I'd like to expand, because even though the original post has a lot of truth in it, it is far from the whole truth.

First of all we need to realize that the "beta man", "bluepiller", whatever you prefer to call it is a modern creation. This type of man didn't exist before in history, because it is an unnatural form of existence, it is a child born to be a man but forced by the environment to be a woman. Yes, gender is a social construct and the proof are these men. Their brain programming is the same as a woman, they think and act like women on a fundamental level. This is extremely unnatural and women reject this as a sexual partner in the same way us men would reject a woman with an unnaturally shaped body or unnatural behavior.

But of course there's not only betas and assholes, what about the balanced, rational men? In today's society these kind of men are so rare that a woman do not have any set prejudices about them as she's met so few. They will prefer stereotypical assholes that they are familiar with and can easily categorize. Socializing and group thinking is the most important thing occupying a woman's brain, a guy that neither behaves like a beta or an asshole appears to her as clearly not understanding the society he lives in. Why does this strange man not fall in line? This is key to why it is so much easier to connect with people and especially women in foreign cultures. She will accept your behavior without the same prejudices since you are from an unknown society with unknown rules.

The woman is aware of the "asshole" guys reputation as an "asshole" so she is more comfortable spending time with him because he will take the focus away from her flaws. Since slut-shaming has been abolished in our society, she will not be scrutinized for giving herself to an asshole. However since he's an asshole with a lot of faults she thinks he will have a lot more tolerance of her faults. People feel comfortable around people they think will not judge them.

Lastly the way women and men value other men is totally different. A man will value other men based on their integrity, loyalty and honor. A man will always make his own judgement of another man's worth, regardless of the other man's place in society. That is why male companionship is such a strong bond. It is something created by two individuals, not a function of group rank. For a woman however, loyalty , integrity and honor are alien concepts. She is created by evolution to not be able to understand these concepts in their pure forms. Her sole way of judging men are by their rank in the group, and since she doesn't have the mental capacity to make a qualified judgement she has to use symptoms. That is why game works. She will understand a man treating her a lower value as a man of higher value. She will understand a man being confident as a man having reason for that confidence (and she is right, because being a man is reason alone to be confident).

For the posters replying that women don't like real assholes, they like confident men and it's just jealous betas calling them assholes - you're right! I'm far from an asshole, but I've been treated called it and treated as such too many times by girls and betas. It is because women only have two categories to put men in. It's either beta(=woman in a mans body) or confident/asshole. For her sexual attraction it doesn't really matter if you are just confident or if you're a true dick. She will never have the capacity to understand the difference between these two, because her brain is created by evolution to categorize men into two categories: Those men she wants to have sex with and those she doesn't.

And as betas are women brains in male bodies and therefore they will also be quick to put any confident guy or rival in the asshole category.
