Talking to other girls in itself is nothing bad.
However, if he says that it boosts his ego because they (the girls) cannot get him for whatever reason, this is an alarming statement.
To me, that is indicative that if the opportunity presents itself, he may reconsider his position and my fears are that he may cheat, again, just to boost his ego and not so much because because he does not find you attractive.
Another factor that may be important is his age. If he is past 30, then not only his ego is at stake but also his need to boost his confidence by knowing that he can still be attractive to other females.
He does indeed display some characteristics of a person with narcissistic traits, possibly a NPD (narcissistic personality disorder). Those are found more commonly in men. Symptoms include an excessive need for admiration, disregard for others' feelings, an inability to handle any criticism, and a sense of entitlement.
I would have a serious conversation with your boyfriend and make it clear that you will not accept any boosts of ego because of the dangers they pose for your relationship. Casually talking to other girls is okay, tough. Good luck.

It is not normal behavior. Narcissists, product of the preceding Selfie 🤳 generations, is one who seeks attention in any form.-By that I mean, your grief, pain, and/or emotional explosion are like a buzz. Complements do that as well. There are also…often evidence of sociopath and/or psychopath exists. Some professionals think it is a continuum leading from Narcissist to either Psyc/Sociopathic. 🤷🏻♂️
Often Narcissist is developmentally stuck at like 11-16…adult kids. I’m not an expert so you should consult one. If you are enrolled at public institution, such as an University, then there should be free access to counselor.
You may want to document NOT Dissertation. Time date activity. Counselor get ahold of that before appointment things will go much smoother. Remember, I am not an expert SO consult one. Best ‼️
at first that's how it was for me but after a while i stopped talking to them because they were all the same egotistical shallow self centered narcassistic no real talent or hobbies no interests nothing other then standing there taking selfies and looking vain and it gets old and sickening and not worth it. those women are eye candy nothing more. it's nice to know a guy can have an attractive woman want him which helps boost his confidence especially when his own girlfriend doesn't and tears his confidence down with her cheating

Kick his ass. Boosting his ego... Are you kidding me? No , in fact, grab a shovel and slowly dig a hole and give him your best death stare once he asks you what's going on. Talking to other girls online is considered cheating. It's one thing to have girls as friends at the bar, just like girls can have guy friends, but in this case it's neither.
Ego my ass.
Wow, great choice on that moron. "He might be a narcissist" I have $100 he has no clue what a narcissist person is... enjoy
That's not cool, and how do you know for sure he hasn't cheated on you?
You should ask him how he would like it if you were chatting to other guys just to "boost" your ego.
He may never cheat and just use it to boost his confidence, I sitll think it's wrong.
He hasn’t cheated only because no female has given him the opportunity
