There are men who chose women who mistreat them, sometimes one such woman after another, but I've never heard anyone say "men prefer bitches".

I think the hypothesis would be that women choose men who are "jerks" partly because they are jerks, while men choose women who are "jerks" because they just don't care so much about personality traits, and/or despite those women being jerks.

Examining this hypothesis would require an operationalization of "jerk."

Wouldn't it, though? I wish that would happen, and I wonder why at least a sketch of a definition hasn't emerged yet.

Does this count? I think there are more too.

I'm almost certain that at least one has.

I saw a list of possible meanings somewhere in this discussion, but I don't remember a follow-up of what particular people have in mind.
