I think you're just having a hard time understanding women. Some women like men who just assert themselves, do whatever they want, and have complete disregard for other people. Those same women also end up in toxic relationships pathologically. They'll keep chasing bad boys until the end of their days. Others would rather you be delicate, compassionate, and even submissive. And there are some who are in the middle. Due to genetics, everybody is different. You're probably having bad luck.

Kindness is a valuable asset in life. If you've just met someone, or you're trying to maintain a relationship with someone, kindness is key to success. Whether you like it or not. I've watched my Dad do this my entire life, combined with his natural skills to talk to people, to his advantage.

Collaboration is necessary in life. And if you, the asshole finds yourself in a pool of nice people, you'll be the first person out. If everybody was an asshole, society would literally collapse. People favor niceness.
