Look at most bold women and the jokes that people make about them being "bitches" or "cold" or what not.

I would respond "bold" men are often called "predators" and "douchebags" by the very same people. I find that there are always people who dislike those who put their necks out, no matter their sex.



I'd say that there are fewer women that are both bold and well-liked than men. Admittedly this is just my opinion, and I don't have any numbers to back it up.


The relevant question, however, is whether (# well liked && bold) / (# bold) is larger for men than for women. You may observe very few bold and well liked women merely because # bold women is low.
