Why do a lot of people think that being a selfish asshole is cool?

I feel the younger a person is, the more immature. The less they have the capacity to empathize with another person or the less guilt they feel, the less compassionate they are towards their fellow human. Online is no exception, especially with the men on here lol.

Because they get to hide their insecurities behind a veneer of false invincibility. But on some cases, it just makes them more punchable.

More than once, I've had to resist the urge to fly into a murderous rampage against a 20-something male Karen who thinks his curly blonde hair, pretty boy face, and asshole demeanor mean he can ignore laws and treat everyone else like a dog turd on the way down, screaming like an eight year old when you won't sell him something restricted when he refuses to show ID.

The last time that happened, I so wished a cop had shown up and witnessed his tantrum, and tased him to a sunburn!

he is not an selfish asshole he is just a kid. a real selfish asshole wouldn't throw a tantrum, he would either throw a punch at you and steal whatever he wanted or finds a sneaky way to steal thesame thing without having you noticed, or would just say fuck this shit and go to his way.

@aceleon : He came back with another jackass just like himself, and tried to play the intimidation game. It didn't work.

[aceleon]

well courage hasnothing to do with asshole or not i guess right?

[ObscuredBeyond]

@aceleon : I can still hear him, yelling like he was possessed. He wanted rolling papers. I imagine it's because he was going to put crack in them.

I mean we're being encouraged to be selfish assholes honestly.. It's disguised as "loving yourself" and "putting yourself first" because according to some people we only have ourselves in the end..

[TenderFantasy]

Okay, but I don't know if that would work well if that person was in a relationship lol. 👍

[Joshydavid25]

You're right.. It wouldn't..

[Joshydavid25]

Thank you for MHO!

[TenderFantasy]

Because it's edgy 😎 saying things others won't admit, being blunt, using people and being completely straight about it, how cool 😎

I'm half joking, but yeah that is the thought process. People want to live in American Psycho and just let go of their inhibitions. No more pretending, just cutting to their selfish intentions. It's admirable being raw like that. But it's also NOT admirable to be a dick to everyone you come across. So it's a complex question

[aceleon]

being a dick to everyone is not edgy or cool it is having a personality disorder, you can have all the things you mention but still liked by people and like wise likesome people yourself, being an asshole doesn't mean you need to be an anti-social psycho.

If you're talking about my ex..

It's probably because emotionally hurting someone is NEVER illegal unfortunately, or rejecting/breaking up with someone..

[aceleon]

it is cool because once you admit this yourself, you are free from every shit, keeping a facade of decency is just not worth the trouble also if someone can't love you at your worse, they don't deserve the best, liking some boy scout is easy, try liking a delinquent or something.

[FunkyMonkee]

Maybe because they see dozens and dozens of those assholes getting the hottest girls while the kind, sweet, loving guys (like me) don't get shit in the way of girlfriend's.
Girls tend to have shit taste in men and nearly ALWAYS go after the assholes so, why NOT become a raging asshole if you're gonna get pussy because of it?

[IslaTheWitch]

because they are selfish assholes and their minds try to protect their integrity by justifying their behavior

[laly520]

cuz that type keeps on winning

kidness ain't important anymore

[aceleon]

finally someone who at least has a functioning brain.

[TenderFantasy]

I wonder why, though.

How is it EVER beneficial or pleasurable to HURT another person? Yeah, I'm thinking too deeply about it lol. Maybe they just don't give a fuck lol. Especailly since it's not illegal to HURT another person's feelings. Illegal to kill and assault physically, but never emotionally.

[laly520]

indeed they dont give any fuck as long as they gain whatever they wanna gain even if it will hurt their feelings

[FreyaRed]

They want to win unpopularity competition. It's not only they are selfish assholes (most people are) but they brag with it. Being an asshole and being stupid isn't a good combination.

[jarkitor20]

I don't know why people think that
I personally only know a few who do and I distance myself from them as much as possible

[Billlewis]

I try to only date/serve women who are exactly that.

[IloveWinters]

Thats how the world is these days... Can't help

[NathanDavis]

I don't know anybody who thinks so...

[Sevenpointfive]

it's really never cool to be an asshole

[eagle1951]

ok I give WHY?

[jahaims]

They are brainwashed
