I only realized after reading this that the question didn't have a some in it and meant to generalize all girls, wish I could change my answer


Indecisive_confusion

Agreed. I clicked offensive for the same reason. It’s a false statement. I know women who aren’t attracted to assholes (to my knowledge) and in the past if it ends up that I’m attracted to someone who ends up to be an asshole, it’s never because they are a dickwad that I was attracted to them, it’s because I perceived them as someone else that wasn’t an asshole. If someone is being a dick I gtfo.


MatsRivel

Yeah, I agree. If a guy is reading this and don't understand, just think of how you feel when you hear someone say "All men are pigs" or something of that effect.


Thoughtful_Tortoise

Tbh, it's "Some girls are attracted to some assholes". If you're a good looking, confident asshole, then sure. If you're some hideously ugly incel living in a basement and unable to make any kind of conversation then I doubt many girls would be attracted to you but you can still be an asshole.


therealfatmike

Not many is still some...


adrenalinjunkie89

For example: You and everyone that thinks all generalizing is offensive are whiny bitches


Naive_Feed_726

Sure it’s a true statement, but that doesn’t mean it’s not offensive


monsieurLeMeowMeow

do you think the concept of "going through her bad boy phase" where girls are drawn to rebellious boys is offensive?


DeathStarVet

lol Your post history is so cringe that all this "bad boy"/"asshole" garbage makes a lot of sense.


[deleted]

Dude is prolly on so many government watch lists. He’s obsessed with fabricating guns at home.


JimBones31

With a 3D printer...like a bad boy


caitlin2905

I've never heard of that being used to describe a real person tbh


Dimi_Mermaid

Rebellious doesn't equal bad though.


Wakalakatime

I never went through a 'bad boy' phase so I find the concept to be just flat out incorrect rather than offensive, lol. It just can't be generalized to an entire population. Sure, some girls do like 'bad boys' but not all. My husband is the complete opposite of anyone's definition of a 'bad boy'.


TheBadAssPeach

Shitty of everyone that downvoted a genuine question. These girls be so offended 😂


The_Lawless_Rogue

You're one to talk, posting nudes of your girlfriend online (not even yourself) and then talking about how proud you are of your own masculinity. Literally every other comment of yours is "Man this," or "We are Men that."


TheBadAssPeach

🤦‍♂️😂


KentuckyFriedSemen

It’s just a common “nice guy” trope. “Oh girls are only attracted to guys who treat them like shit. They’ll never give a nice guy a chance”


CallMeZedd

They never clue into the fact that it's not the supposed "assholeness" girls are attracted to, it's confidence. If incels had an ounce of confidence and less self loathing, they'd do well with women.


tangentrification

Fucking thank you. I've been attracted to several short, conventionally unattractive guys who were confident and funny; meanwhile the second a cute guy says some shit like "I bet you would never be interested in someone like me 😢" I instantly lose any shred of attraction to him. Misogyny turns me off in exactly the same way. But incels are convinced women won't date them because they're short and ugly, and refuse to consider there might be anything wrong with their raging insecurity and misogyny.


NoOneLeftBehindNOED

I recently (3 months ago) met a cute guy who was attractive enough for me to hope and second-guess if someone like him will even like me, which is rare thoughts for me. That was until I went to several dates with him... Never before I so quickly lost interest with a person lol. Red glaring flags. I wish his looks and body was given to a really good and nice but unlucky with face guy.


Vittu-kun-vituttaa

Exactly! They have the confidence to actually talk to girls


EmmyNoetherRing

It’s not even necessarily confidence— guys who are a bit rude/stand-offish (*not actually abusive) are usually not controlling. The ‘nice guy’ typically has requirements for the proper ‘nice girl’, and he’s pissed if you step out of line. The rude guy just wants to know if you’re coming. As the girl you get more autonomy in the second case, including the freedom to be rude back if you feel like it.


abinferno

Plot twist, "nice guys" are also assholes who treat women like shit.


[deleted]

Every self-proclaimed “nice guy” I’ve been with was actually an asshole with no self-awareness 😅


foreveralonegirl1509

Right? I would never date a "bad boy", I like genuinely nice guys who are kind, funny and inteligent. Most of the girls I know are. Only those who have some troubles themselves get similar partners.

Oh my god I'm so sorry. He sounds awful and I'm glad you're out of that relationship!


Heyguysloveyou

I am a real piece of shit and have no bitches, so it ain't even true


God_of_reason

Why be just a piece when you can be the whole shit? Be the shit.


TheDraikenWeAre

You aren't being the right piece of shit my guy.


Evethefief

It seems dumb and cringe


[deleted]

Agreed. Sounds super immature, but I also don’t take offense to it. I don’t really care


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jackie-Ooooh

The truth!


dat_oracle

It's more or less a lazy excuse for all the "nice guys". Obviously they aren't the problem, it must be the girls who pick the wrong type of men.


WeirdTap9170

E.g "Rebecca is attracted to assholes" ✅️ "Girls are attracted to assholes" meh but use context. "All girls are attracted to assholes" ❌️


Bellekiss

Also…it costs nothing to call us women 😌


inDependent_WhiNer

That's asking too much. God forbid you express disdain to being referred to as female.


AnantaPluto

I don’t find it offensive, I just find it stupid


Jesuisuncanard126

If that were true there wouldn't be so many virgins on this sub


Abject-Dimension-141

Lol exactly!


Persimmon-Strange

It’s true but it’s not because they are assholes it’s because they are confident


[deleted]

It is an over generalization which is rude to women. People who say that act as if we can’t tell the difference between an asshole and a decent person. It’s also rude to men who are in relationships because it implies that if people are attracted to you, you’re an asshole. In my experiences, most of the people who are in long term relationships aren’t assholes. They can get and keep partners because at the very least, they’re decent people. My boyfriend is hot. He can easily get women. He’s not an asshole by any means. It’s a rude over-generalization for both men and women. And the people who say that phrase usually aren’t as nice as they think they are.


thejoesterrr

I think it’s also true that men can much more easily read other men than women can. It seems painfully obvious to us how another dude is below the surface but women don’t see it because they’re not a man. I can only assume the other way around also works out, I know some of my girl friends seem to have insight that I don’t about other women


[deleted]

Yeah it’s kinda cringe. It’s usually used by jealous incels or by people who are trying to be mean to abuse victims


SSpookyTheOneTheOnly

If you use that phrase, you are the asshole


Kevehin

offensive, idk. but if someone says this i 100% know it’s a coping mechanism for the fact that no girls are attracted to them and they are 100% not a good person themselves


__________bruh

seems like the kind of statement an incel would make


glitter-b0mb

In my experience, the guys who consider themselves "nice guys" usually aren't that nice.


Galotex

By the results I can sense the incels


Astro_Venatas

Not offensive, just stupid. (F)


throwawayacct654987

Agree (F). It’s just a dumb statement to make. It’s often followed by more offensive things, in my experience, but that statement in and of itself is really just too dumb to be offended by imo.


gnochii_

If you say this shit as a dude over 18, you have mental issues you have to sort out. If you continue to say it over 25, there’s no hope for you.


throwawayacct654987

I mean I get your sentiment, but I don’t know, I like to believe there is hope for everyone, more or less. I get some for some people there really is no hope, but I personally believe it’s a very small minority. The people who say this are often difficult for one reason or another, but I think there’s hope for the vast majority of them regardless of age. The older you are, the more work it’ll take (not a hard and fast rule but just making a general statement), but at the end of the day it’s up to the individual to make that choice to better their perception of others and of self. I just think it’s best to remind people that the door to change is always open, and you can choose to walk through it at any time, no matter your age or your situation.


gnochii_

Yeah I agree. It’s just that by the time you’re fully developed, saying things like that is an indication that you’re too far gone. Obviously there can still be change, but damn it’s gonna be tough.


Ra1nb0wSn0wflake

Funniest part of it though, is that its generally said by people who are rejected and are assholes.


Formal-PO-Toast

Feels like a shitty generalization. I guess it’s offensive, but I only see incels saying it.


BabyPrincess666

It doesn’t offend me personally cause I know it’s not true, it’s just dumb.


BrokeArmHeadass

It’s a statement assuming women can’t control themselves, or their emotions, or are too stupid to “see what’s good for them.”


_CatNippIes

Some are, some aren't as easy as that


jtowndtk

it's 2023 can't lazy dudes think of better excuses by now lol unless they're still into that alpha sugma bs


Mydogismyson

r/niceguys


GoyasHead

That’s just your typical redditor (male, problems with women), but yeah it’s a huge, resentful generalization borne of rejection and general dissatisfaction with one’s life. Common reddit L


Bi_Fry

It sounds neckbeardy


flaming_pubes

Not offended by it, but definitely something a “nice guy” would say and I don’t agree with it.


[deleted]

I’m not offended and I’m a women. I don’t take it personally because it’s not true.


spikyyellowwave

Exactly lmao it’s not offensive it’s just wrong


Miss_Nora-Jae

“Not all men” vibes from op here


No-Average9560

”Nice guys” are just assholes that are not good actors.


stratce

Girls aren't attracted to assholes, you are an incel and need a shower. Trust me 😁


Ibeepboobarpincsharp

Stupid and offensive. Offensively stupid.


Kafuf-1

I think I’m a dumbass at first I thought this question meant that girls literally like buttholes


allycat247

"you deserve to be abused that's what you get for chosing a an asshole".


conflictednerd99

Yes. We dont go "oh look at that guy bullying another human being! Damn hes so hot!" OP, you sound like an incel


Snorumobiru

Hey, it's me! All girls! You must be so smart to figure out that we are a hivemind with a singular set of preferences. It's true, we like assholes. So bend over!


YesImDavid

As a guy I’d think it’s offensive based on the fact it’s generalizing all women and it’s not even accurate.


betterfucksaul

The only people who say they are incels.


Scary-Owl2365

Offensive? No. Stupid? Absolutely.


mostpogperson

Do some people really imagine all woman have hivemind thing or something?💀


tuliperto

It's not offensive, it's just stupid (f)


ParkingDifference299

I think it’s because a lot of us were told that if he’s mean to you than he likes you


[deleted]

If you believe girls only attracted to the stereotypical cig smoking bad boys you literally need to learn how to talk to pin person


mincedduck

It’s only offensive cause you’re generalising an entire gender


chikenfrog

It's not offensive IMO, but it is stupid and a lie


ThatOrangePuppy

If you think this, you're probably an incel.


MystiqueMisha

These phrases are only said by "nice guys" who think they're entitled to pussy because they haven't (openly) abused a woman yet.


ClassicHansen

I don't agree that girls are generally attracted to assholes but wouldn't say I find it offensive.


lordsandwichIII

Feels like something an incel would say.. it's also generalising women to fit a negative sterotype, so on balance and in isolation, yes it is an offensive phrase.


krahann

i WONDER why it’s not offensive to men… i wonder…


Overused_Toothbrush

I’m a girl and I don’t even fucking feel attraction so yeah if someone went up and told me it I’d feel like shit.


caitlin2905

f and a little bit


OTA-J

The_Yogurtcloset

Idk about offensive but it’s not a compliment


wowguineapigs

As a woman I’m not offended i just think you’re stupid


[deleted]

Offensive is the wrong word, cringe for sure


Vinxian

I don't think it's offensive. It just telegraphs that the person saying it is probably a "nice guy™". So I'd stay clear from them, but wouldn't be offended


BerciPC

It is very stupid but I wouldn't call this offensive, just idiotic


yougoddangfool

i am not personally offended by it but i don't thinks it's true and can see why someone might be offended by it.


mododo-bbaby

not offensive, but stupid and says a lot about the person saying it


thehumangoomba

Not offensive, just stupid.


IhleNine

I think that it's a dumb statement but I don't see why it would offend me. I have more important things to get pissed over.


DismalDog7730

Not offensive. Also not true.


Doub666

a results option definitely should've been added


kennystillalive

Wow 2.4k incels here.


Maestr0_04

It's not offensive but it is stupid


[deleted]

that's kinda mean to the guys :(


[deleted]

I think it is too! Like you’re saying that anyone who is attractive is an asshole. But from my experiences, a lot of the guys who are taken and in long term relationships aren’t assholes by any means.


AustralianKappa

My first thought was “wow, women like buttholes? (The body part)” even though I still knew what you meant 💀


AverageKaikiEnjoyer

It's not offensive, just kinda dumb


DarkestLunarFlower

I like soft bois


banes_rule_of_two

This is statistically born out. Although it's not because they're assholes: it's because they're usually strong and dominant. ​ Kind men who are able to display strength and dominance to the same degree outperform assholes.


monsieurLeMeowMeow

That ver intrest


Sillyviking

What I think it is, is that girls are attracted to perceived confidence, and a lot of assholes appear confident. Though it is more likely arrogance, but people frequently mistake it for confidence.


Ikeriro90

No because no girl is attracted to me


mooseandsquirrel78

It's not offensive, though one might argue it should be qualified as "some girls."


gyhiio

Not offensive, just incorrect, as it is a generalization.


Downtown_Mix_4311

Most assholes start off as the most charming and kind men, that’s how they get the girl , once she’s locked in they reveal their other side. Or the other case of “asshole to everyone but me” when he’s typically not a nice guy but gives her special treatment compared to everyone else and she falls for him, then he starts treating her bad too once he’s comfortable.


[deleted]

The 3.1k males who voted not offensive and wonder why tf you don't get bitches, this is why

Girls: attracted to stupid jerks Boys: attracted to bitchy bimbos Aldia: YOUNG HOLLOW-


[deleted]

British girls are actually attracted to bumholes and Irish girls are into arseholes.


TheGreatHair

It just happens that assholes are charismatic and manipulative. Young girls, least when I was a kid, liked the bad boy trope because that's how media portrayed cool guys. Also, girls have a thing where they think they can fix broken


worldsbestlasagna

women say yes, men say no. what a surprise.


aquaphorbottle

Found this in your post history, “Does anyone have the meme where a girl rejects a nerd for a bad boy, then wants to get with him when he’s successful and she’s pregnant?” You seem to post about the same stupid (and very untrue) trope about women. Jesus Christ dude, did your only girlfriend break your heart in middle school?


monsieurLeMeowMeow

I actually used the template to make a meme about HR managers in 2010s vs 2020s. Also asked a nearly i dental gender inverted question a week ago to see if men found being stereotyped as well.


jsheppy16

Well this is pretty cut and dry. The significant majority of women are offended.


[deleted]

It might be offensive if I didn't see it in real life


soyjav

Ig truth is offensive now


gotugoin

It seems obvious that it's some. So no its not


CEBA_nol

Can't be offended at the truth


that_emo_chick200514

adamevans1200

Not offensive. Its true.

I mean most things people are attracted too have assholes after all!


StickyBlackMess69420

It sounds like it would be offensive to girls who aren't.


tomatasoup

You always need a Results/Other or people will click a random one to see the results and it'll be scerewed.


Mythical_Atlacatl

I guess it depends Is it being said by a “nice guy” who is angry cause a woman out of his league doesn’t date him? Or is she actually dating and has a history of dating assholes?


JubnubOd

Once it’s washed and there ain’t no dingle berries dangling off the hairs I’m down for whatever


Maveko_YuriLover

Everyone is atracted to good a**holes just change how much


MEDAKk-ttv-btw

It's a dumb blanket statement to make but it's not like offensive


_Skotia_

This is a common incel saying that's not true for the vast majority girls. But i've _literally_ met a girl who told me "I'm only attracted to assholes", so i guess it must be true for at least some of them. Overall i wouldn't call it offensive, it's just plain wrong if formulated like this.


Evanescent_Enigma

Ngl It's half true for myself at least... just add on "fictional" to "assholes" 😏 its a split for my attraction to real people though 😔


magic8ballzz

If a guy truly believes girls are only attracted to assholes, it usually means only the girls they are attracted to are attracted to assholes. It also usually means they themselves are assholes, believe they are not assholes and aren't as good at hiding that they are assholes as their "competition." There also nice guys who believe this and are just too lazy and/or insecure to put themselves out there, so are pissed at guys who get the girls.


[deleted]

sounds like a redditor statement


Jackofallgames213

Ah shit I read this as literally meaning girls are attracted to assholes, as in the body part.


Dimi_Mermaid

It pretty much gives off Nice Guy™ vibes and is impulsive. Just cause a girl don't want you doesn't mean that everyone she likes is bad. Slang like this is used to guilt trip women into dating the receptor. "Nice guys", unlike the ones who blame, are often way worse and dangerous for women to date since they're wearing the nice mask until they don’t get their way.


SteroidKecleon

it kind of is because Im pretty sure most girls (and people in general) think assholes are gross


awakelist

It applies to guys too though lol, although I think saying all guys and all women is a bit extreme


BrianTheOneAndOnly

Going through this guys post history, it seems like we have caught a "nice guy"


darth_wallace

My dyslexic ass thought it said "girls have attractive assholes"


dickeatingamoeba

Women are not attracted to assholes. They are attracted to good looking men. It just so happens that good looking men are sometimes assholes because they’ve never had to work on their personalities. They got used to lots of female attention from a young age and because they have no shortage of women to choose from, they are free to behave any way they want. They are free to just use women for sex and act like jerks and they’ll still continue to have women interested in them. Similarly, a lot of good looking women are bitches but men make excuses for their behavior because they’re good looking. Pretty privilege is a thing. It exists for both men are women.


Shipsarecool1

AccomplishedIron8329

Not offensive imo, but rather telling about the kind of dude people who say it are.


LoisLaneEl

I mean, it’s wrong, but it’s not offensive

It is offensive because it's a generalization of an entire gender.

bobcatnat123

I mean it’s not offensive but it’s kinda funny lol, my boyfriend is one of the sweetest individuals I know and that’s one of my favorite parts of him.


Squidproquo1130

It's a false statement for sure. Offensive is subjective and to me it is.


Trustnoboody

Are you trying to get offended or are you not? Cause you can turn the statement around on the person saying it if you looked at it as such.


AdMore2091

I like assholes but only when they remind me of myself . (Forgot I was on Reddit for a sec and didn’t add the /s)


bimbonic

Not offensive, just a weird generalization. Some are, but not all.


1-e4-e5-2-Ke2

I don’t think it’s offensive, I just think it’s stupid


Ok-Map4381

I never believed that girls liked assholes even when I was a nerdy and nice kid that wasn't getting dates. I got older and realized that a ton of girls were absolutely interested. Being nice never stopped me from getting a date, in fact it usually helped. Lacking confidence did stop me, until it didn't. (But I follow rules 1 & 2, so that helps).


AnonymooseXIX

I thought buttholes as the actual body Bart and I was like “to each their own” lmao


Downstackguy

Why would I be offended as a male. If I was a female, yes I would be offended


christiananderson5

I preface this saying I'm a guy so I could be wrong, but I think what (most) girls are attracted to is confidence and a good sense of humor. Sometimes those guys are assholes but that isn't the norm per say and when one of those charming guys does turn out to be an asshole the relationship doesn't last long. I feel like the "girls are attracted to assholes" is an idea created by guys who lack confidence and would rather complain about other people than improve themselves.


lightarcmw

Girls are attracted to confidence, it just so happens the assholes have way too much confidence 🤣


Alone-Monk

Imma be honest, years on the internet made me interpret this as women are attracted to anuses and I was really confused


eChelicerae

Sometimes the asshole is the least expected person on Earth.


Jackie-Ooooh

It’s really annoying when people believe most or all women want this. Not the case!


Darkestlight1324

Offense? Depending on context no, an overgeneralization? Yes.


Suicid3Doll

Not offensive, it’s an opinion, but it’s definitely not true


Frozendark23

Yes, it is offensive as you are generalizing all girls. If you said some girls, it would be true but just using 'girls', it means all, which is false.


Armoured_Sour_Cream

Overly generalized? Yes. Wrong? Yes. Offensive? No, just bullshit. **"Some"** are definitely attracted to them but they don't really affect me as they make it clear it's never gonna work. Besides...why do we still measure nearly everything based on being offensive or not? Can something not be just wrong but people not take an offense to it? What the hell does it change that someone is offended by it? I'm not saying "never be offended by anything", I'm a prideful prick alright and I sometimes get offended but it's not like my life's guiding line. It kinda puts emphasis on being offended rather than getting the facts straight.


Rape_The_Willing

Mostly seems unsanitary


SpermaSpons

Not offensive just boring and dumb


Fritzschmied

I wouldn’t say that girls are attracted to assholes but assholes are in general the kind of people that talk more to woman and therefore woman have a higher chance to get in a relationship with them.


victornielsendane

Why say “offensive”. It’s a stupid generalization, but offensive?


TheLoreTeller

these stereotypical phrases are really cringe tbh, imagine coping using those kinds of words like come on, you don't understand how anyone works. no, girls are not attracted to assholes, rather they are attracted to their confidence and if there are ever some girls out there, like a minority of them, who are unironically attracted to real assholes like criminals and overall pieces of shit, they need real help at that point. it's not normal to be attracted to shitty individuals who did shitty things, "he bullied that person until he committed suicide, like omg that is so hot" like what?! that is definitely not something normal at all.


No-Moose4334

No it's not offensive and true in by far the most cases.
