Curious why those who are the most polarizing seem to have the most friends (jealous, female)

I work with hundreds of people in the ER (mainly female RNs, 24-50 y.o.) I seem to notice that there are a few people that are very polarizing, obnoxious and just really mean. One wouldn't think they'd have many friends, but it seems like these undesirables have the most people that flock around them. I'm curious what peoples take on this is? I know everyone has different tastes and opinions, but honestly, there are a few people that are just horrible, rude, think they know everything. People that nauseate me, yet people flock to them!
Turds attract turds and the world is full of 'em (so it seems)!
Does this come as a shock to you?
Are you jealous or wish you were one of these turdheads?
As an IT guy, I worked at different companies with people from all kinds of culture and education level.
Oddly enough, to most annoying, demanding, snobbiest, egotistic sobs were the highly educated and/or in high positions.
I couldn't count the number of times where I hold the door and waited more than a few seconds for people who walked right through without a thank you, a smile or even a nod, like they weren't expecting anything less than being treated like a royalty. I say good morning and get a blank stare. They are blocking the hallway while chatting and I gently say "excuse me" with a smile and they give me a bothered "how dare you interrupt me while I am chatting about sh.ts and giggles" look instead of seeing me coming and moving their arses out of the way. Same thing when I cross someone thru a tight passage and I might be carrying something big/heavy and instead of moving aside and letting me pass, they actually walk unhindered forcing me to move aside, stop, etc.
This is workplace where people are highly educated and in good positions but clearly it doesn't mean the person has good manners or class.
Again, it seems the world is full of them. People with manners and kind hearts do exist but I fear, they are often overlooked or taken for granted.

Maybe they don't think that they are polarising, obnoxious and really mean?.
Or they just have insecure people that surround them and seeking their approval?
Personally I don't like people like that and I don't give them the time of day..... It works wonders

I think polarizing people make friends because people are attracted to honesty. I typically find mean and polarizing people are very honest. When I was really mean a few years ago, I had people left and right wanting to be my friend.

Because they aren't boring, probably
