Saying - as I have on some occasions in the past - that "a lot of women are attracted to assholes" is misogynistic bullshit. I can’t believe I once seriously believed that.

because it dosen't treat them simply as human beings.
It's a remark that groups all women together and says something negative and untrue about them colectively. In saying "they like jerks" it is implied that those women don't know what's good for them. That they make bad choices, stupid choices. And when making this a generlization on a lot, most, or all women, you are saying that women don't know what's good for them. Those weak, stupid ladies. And you don't even realize it when you say it.

Mostly, I think, a statment like that is a way of blaming other people for your difficulties. So the fact that you changed your mind about it implies that you're ready to start taking care of the problem at your end (and it isn't as big a problem is you might think). And that's always a good thing.

In my experience, the guys who get the most dates are the nice, open, friendly types who just talk to a lot of people. But maybe I'm biased.

It could be wrong or not - don't know. But stated like that, I hardly think it's hateful...
