Interesting, I guess we guys have just one option left, although it isn`t easy:

It seems that women are now increasingly becoming the FIRST to make a move towards the bedroom ... they see what they want and go for it (as social taboos on the issue of casual sex seem to have relaxed certainly in Europe and the US) ... the length of any following relationship is also becoming shorter as a result of the womans disappointment in the targetted mans abilities to change into their "ideal man"... for many women it seems that "perfection is a constant work in progress".

Women have become more socially independant, and more powerful in the work place too, which I'm guessing gives them the confidence to live life as they wish , which includes taking on more traditionally "male" traits such as the sexual predator...

I like the other article linked from that one.  The writer is applying simple economc theory to the dating and mating marketplace.  #4 in Mankiw's list in fact: "People respond to incentives.  Behavior changes when costs or benefits change."

Getting back to the original topic, there are incentives for behaving like a jerk.  If it didn't work, men wouldn't do it.

i think this is something happens all around. 

That cat looks evil.

I also like this other article

... "Essentially then, some women choose to "attach" to men who are cooperative, agreeable, supportive, and often take their lead in areas the woman finds important. From a cultural standpoint, men who are categorized as "disagreeable," "opinionated," or expect women to "acquiesce" may be considered unappealing as "attachment" partners.

Unfortunately, however, many of those "culturally undesirable" male traits are similar and overlapping with the traits that are biologically "attractive." Although not always true, often the man who is intelligent, high status, and ambitious will be unlikely to take a back seat, follow, and submit in a romantic relationship. Generally speaking, men who have "leadership characteristics" may want to lead in many situations." ...

Very true. And since we cannot change men, maybe it's time for western women to change their perception of male dominant traits? Elsewhere, men are not supposed to be as supportive and caring etc. as we expect them to be here, even though they do care and support of course. Simply because the woman can count on many other people (family, etc.) for that. And probably also, we are too well-off here. In a country where the economy is bad and/or where there is more violence, having a strong, socially well-respected man who can provide for you and ensure you will be alright has much more value, therefore you are more likely to ignore his "bad temper" :)
