I have a question: how do you people (it will be applying to both sexes, not just the men) deal with egos on this site? I have been here on and off for years and I have noticed some pretty crazy stuff. Everyone has A psychological edge or thing that separates you from the rest of the other individuals. In men this tends to be the ego. However I have noticed that there are women who do have egos as well. Perhaps it's an over compensatory trait from the environment that they are dealing with. They get inundated with attention and that inflates their egos to the stratosphere. And before anyone jumps in to say maybe you're not there choice, I am not talking about shoelaces I am talking about women who play you along because they are beautiful they know you want them and they make it complicated and exhibit twisted characteristics. I, of course I'm not immune to my ego but I do like to keep it in check every single day. I would love to hear peoples views on this thank you. And please don't make this personal, we are just discussing |

"How do you keep your ego in check? "
By thinking through how this would affect someone before I say it. Egotistical people don't have that due care for what you think or how you might be affected |

"How do you keep your ego in check? "
By not being arrogant, deluded, looking down on people thinking you are above them, always remember there's a person behind the text/profile and not being a tool in general. |

"Some people suffer from body dysmorphia. Quite obvious when you compare their photos to their profile text"
I suffer from BDD as well. But I've never said I'm a big strong guy bla bla lol |

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum |
Everyone has an ego, its just that some of us don't require it massaging as much as others.
Of course its great being a woman on Fab. I'd be lying if I said otherwise. I get gorgeous hot blokes messaging me for sex. But I know that if I turn them down, they'll just be moving on to the next likely target, so they really don't mean it. Complimenting me was a means to an end.
I think the fact I have a cynical outlook, and a deep mistrust of compliments, means I can keep a relatively level head when on here. |

It still comes down to personality with me. An ego doesn't mean unattractive to me. I don't have much of an ego,so it's difficult to inflate mine. I know exactly what I am and why men want me. |

These things are massively complicated...chatting and looking to meet people on here needs to take into consideration the reasons behind their [and our own] approaches, values, ideas about loads of things...It isn't necessarily all about 'nice tits/lovely face/blue eyes' or whatever...
Egos certainly play a part, but it is up to each of us to look at that and make a decision based on our own values and ideas about acceptable personalities and behaviour.
For some, these things won't matter...If you are looking to meet someone purely for [one off?] sexual contact, then perhaps it is less important and shouldn't be worried about to any degree...
Not sure if any of that makes sense but it's a way of beginning to answer your post.

Its very easy to get an over inflated ego.
When I first joined websites about 18 years ago I was extremely overweight and had all these guys telling me I was gorgeous, being told your gorgeous every day by guys can make you feel as though your something special,I didn't but I can see why some women would push these guys, see what they would do and what they could get out of them.
Fortunately I'm a realist, every day on here I get men telling me how gorgeous, stunning I am in fact some days I think they are in competition to come out with the most ridiculous stuff.
So really its the men/women that are doing the fawning that are creating these huge egos.

It's normally pretty clear from chatting whether you are chatting to an ego or a person. I don't have time for people that think they are better than everyone else or deserve special treatment. I don't make demands of others and I don't give in to demands of others. |

I keep my own ego in check by being an intelligent enough person to separate the bullshit of people blowing smoke up my ass from the views of the people who count.
I just ignore others whose egos I think are out of control. Block, delete, never have to think about.  |

Sounds to me like a very long winded way of saying "I was chatting to an attractive woman who then stopped chatting/declined to meet me"

That is not the issue. You are just speculating. |

Power corrupts. I wonder how many people truly have over-inflated egos or if actually they just behave in a self-centred and arrogant manner because they can get away with it. Some of the most overtly 'egotistical' people are the ones with the lowest self-esteem anyway. |

Fab isn't real life.
The attitudes of ladies to me on here is very different to what I've experienced in the 20 years before joining Fab.
So, fabbed pics, nice comments and the like are lovely and make me smile.
But I have no problem keeping my head, because it isn't real life. |

I wouldn't seek out those people in the first place.
This place isn't real, anyone can project an image of themselves that isn't real. Anyone can think they're all that and some will agree, others won't. That's just how people are.
I'm not looking for anything much on here, some fun, more fun, sex, bit of banter. And if i wasn't getting these things i'd leave.
It is nice when other people validate how you feel about yourself, but insecure people who have not validated themselves need extra validation from others. If you wanna understand why they are like that? They don't tend to have an actual ego because they are relying on others for one.
Be confident in yourself. If you don't like who you are then change that, do it for you though and not for anyone else because it's you who has to live with the consequences of whatever you do in life. |
