The Mega Male Ego
Today I stand (o.k., so, I'm actually sitting) before you posing an age old question: How do men end up with such inflated ego's? How many overweight, bad teeth (or worse, missing teeth), ego centric, bald headed men have you seen/heard/etc... that seem to somehow have the ego of a much more stimulating, enticing, physically fit, full-head-o-hair toting STUD? I have to say, it's a phenomena I have made note of for some time. This isn't male bashing, either. I truly am intrigued at the prospect of how this comes to be. Being the mother to a son, I am really curious to witness this metamorphosis first hand. Of course there are men who have low self-esteem, and perhaps what I have witnessed is just good acting. Nonetheless, it I am intrigued. I hope my son ends up with atmosphere breaking self esteem....after-all, he's perfect, right? Hey???Maybe I'm on to something here........

Can't wait to see where you go with your blog. Ah, the male ego. Perhaps men are better at separating self image from body image - which is a terrific thing. I don't know if it's nature or nuture, but somehow men aren't as obsessed about body image. Perhaps they derive their self worth from their accomplishments, virtues, friendships and loves which have nothing to do with the whiteness of their teeth or their size of waist. Just a thought.
That last comments was posted by me aka margothinksit.blogspot.com aka margaret. I am at my friend's computer and didn't realize I was logged in as her.
Bye!
I'm OK with ego -- male or female -- so long as it doesn't become self-righteousness bent on judging others. It is sometimes comical to see people who are "full of themselve," and I know a young woman who fits that description because she thinks she's so beautiful. The inappropriateness of THAT sort of attitude would be a more appropriate discussion for you.
You aren't referring to ME, I hope?? ;)
