It's not that the opposite of a nice guy is a jerk, or that it's an either or situation. And yet, what is noticed and noticeable is that many females tend to be attracted to that jerk type behavior like a moth to a very large flame. Also equallyimportant is that any response or deviation in behavior from what is normal andexpected is often met with resistance. Whether that is because "dominant" partner is no longer going to get her way every single time, or because it's just a learned response matters not.
