triad' is so much successful. Proving that selfish guys get more ass doesn't necessarily mean that it's a better trait from an evolutionary standpoint. The problem is the layers; there are social aspects at play that go past the base physical.

A selfish guy is more likely to sleep with a girl because he doesn't give a shit about her. A 'nice' guy (lack of a better word here) might decide not to for fear of taking advantage of the drunk chick at the party. Or perhaps the 'nice' guys are the ones who are programmed genetically/socially to look for a monogamous female partner. One could argue that this is a valid evolutionary strategy, since if she doesn't stray there aren't other guys' sperm choking his out.

Let's make sure we keep in mind that the goal of evolution is not for the individual to survive, but rather for the offspring to survive.

I think that blaming everything on genetics is sort of in vogue at the moment. It gets overused.

Random musings.
