Naw, not necessarily. Like, the opposite isn't true, either.
But what it seems like is that women get enough attention that they can form their egos around it. So their egos are often externally-sourced and dependent on constant validation.
Guys get hardly any attention. So most of our egos are internally sourced. It means we are more independent of the external validation, but it also means our egos aren't as accurate to what people actually think about us, and that they are relatively fragile because every comment carries so much weight.
I guess your ego becomes fragile based on the source. Women seem to have externally-formed egos that are externally fragile, and guys seem to have internally-formed egos that are internally-fragile.
Though I will say, nothing gets me quite like a girl saying "not enough people called me beautiful today" or "women need to be told they are beautiful to properly function." It sounds like going to a starving child and saying "Ugh, I can only afford to eat salads today." or going to an orphan and talking about how your parents didn't validate you enough.
Absolutely, Women can't take criticism without it getting personal.
Honestly I think women do but just don't realise it. In the past I would find it so insulting if man rejected me especially if I thought he was less attractive then myself. I'd think to myself "what's wrong with me?" Because Id been so used to pretty privilege I just thought I was intitled to men and everything else that came with being pretty and when I didn't get that I would act rude or in shock.
Now I've moved past the phase in my life I feel really embarrassed about it and see I had a ego problem I wasn't even aware of at the time besides being shy I thought because I was pretty I was some how above others
Men have bigger egos. This is why vast majority of men don't like to date women who are more successful, educated, make more money than they do. This is the same reason why men tend to be considered "leaders of the household" who makes all the big decisions. If men didn't have big egos, then why was society historically always been patriarchal in every part of the world. If you take a look at a couple driving, its always the man driving the car while the woman sits in the passenger seat. Women are more likely to be insecure , but they don't tend to be more egotistical. There is a difference between those two words

Yes. Women absolutely have bigger egos than men. It’s a stereotype that men are the ones with the larger ego when women are so god damned entitled in today’s day/age/society. Women have so much that “empowers” them like self objectification, Women’s History Month, Feminism, etc. What do men have that bolster their egos? I honestly can’t think of anything. I’m sure men used to, but sense EVERYTHING is about women now, they’re the ones with the booster ego entitlement syndrome yet hide behind that victim mentality to make it seem like they’re still these perfect fragile little angels when they’re not
Why is anyone surprised 🤷🏻♂️ It’s not complicated as we do not possess Goodness. Nor can we enlighten or educate ourselves into Goodness, therefore, the construct of a Great Human Society, is an impossibility.
-We are fallen and when we exercise our free choice we do not use Goodness as the measure by which to choose. We use perceived Self-Interest. So yes, all people are Egotistical and Self-serving.
-As a society we have been fed Rogerian thinking that evolves around Self. Self-Identity, Self-Concept, Self-Realization Self-Safety etc…. We love and worship our fallen Selves, therefore, Secular Humanism as well as Moral Relativism emerges.
-No Absolutes and each do what is right as interpreted by their INDIVIDUAL SELF. Without Grace and Goodness, “there is nothing new under the sun”(on this Earth) either individually or societally.
Men have bigger egos we get a compliment from an old lady and we feel on top of the world we have bigger and stronger egos as a man who is attractive I'll tell you we aren't meant to be getting the compliments girls get because it really really gets to our heads only 1 percent of men get compliments like women and it messes with our self perception women on the other hand all that validation just helps them double down truth is women have fragile weak egos and can't handle rejection they say they're 10s because they need a 10 not because they actually believe it women panic if they dont get the hot guy of their dreams no they just pretend to be all that
Honestly I have to agree to some extend. Most guys like confident and secure women... but at the same time when you're on line dating you find a lot of the women have inflated egos, because they get a lot of validation from randoms and they let it go to their head.
In my youth I would put up with it honestly because I just wanted to get laid. Yes I got the 8s and 10s... but these days I date 6s and 7s now because they are more realistic about who they really are and don't put unrealistic expectations on men.
Hey ladies I am no slump myself I am 8 to 10 to a lot of other ladies as well... so just because you get a lot of validation from 1s to 7s you need to put it into perspective okay?
Confidence comes with those that “know their worth”. That being said women get a lot of support from society and the government and even more attention from men in particular reinforcing this worth. This issue is their worths not tied to merit so much as their gender and looks.
Most average women will get more likes with the right pose or clothing then even the hottest men. Have a popularity contest between 2 women, one who’s hot and poor attitude and one who’s average and a great personality, and run it men that don’t know these women. This reinforces these hot and toxic women’s perception of themselves…
It really comes down to the individual. One of the big issues with social media is how it breeds groupthink. So people get so caught up in seeing people as part of a larger group rather then individuals. Because they are so caught up in their groupthink to see people as individuals.
Think of it from a scientific perspective for a moment. To prove that women have bigger egos then men you would have to do a series of experiments that records the ego of every man and women and compares them. Also what it means for a person to has a big ego will vary between people there will be a massive list of variables that need to be considered. So this the kind of series of experiments that could take the lifetime of many, many scientists to gather data for if it's even possible to gather all the data needed.
Do to that such as statement is a statement that is more then likely impassable to prove.
I noticed over the years that women can’t handle rejection as well men (are expected) to. They will get all pissy and take cheap shots like calling the guy “probably gay”. Huge double standard.
Also as for ego I noticed many women are more selfish than men. They are more entitled. The whole “friéndzone” debate is a perfect example of this. Women feel less guilty about taking advantage of a man they are not attracted to then vice versa. There is actually very little a woman can offer to a man as a platonic friends. They never have a solid answer on exactly what value they provide to the man in those scenarios.
From an evolutionary perspective i think there I think there was a time in history women had to be selfish for survival purposes. Unfortunately these instincts are still making many of them act this way.
Anyway there are exceptions both ways with this. But this is just what I have observed.
Some guys have big egos in different ways. For example when talking about sex, this one it's terrible with most guys. They'll act like they're a sex god bragging about it when they're probably not good in bed when asking their exes. Another one some guys brag about their dicks... I get grossed out and irritated when some guys do this, please shut up. Some guys act like they're the best at everything having such a gigantic ego, or they think they know everything, or never wrong in their minds. Some guys it's impossible for them to admit they're wrong.
Women on the other hand, from my experience, most are so insecure, it's about wanting or needing attention, validation, not an ego thing. There are women with big egos that are so stubborn, it's nearly impossible to change her mind about something she feels strongly towards no matter how much proof is thrown at her when she's wrong.
Men are egotistical as fuck also! They're just better at hiding it. Women like to flaunt material shit, half a bitch can't even afford bc she got bills/rent to pay but she'll still buy a Fendi or Gucci purse to mk her status higher!. A man will get a loan if he can't afford the new car or refinance a few times on the house since he's been late on the mortgage. But it's not so easy for people to find out he did that. So he'll lie he got a new car and bought his own home blah blah..
After dealing with the juvenile guy I had to all day because I once turned him down for a casual intimate relationship and then told him maybe I would consider it because I made a mistake and now he's being a huge dick, I'd say some guys have waaaay more fragile egos.
Men have bigger egos in the sense of thinking they're experts and love trying to one-up other guys. Women have bigger egos concerning looks, sex, needing attention, having a God complex in believing they can change a man, and believing they are right just because they’re women.
Ego isn't gender based, men who use "alpha" as a self descriptor, and women who fish for compliments, are typically ego driven.
Anyone who gets mad when they are wrong or when they lose at something competative is ego driven.
Ego driven people in general are a waste of time to be around.
I beg to differ.. in my opinion, depends on the individual, not gender.. There are some old guys in their 50s and 60s thinking they're Brad Pitt and George Clooney and going after girls in their late teens who early 20s. I knew a guy in his 50s calling any woman over 23 a hag.. Let's be honest, if you were that good-looking, you wouldn't be still single for all this time
Mixed feelings. Women tend to be a bit more towards bigger egos these days since they have unlimited options, all though men have more options albeit less, Women act like total bitches, while men act like total dicks. It goes both ways women have bigger egos now these days
The way I see it, the more a human has power, the more lilely he or she will loose to the ultra ego. Power comes on many forms. For women ots their looks, gor men ots their success and so on.
Not all on top are ignorant ass bitches or mofos.
I don't know I see a lot of men on here with an ego so big they are over 40 and think they should get a 10 year old virgin. It really just depends on the individual. I know a lot of women that are pretty down on their looks as well as women who think they’re a 10.
Another reason to steer clear of Bars, nightclubs and social media. Full of fake, attention-seeking and bitter harlets.
Social groups and work are the places to go to find high value women. Women who give instead of expect. Women who are genuinely interesting and interested in you.
Middle aged western women tbh. Followed by university grad women. This is just my experience and observations. Could totally be wrong and if it were me taking a shot in the dark I'd say it's a pretty even split overall but I think those who went to uni have a special stick shoved up their @$$
Hmmm it definitely depends... we’re both pretty bad. I will say this though, women do take criticism much, much worse than men, which is why they are a nightmare to work with. Some are better than others, if a girl grew up with a lot of men around she’s much easier to work with
Not necessarily. Humans can all have big egos depending on the person; the ego is a human thing not related to gender necessarily. However, I have seen the biggest egos in some of the men I know or have seen.
