Science Finally Explains Why Douchebags Get All The Girls

According to new “scientific” studies performed at the New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, the “dark triad” of antisocial personalities in men (”the self-obsession of narcissism; the impulsive, thrill-seeking and callous behaviour of psychopaths; and the deceitful and exploitative nature of Machiavellianism”), may be a type of “successful evolutionary strategy” that leads to more booty. The New Scientist reports:

The study found that [men] who scored higher on the dark triad personality traits tended to have more partners and more desire for short-term relationships…

James Bond epitomises this set of traits [...] “He’s clearly disagreeable, very extroverted and likes trying new things - killing people, new women.” Just as Bond seduces woman after woman, people with dark triad traits may be more successful with a quantity-style or shotgun approach to reproduction, even if they don’t stick around for parenting.”

That might explain why we secretly want to sleep with Hugo Chavez. Wearing nothing but a shotgun.
