Why are a lot of men I've met egotistical?

No offense but that's what I've observed and I'm old already!

I would have to say I have come across self centred men as well as women. Today it seems more people are only out for themselves.

I know quite a lot of really nice men, kind, thoughtful and unselfish people

@SW-User I do too. I guess it was just my luck haha. And I was more referring to the dating scene not really in any other situation!

Not all Men are
Not all women are empathic either

@SW-User Very true 1000%!

Patriarchal societies tend to have more men conditioned to be so.
But we all have ego. Female ego shows in covert ways again because of conditioning.

It’s the bat suit isn’t it? Gives off the wrong vibe

{@lovelyladybug ] it maybe a case you just have been unfortunate to meet so many self centred men . ha ha i can promise you if you keep trying you will get one that is not in the end 😆

@smiler2012 Well I just went out on a date last night with this guy and I think he's one of the nicest men I've met in a long time so yeah that's true! 🙂

@LovelyLadybug ha ha ha there you go we are all not stereotype self centred pigs 😆 hope you have another date and it flourishes into a good things for you both
LovelyLadybug · 36-40, F
@smiler2012 I hope so too! I'm excited to see where this is going to go but I am naturally the type to takes things slow just because of things I've been through with relationships and all...

Women definitely have an advantage when it comes to empathy that’s science :)
SW-User
@bijouxbroussard culture definitely is a factor! And I’m not trying to suck up lol a lot of studies show men have an advantage with spatial reasoning
LovelyLadybug · 36-40, F
@SW-User I don't know if that's true. I've actually had nice men become my friends ... but I've also had bad experiences with certain men. I guess it isn't right to really generalize but it's hard not to.

I know that women can be JUST as egotistical but I remember several particular guys that friendzoned me even though they didn't look that good or had a lot of good qualities even lol.

@LovelyLadybug true everybody can be selfish! I guess my basic point is that there are somewhat significant differences between the male and female brains, and those differences could give one sec on AVERAGE an advantage at certain tasks. But you’re right you it’s not good to generalize because plenty of women have more male typical brain set-up and vice versa

Most men I met in my life were rather unselfish.

@LovelyLadybug Sure, gullible people are taken advantage of....but they will also attract people like themselves. The principle stands. One does not negate the other.
LovelyLadybug · 36-40, F
@uncleshawn Umm, okay where did you get this info from??! I've seen couples work out where they had nothing except for sex in common! ...Or maybe they forced it!
uncleshawn · 41-45, M
@LovelyLadybug You're not understanding. Never mind. Have a good one.
cycleman · 61-69, M
hmmm ... it's not good to stand up for yourself?
LovelyLadybug · 36-40, F
@cycleman I do that.
cycleman · 61-69, M
@LovelyLadybug my line was directed to guys who do and then are knocked for being too egotistical
TheLordOfHell · 41-45
Nah I'm not
Justenjoyit · 61-69, M
I am not 😊
A lot of men you’ve met. Not necessarily indicative of men in general. And plenty of women are lacking in empathy-hence the “mean girl” syndrome.

@bijouxbroussard That's true!
