In highschool I found that the more of an asshole I was, the more friends and girls I got. It just seemed like the more I pushed and the worst I acted, the better things turned out. I hit on a girl, she was shy and demurred away, so I functionally sexually assaulted her in the hallway, fondled her and made her kiss me. She became my girlfriend and gave me my first blowjob.
But the same was true for guys too. The more I shat on my friends and bullied them, publicly embarrassing and teasing them, the bigger my friend circle got.
I always chalked it up to confidence and people gravitating toward a dominant personality, but I've always wondered if people are just generally masochistic and seek out others who mistreat them.
