I just never understood this. If a man having ego* is the most valuable trait that straight women desire above all else, then WHY do so many of them treat men like trash and try to destroy their self-esteem?
I'm not even talking about Amber Heard and the super-obvious ways; just women in general. When you try to flirt with them, say Hi, or just converse with them. Women never even giving compliments or words of encouragement to men.
Why is this contradictory behavior a thing? Are they all just giant sh-t tests and the few men who tell them to 'Go To Hell' or fart in their face Peter Griffin style the ones they actually like? (Aka, "the bad boy.")
And no, I'm not talking about anything in my life personally; I've just always found this to be contradictory. If pretty much all straight women like high-pride* in men above all else, then why don't they try to raise it in men or support them, instead of constantly trying to destroy it?
Am I crazy for thinking that's nuts? I'm not even saying "be their mom" or something. Just maybe be... Nicer? More supportive? Less cruel? I dunno.
DO YOU GUYS KNOW WHY THIS IS?
Was thinking about posting this anonymously, since it's going to ruffle some pink feathers, but... Nah. If you get offended, it probably means it's true.
