Why men bother answering but women don't just why I'm trying my best to aks questions that repel men yet I get answers form men and repel women instead!!!

Men who appear to have “Big Egos” are more often masking an inferiority complex. The illusion of “machismo” makes men often believe that seeking help for an emotional issue, of even a mental issue, a sign of weakness! This can be doubly challenging for a man already suffering silently with an inferiority complex. I believe that true strength lies in one’s ability to know when one has an issue, and to seek help for that issue. Sadly, men often wait until middle age to recognize a problem, and to seek help for that issue. So perhaps the question should be “why do younger men with ego issues, wait so long to get help?” Clearly it is not their fault. Society’s expectations on men, as well as familial influences during adolescence can paralyze a man when it comes to seeking help, especially when the very act of seeking help is far too often portrayed as a weakness, or even a character flaw!

Like most things, "Machismo" was created by women for women through rewarding those particular behaviours and abandoning those who deviate - which they still do to this day.

Women are trying to play both sides of the debate they started. They want us to be leaders & hardy protectors, who's stoic emotional stability can be used as a foundation to support them... But now they want us to ALSO be vulnerable, submissive & show our weaknesses...

Men, this is a trap. Words are empty, we need only look at their actions. That said, pride is the sin most men need to cut out of their character: being traditionally masculine (in the western sense) requires you to be Modest, not Prideful.

Another behaviour men have that women initiated was the pursuit of power and resources (AKA money); why? Because you reward and pursue us along these lines, and if you earn more you almost always divorce us.

Men are simple: if we want a thing, we will follow the rules required to acquire saud thing. In this scenario, the thing is "a mate", and the requirements they set are "fitness, status & resources". This logic isn't too advanced to follow, its primitive in the literal sense - like a male bird who had to build the best nest & dance to attract the female...

Food for thought ladies.

Accusing and shaming men of having a "big ego" is usually a way to shame men to have self respect, pride and strong boundaries. When I hear this kind of statement I hear "why don't he let me get away with disrespecting him/ lying to him/ cheating on him/ abusing him"

[Milonaa]

shame men for having*

[Anonymous]

Not all men do ofc majority have this problem but I can’t say all guys..
Maybe they are simply being protective by Mother Nature and you confuse it with having an high ego
Men are protectors sometimes they act more than they should but its whatever why interrupt their testosterone reaction !

[FieldOfVision]

I wouldn't know since I never had a relationship before. Not all men are egotistical; however, I've seen some pretty narcissistic women too. Ego might be a way of asserting dominance... at least that's how it appears in biology. Relationships are overrated to be honest.

[katestar89]

I agree with you.

[tiajoka]

Well an ugly guy might land a girl more attractive than him somehow, and then try to use the fact that he’s dating her to get an even more attractive woman.
most the time tho, I think guys just get more confident in a relationship and so they become more desirable in general. Not inflated egos. Confidence is good.

[Subarugirl]

Generally, people who appear to have a high ego either are compensating for something they are really insecure about or are narcissistic.

People who are secure in themselves dont typically flaunt their egos.

[Subarugirl]

@Fuentes thanks but I already live in a big city and am in the process of buying a house in a smaller city, but thanks.

[Subarugirl]

@Fuentes Not sure why you think the state you live in has anything to do with ego in a relationship lol
I know pornography might try to convince you otherwise, but no one really believes that bigger is always better.

[Subarugirl]

@Fuentes well that explains a lot then

[Biancam13]

I agree so much with this. Genuinely confident people are quiet about it. Insecure people overcompensate to avoid feeling vulnerable and project their insecurities outwards.

[Biancam13]

Also, interestingly, narcissism actually comes from insecurity and low self-worth. So I think that anyone who flaunts their egos is covering insecurity.

[Magosmall06]

Depends on the guys I guess. My ex was narcissistic, he always tried to make out that everything was a bigger deal than it actually is. Maybe it’s their upbringing? Social media? Or how easy it is to access dating apps?

[electromagnetic]

My fiancé does but it plans to his character. He’s a very loving person but he cannot be wrong 😂

[SexyRedd1966]

I don't know about anyone else, but I am constantly boosting my man's ego letting him know how great he is and it's not a lie... he really is

[kylee2437]

This is definitely a statement that needs explanation because I actually find single men to have higher egos

[kylee2437]

“You’re a woman only focusing on men” no I have a brain and eyes, I can view both genders. Way to gaslight though

[Asad1ONE1]

Nah that's not how this works my sister.

[kylee2437]

@asad1one1 actually it is how it works. A lot of men miss the attention they get when they are single

[Asad1ONE1]

Miss the attention? You're making no sense but that's ok.

[kylee2437]

@Asad1one1 actually I’m making perfect sense.

[Asad1ONE1]

I hope you are not trying to say men "miss" the signals women give them due to having higher egos? Wtf? This could be anyone WTF? This can't be gender specific.

[Dv_bell]

Well, most of them have a high ego. But not all of them. Some of them sacrifices their ego just to appreciate their opposite sex.

[Random_g]

Ego? I think how we see ego is different so what do you mean by high ego in the first place?

[hismave]

It's annoying really. I dont like the fact that guys have high ego in relationships but well maybe they feel cause they are the "head of the house" or whatever. My point is it annoying and it most likely because of their roles in relationships.

[Sour-rose]

*wheezing because men are willing to answer shi but women can't be bothered*

[HappyWoman34]

Why do guys have such a big ego in anything?

[Anonymous]

This is a question women ask, not men. Makes me wonder.

[panerabricks]

I got nothing but my profile photo for you. Let the men speak.

[RARETRAMP]

why do you hate me so much?

[panerabricks]

Because you delete peoples comments for no reason. Grow up.

[Asad1ONE1]

He's likely a fake blue account anyway.

[BlackLilith21]

Most men are Egotistical. Not 🚫 all!! But yes most

[malwins]

Only the statis ones

[Sisters_Of_Time]

Explain?
