I have to say that this is only an American phenomena.

Guys like him wont go anywhere in Europe. With his antics he will look like yet another american idiot.

I remember in college in the US, getting drunk and doing stupid things was like a badge of honor. Saying "man I was so trashed last night", was like "oh I am so cool, I can drink alcohol".

While back home, If you get trashed, means: 1. You are not man enough to handle alcohol, 2. You have no self control. 3. You look like an idiot, and girls wont touch you.

Maybe that's why I don't date american girls. Messed up values.

I don't think it's only an American phenomena. Your example is only about the lowest common denominator of what happens in America but the main thesis of the article seems to work in any setting. The self-centered, narcissistic male usually ends up sleeping with more women than the courteous, humble male. Maybe it's a matter of self-confidence and the narcissist displays it better but women are really bad at discriminating between narcissism and real self-confidence. In the end nobody likes a wimp with low-self esteem but it seems that being an asshole is a sure way to imitate confidence.
