Does it boost your ego when you receive a lot of attention from the opposite sex?

[Still-alive]

So as a guy does it burst your ego to receive a lot of attention from women?

And as a girl receiving a lot of attention from men?

Yes it's an ego boost for me

No it doesn't boost my ego

It depends on how attractive they are. If they are attractive it is an ego boost, if they aren't then its not

It depends on the type of attention they give me (like flirting vs just talking for example)

It depends on something else (say what)

Urgh. I hate how this sounds, but it's honest. I got to a certain "number" and decided if I hadn't found what I was looking for, I wasn't going to find it. So I "retired" from dating. I just said, "Nope, not going to do it anymore. I will be an old crazy (dog) lady with a vibrator and a dildo."

My reasons for it are—I'm tired of playing dating games, and I felt like having any more notches in my bedpost made me an STD risk. So I quit while I was ahead.

And then? Once I was no longer looking, any interest became... creepy. It shouldn't have been. It wouldn't have been if I was receptive to it. I've found ignoring the signals and playing "dumb" usually stops that thought in its tracks (for him), and then it becomes a flattering one-time "compliment", but if they keep dropping hints, it's creepy because my receptors are turned off to it.

how is ego related to the attention I could get from men?

[Still-alive]

It can make some people feel desired or something

[IslaTheWitch]

my ego is in the wrong place then :D

it's not connected to men and their attention for sure :D

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

@IslaTheWitch there are many people who attach compliments and attention from others to their ego and how proud they are of themselves. I agree with you it's not the best situation.

[IslaTheWitch]

@MiddleAgedClimbee thanks, i started to think it's something wrong with me or my ego :D

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

Not a chance😊

[zeitgeist057]

It's not really for women, since men give attention without regard to value, it's worthless.

[Slim57]

What attention lol? But yeah when it rarely does happen, but it depends what kind of attention

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, it's an ego boost for me.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

It does usually overwhelm me eventually 😂

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I voted 2nd one

[noamazia]

i barely talked to girls. i just had my guy friends.
but recently i found 2 female friends whom i talk to almost daily now. that attention is purely that of friendship so no, it doesn't boost my ego. but i do feel more confident talking to women since it doesn't feel alien to me anymore. i know how to act normal.

the only thing someone did that boosted my ego in someway is when i got complimented by women. BUT NEVER WHEN THEY SAID "HOW COME YOU DONT HAVE A GIRLFRIEND?"

[Ms_Facesitter]

It doesn't boost my ego. But it does let me know that I'm doing it right and am attractive which is good. It's just a "keep doing what you're doing".

[menina]

It depends on whether I find them attractive or not. But then again, I rarely see attractive men where I live, so I don't experience this often. 😂😂😂

[valentina4eva]

i think it’s an ego boost for meee😅😅 depending on the day sumtimes option #1, sumtimes #3 😇😇

[mandyfire98]

Yeah it's an ego boost for sure unless it gets out of hand or creepy.

[WhitneySnow]

Of course. It would boost anyone’s ego. But I don’t act on it because I have a boyfriend.

[WhitneySnow]

Actually the more I read the poll choices the more I think the third and fourth choices are both valid. If I don’t find them attractive, or if they just say hi in passing, it probably won’t be an ego boost for me.

[katiesmuff]

It more depends on the kind of attention I'm getting.

[LiamJHayden]

It depends upon whether she is into me or just into what she thinks she can manipulate out of me.

[SeaStorm1]

i'm only prefer to be talking but much interested in having tons of attentions from unwanted men or men that are attracted to me but i'm not been to attracted to some men.

[Ladyblanche]

Not for me. I am bored and sick of it
