Maybe "jerks" is too strong here, but certainly not being their genuine natural (and sometimes vulnerable) imperfect selves.
Because women (especially young women) tend to prefer strong, assertive, confident men? And 'jerkishness' is what results when someone who doesn't have confidence, pretends to?
