In my case, you're wrong, the guy is like a tank, insecurity is not the case. I see some people trying to "dig deeper":

  • "maybe the women have insecurities, so it is them who are to blame"
  • "maybe the asshole is not an asshole, he just has a childhood trauma"
    No, he is a confident asshole, and his "charm" works one some women (and not each of them falls into made-up categories). People look for patterns too much. "I'm a red-piller" - lol, that's a first.
    Note, I'm not protecting the guy, but he is not a comic-book villain with an origin story. He just happens to be successful in finding one-night stands because of a personal trait.

the guy is like a tank

a lot of people who over-invest on physical attributes have serious insecurities.

I hold to my premise. it in no way discredits him being an asshole in his coping with these issues.

Not strong like a tank, I meant by attitude. Ok, you invent whatever person you want in your head.
