Why am I drawn to women who are full of themselves?

[Anonymous]

I always seem to be attracted to women who are full of themselves, I think it's that I love their confidence, even if it's overconfidence, but I can't say for sure.

Hmm, that's an interesting question, dude. I can see how someone who is really confident and self-assured could be attractive. There's definitely something to be said for that kind of charisma and swagger.

But I gotta say, those "full of themselves" types can also be a lot to handle, you know? The overconfidence can sometimes cross the line into straight-up arrogance or narcissism. And that can be a real turn-off after a while.

I think part of the appeal is the thrill of the chase, trying to win over someone who seems so self-assured. There's a challenge to it that can be exciting. But long-term, that kind of dynamic isn't always the healthiest.

At the end of the day, you gotta ask yourself what you're really looking for in a partner. Is it just surface-level confidence, or do you want someone who is secure in themselves but also humble and caring? Someone who lifts you up, not just expects to be adored.

You might want to do some reflecting on why that "full of themselves" type draws you in so much. There could be some deeper stuff going on there that's worth unpacking. Just something to think about, you know?

Anyway, don't be too hard on yourself. We all have our type, for better or worse. The key is finding someone who complements you and your needs, not just someone who seems impressive on the outside. You got this, dude.

Well it could definitely be confidence but just be aware of the red flags someone whose too self absorbed will probably not contribute a lot in a relationship and it will be very one sided.

@summeroflove
I've been dating a woman who's full of herself and I've enjoyed it, most of our dates are her talking about her and I've enjoyed listening, she recently called me her boyfriend.

Well okay

People who project a strong sense of self-worth can be perceived as powerful and capable. That probably has something to do with it.

Because narcissistic women are generally the most manipulative of women. They stroke your ego just enough to entice you to stroke thiers continuously, whereas most likely other women give you limited interaction.

Am I warm?

Good women in general are not aggressive. They put themselves in your proximity and hope you'll pick up on hints to start conversations with them. Manipulative women do not do that they appear confident because they take a full frontal assault with men. Because these know that men do not typically recieve attention from women like that.

The best advice I can give you is listen to what she's saying. A narcissist generally does not take interest in you. She'll want to know what buttons of yours to push to get your motor going. But she won't really give a damn about what you think, about anything. Because she ONLY wants your attention.
