Guys: why would some guys act so cocky and arrogant?

Jealousy of your achievements or seeming lifestyle can cause another person to feel smug or arrogant about something they think they do better than you or own/have that you don't

. Arrogant people have an extremely strong need to look good they feel powerful and there ego is exerted.


Confidence emanates off arrogant guys, and confidence is a very attractive quality women like comfidence, especially for more submissive women. Confident men often take the lead in relationships women feel safe in this sense and protected, which can make it much more easy and more exciting and fun for the woman. Also many arrogant men take good care of themselves and seems to be self lovers, working out at the gym or looking after there body Lot's of arrogant people are good-looking and with good bodies and will bring them attention. To answer your question to a badic point. It' is not women being dumb or naive when they are attracted to "arrogant men", although when it comes to a long term relationship over a short term or a fling, most women will possibly try to find someone more leveled with there needs and what they really want.

Athletes and handsome men have always been like that, most of them. If they have a large dick , who cares? Guys with big ones always want other guys it know it? Obnoxious.. smh

Because they think it will impress girls.
Because they think it will provide them with greater success in life, not just with women. They are competing for power and success.
To conceal or compensate for their insecurities.
They are copying "successful" media roll models.

In the end, cocky, arrogant people are putting on a facade. It's best to avoid intimate contact with them.

Different reasons:
1. They can be really egoistic and think that they're superior
2. They are socially awkward, so having an arrogant attitude helps them pretend that they're not freaking out from the inside
3. They are just avoiding you or maybe don't like you for any reason. So they behave arrogantly to stay away from you.

The guys I know who are chest thumping, strutting ass holes seem to have women fighting over them. What is Taylor Swift’s song “Trouble” about?

”I knew you were trouble when you walked in?” Girl sees guy is a chest thumping, strutting ass hole who treats women like dirt. Has sex with him anyway.

”The same old lines…” He tells her the same BS she’s heard many, many times before, and falls for it AGAIN! Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

”A notch on your belt is all I’ll ever be!” He treated you the same way he’s treated the hundreds of other women he’s screwed and you’re somehow surprised by this.

Remember, it ain't bragging if you can back it up.

My friend Scott is not only handsome, but he is also a former Marine Corp fighter pilot (carrier qualified in the A-4 and F/A-18) and currently flies for a commercial airline piloting the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

Scott has an ego big enough to be fatal to the average man, but a man who is responsible for a $200 million aircraft and the lives of 300 passengers had better have a high opinion of himself!

Because most men are raised learning they should be competitive and better than the others, especially better than women. So in the end some tend to feel they are superior and better. They end up acting arrogant and cocky.
Fortunately not all guys behave this way

[MrJMM]

Because that act like alpha males or like they're the “the only true masculine males” while others are pathetic or I have a lot of money pay attention to me or I have muscles I am the perfect male, etc are just bitches that should be ignorant. They get it either from their male friend groups or their fathers or guru online to teach them shit that is just basic bullshitting.

[Man-O-Metal]

There are so many reasons. I just don't want to take the time to type them all out. All you need to know is that not all guys are like that and you should focus on finding friends/boyfriends that check most of those green flag boxes.

Usually a mix of anti-social personality and severe insecurity. They constantly have to prove themselves to feel respected. It's such little dick energy.

[RedStealthOperative]

Humility is not natural human nature, especially in ones that are flaring with testosterone and superiority complex issues.

[dynamicyandere]

Lack of character growth.


Their pride and arrogance exceeds their humility and modesty.

[spartan55]

The same reason some girls act bitchy and arrogant.

[bamesjond0069]

Because over and over im usually right or have something valuable to contribute to a group so why not be confident about what i have to say? Plus girls love it. They say they dont but they do.

[FilmGuy93]

Some people are just assholes. I'm not sure what else to say

[Skkczkcj]

Because they got it all and like to show it. Sometimes I get a bit like that. Girls might say they hate it, but they love it deep down

[Asker]

I really don’t, I think that attitude is like putting a wall in between us. Making me less interested in approaching him.

[Skkczkcj]

Fair enough. But deep down a nice sensitive guy. I might not like to show it

[RicFlair312]

Lack of character
Male egotistical issues
Lack of social skills
Women feeding their ego

[Gollum]

Because girls love it. Nice guys finish last, they get friend-zoned.

[Jamesshinobi]

because they know their worth and the worth of others around them

[lucas262]

Sometimes they just don't give a flying fuck anymore.

[In_Trance]

Because tyhey have small dicks and they're over compensating

[Noodle_fan]

he is probably have no idea the differences between being confident and being arrogant
