Why Women Like Jerks


After reading an article on Why Women Like Jerks from Shave Magazine online, I was enlightened as to why the fairer sex is attracted to men who are "not nice" (understatement).

The article explains how the way our ancestors treated women and that "Jerks" are biologically desirable are possible clues into our strange choices in men. 

There also seems to be a certain confidence about these "Jerks" which make us wonder what they have.  Ever see people rummaging through stuff at a store and see others walking over to get in on the action.  We think, "If she wants it so bad then it must be something good".  Well men who exude a large ego, make us wonder if we should find out what he has.

This article explains why the jerk gets the girl, so you can see why men would be interested in this article.  Head him off at the pass and read the article.

Shave Magazine is an online Men's Magazine and, that is exactly why we should be reading it.

Want to know what men think and what they think is important--well delving into the articles in this magazine is the equivalent of reading or better than reading a book about understanding men.

Knowledge is power ladies!

According to TMZ Donna Summer the Disco Queen has died of cancer early this morning at the age of 63.  Donna Summer is a 5-time Grammy Award winner who had many hits in the 1970's and 1980's including "Last Dance", "Bad Girls", "Love to Love You Baby", "On the Radio".  And her song "I feel love" was a thumping, fabulous disco tune.  And one of my favourites, that  I would sing whenever I made cake, lol-- "MacArthur Park" (Someone Left the Cake Out in the Rain).

Donna Summers did a duet with Barbara Streisand with the song "No More Tears" (Enough is Enough).  Donna Summers Queen of Disco also developed her music and worked across many musical genres to include gospel, rock, new wave,  and reggae. 

Donna created an anthem for working women: "She worked hard for the money".  Taken from ABC's Sheila Marikar's article, here is a quote from Donna Summer about how she wrote the song "She worked Hard for the Money".

“I was at a Grammys party … and I went to the ladies room and on my way in I saw this little old lady sitting at the end of the bar. And she was asleep,” Summer told “Nightline.” “She was the bathroom attendant. And at that same moment, a group of ladies walked into the room and started spraying their hair and doing all these things. And my first thought was ‘God, she works hard for her money, that lady.’
“And then I thought, ‘man, that’s a song,’” she said. “So I went and grabbed my manager and we went back into the bathroom and started writing the song on a piece of toilet paper.”
She was a very gifted and talented singer and song writer.
