I was reading a conversation on Facebook where some one said that "many girls like assholes". I tried to google it, but I couldn't get the exact meaning of the word. Who are assholes in this sentence? and does the word have other meanings?
Is it a slang?

In the context where you've seen this remark, I assume the word is a synonym for jerk, which means:
I'd guess that the conversation that you allude to was more or less talking about the "bad boy" phenomenon. As one columnist wrote:
I can't say if this is reality, myth, or urban legend, but there is a lot of serious discussion on the topic. As for why it's true (or if it's true), that would be a question for Cognitive Sciences – but at least you now know what the phrase is talking about.
