Game and Weinergate

Andrew Klavan notes the unfortunate obvious:

I blame women. No, really. Women — by which I mean each and every single member of the female gender — you know who you are — need look no further than themselves to explain why Weiner-types behave toward them in this fashion. We men are always hearing complaints from women about how badly we treat them, what pigs we are, how pushy and abrasive… on and on. But what these same women conveniently fail to mention is that this stuff really works on them!

Charles C. Johnson writing about Weiner’s johnson at Big Government reports that the media has long described Weiner as “a lean, mean dating machine,” who has “a bevy of babes surrounding him,” wherever he goes. In other words, this guy has been cleaning up in the romantic department. Arnold Schwarzenegger didn’t seem to have any trouble getting dates either. Neither did alleged serial rapist Dominique Strauss-Kahn of the IMF. Chicks dig these creeps!

No doubt it will sink the spirits of many women out there and crush the romantic, white-knighting hearts of many a gamma. But the harsh, observable reality is that young women are more favorably impressed, in the sexual sense, by a man who tweets pictures of his wang to them than a man who writes them poetry or sends them flowers.

And women are MUCH more likely to make themselves sexually available to a complete jerk who practically drools as he shamelessly and inappropriately hits on them ala "the Great Seducer" than a man who is circumspect and genteel in his approach. One may not like this, but one cannot reasonably deny the observable facts of the matter. Nor can anyone claim that Roissy didn't warn them.
