Search Results: intelligent conversations

My female friend always:
- Brags about handsome and attractive men chasing her but she ends up rejecting them.
- Brags about how intelligent she is.
- Brags about how many friends she has.
- Only talks about herself and her life. Never listens to mine or offers advice when I invite her to.
- Brags about all the guys checking her out.

All these things are unwarranted. I don't mind her occasionally saying these things and supporting her, but it's on a constant basis. It comprises of 80% of our conversation. Also, she knows that I like military men and when she found out I'm with a military man, she starts jumping in and showing off about the military men she has rejected (no photos, no proof whatsoever).

Things to mention is that I'm reasonably attractive, tall and successful. I'm a student pilot and one of the better ones at flight school. She knows this but I never brag about my achievements to her or the attention I get from both genders. What should I do about her self centered nature?

Was having this conversation with my friend and she got really heated about saying a woman doesn’t need to have ambition because it’s a masculine trait and a man should take care of her so she doesn’t need to strive towards goals such as a career. I’m the complete opposite I come from a family where my brothers and father have always thought me not to rely on anybody to give you the life you want. I am not some self obsessed career driven nut but I want to be able to make my own money and when it comes to me meeting someone. We can pull our money together to build our life. But my friend is dead set on just floating through life until she finds somebody with money. Makes me sad because she is quite intelligent but has no actually ambition.
