No...women do not like people who are assholes and play on people's insecurities. No healthy person likes that.
Social "dominance" is about being charismatic and influential within a group.
It's not about over-riding people's preferences. It's not about playing on insecurities. Rather, it's about making people comfortable and helping them to achieve their ends.
In the least convenient universe where women did like that, are you really willing to endorse unethical actions in pursuit of mating?
I was talking about dominating others, women wanting men who do that, and men not being so interested in women who do that.
You seem to be using "social dominance" as a synonym for social status. Yes, everyone likes social status. Men get it by dominating others. Women don't.
I don't see winning as unethical. I don't see giving women what they respond to as unethical. Some people like S&M. Is a little pain "unethical", if that's what someone responds to?
Roland made a new thread, so as not to derail this one with the PUA stuff.
See my comment there, where I make my position on when "dominant" becomes "asshole" more clear, and let me know if you still disagree.
