Life Like
Why does looking out for number one and generally treating people like dirt get you far in life?
In terms of a career and sexual prowess.
In terms of career,obviously if you don`t limit your boundaries and are prepared to do whatever it takes to get ahead,you will always be one step ahead of your competitors if they are playing by the rules,or ethics you consider yourself not to be bound by. It would undoubtedly give them an advantage. It`s generally called `unbridled ambition` and is a major asset to those aiming to get to the top.
In terms of relationships etc,there`s the term `treat `em mean,keep `em keen`,that I`m sure everyone has heard. This is more a question tailored to certain individuals rather than a hard set rule. Generally people dislike a partner that is needy and seeks constant reassurance. They prefer traits like strength,self-assurance and confidence. They seek excitement,fun,pleasure in all it`s guises. It`s impossible to get right into this multifaceted question here & now,but it`s mostly about individual personality types & needs and certain character types latching onto others that may be counter to their own but provide something that they lack within themselves. The downside being they are ultimately incompatible. Whilst one is termed the `bastard` ,the other is termed the `victim`,though it`s nobodies fault when often the `victim` was seeking something that was never on offer personality-wise,or even evident in the character of the other to begin with.
Overall in career this personality type will generally go quite far as long as they have the necessary complimentary skills to do the job. But in relationships they generally fail to ever find any real lasting contentment themselves. They`re just not made that way,simple as that. Though as I`ve said already,it`s impossible to go thoroughly into such a question properly here as it is so multifaceted and requires it to be drawn more upon certain individual rather than a wide generalisation.
