Bullies have more sex appeal and a higher social standing than everyone else, research has found.

Child bullies are well adjusted people who are coldly calculating and intimidate others because it makes them more popular.

Later in life they have more dates and more sex than the rest of their former classmates, the study showed.

Simon Fraser University criminologist Jennifer Wong surveyed 135 teenagers from a high school in Vancouver with a questionnaire about bullying.

The pupils were asked how often they were hit, kicked or shoved and from that they were divided into categories; bully, bystander, victim or victim-bully.

The results showed that bullies, who accounted for around 11 per cent of the group, scored highest when it came to social status and self-esteem.

They also came lowest when it came to depression.

‘When you’re in high school, it’s a very limited arena in which you can establish your rank, and climbing the social ladder to be on top is one of the main ways.

‘Bullying is a tool you can use to get there.’

Mr Volk said: ‘They have the good social skills, they’re just using them in a bad way’.

Not only that, they get more sex too.

Mr Volk said: ‘Our preliminary research shows that they do have more dates but in particular the data is really clear for sex behaviour.

‘Bullies as young adolescents or as university students are getting more sexual partners and are less likely to be virgins than victims or people who are not involved in bullying.’

Doesn't that partially settle the "nice guy" argument? Statistical data is showing that they're actually getting the shaft here.

Humans are just animals. We have intelligence but so much is still similar to animals. Bullies are like the alphas. We like to think theyll get the just deserts but often time they just go and succeed while their victims fail.

Bullies aren't all bad, a lot of people have bettered themselves to get back at bullies and they have them to thank really. I think society needs bullies in a way but its just a shame that these poor coddled, soft weak children that we are producing now now can't handle a little rousing anymore so we outlawed all forms of bullying and became a lame pussified society.

Bullies basically prepare us for the real world. They are necessary imo, they are doing a great service to the world. Such selfless people tbh.

Pretty much. People put too much stock in the concepts of happy endings and karma.

And then in reality just as many were actually spoiled by their parents and are getting sports scholarships.

Honestly, I think the only people who legitimately believe in happy endings are those who weren't bullied.

The bullies I knew in high school were complete idiots who had to cheat just to pass the easiest electives. I seriously doubt they're doing all that well in life, unless they have good connections or something.


The study had nothing to do with that. Chances are they are still fuck ups, but they probably also feel good about themselves and got laid a ton.

Not necessarily...As a former 'bully' my intention was to get the person I was picking on to stand up for themselves and make them stronger. I just wanted to see everyone be successful, especially the ones that were lowest on the totem pole. I knew bullies that were relentless and didn't care at all and that always pissed me off, they were a total disgrace to the bully game. I got in many fights with those jerks.

Doesn't always work...when finally pissed off enough to fight back I punched the guy in the throat then a knee to the face while he was still stunned....from that point i was treated like i was gonna go columbine at any minute.

Well most bullies weren't like you. They didn't give a fuck about the person they were bullying and absolutely wanted to just put them down or worse.



Yea i've never actually seen the "good-guy" bully that they like to portray in some teen movies.

Surprising absolutely no one.

Mr Volk said his findings showed that 10percent of bullies are what he called %u2018bully victims%u2019 who are what we imagine them to be; children who learned their behavior from other people such as their parents.
But the other 90percent are what he called %u2018pure bullies%u2019 who %u2018don%u2019t seem to show any kind of social or cognitive deficits%u2019.
Mr Volk said: %u2018They have the good social skills, they%u2019re just using them in a bad way%u2019.


I've been saying this for years. Most bullies aren't bullies because of a shitty home life, they're just assholes.


You're looking at things too black and white. A shitty homelife doesn't always turn you into a shitty person and conversely, it isn't always looked at as a bad thing. That article is probably talking about abuse as opposed to just an alcoholic parent or a bad older sibling and shit like that.

The reason bullies get girls is because they often have more life experience. They're not afraid of shit and they're usually the ones introducing people to older concepts.

The two often go hand in hand since most bullies are verbal and lots of it is usually directed at making fun of people for not having the same kinds of experience in one form or another.

The studies old but I bet you similar results would be produced with the changes we've made to our classifications, concepts, and terms
