My best friend brags a LOT?
So lately, my friend has been bragging a bunch, especially about guys. She is always talking about how guys always try to get her number, how guys check her out, how they like all her photos on Facebook, etc. She has also been bragging about her looks, too. Like about how she has a curvy figure, she tans well, she has long eyelashes, perfect skin, etc. Honestly, she's kinda chubby (the reason she has big boobs) and laughs at me for not having big boobs (I'm a tad underweight and really short). Anyway I don't think she is all that attractive anyway. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hph... Can someone please give me advice on how to deal with her bragging? She's a good person and fun to be around but I don't know if I can take it anymore >.<
Are guys who brag a lot insecure ?
OMG my ex boyfriend did all of those things you mentioned!! But then I found out that none of it was true!! He told me he'd beat up guys in a bar then I found out from mutual friends he'd just stood there too scared to do anything. And he bragged about how he was going to get a first class degree then I discovered he'd gotten a low one. He also used to say he was a model (conveniently his jobs never seemed to get mentioned again). Tbh I think it is insecurity because he bragged about made up things after he dumped me, so there was no reason to impress me, he just lied and bragged to make himself look/feel good because he was insecure I think. Often men with big egos are compensating for something (with my ex it was most likely compensating for his extremely noticeable goofy teeth). I agree, it is a turn off. Who wants to be with an egocentric who is masking insecurity? Another thing, if you get into a relationship with one of these men and they feel that you're going off them/going to leave them, they'll dump you first to save face
What do you have to say to those guys who brag about the "conquests" with women?
Well, story time.I used to date a man that likes to brag about his conquest. While we were dating, he will brag about the women he had slept with to me.At first I try to downplay it as him trying to impress me. You know, we just started dating, I am not that bad looking, he probably just need to get his ego validated. I used to say oooh and aaahh to these stories. I used to act like I'm impressed with his ability to get women to drop like dead flies at his feet.Till I realised, he actually has little to no respect towards all these women he slept with. Well the numbers were quite high but was the satisfaction there?So what does that make me? Another conquest of his? No. I was his girlfriend, apparently. That means, I'm untouchable. Although he still brag to his friends that he's dating a stewardess. Yep, he's also a misogynist.What irks me is, he speaks freely about these other women, denying them the respect they should be given putting up with him as a sucky human being.You know what is the ending of this story? Him feeling rejected of me rejecting his stories of glories. After a while, I pay him no mind and stop wanting to be with him. That apparently shattered his self esteem.Deep down, men like him has insecurity issues they need to address but they didnt. My ex turned out to be an ass, I will give you that, but by the end of our relationship, I finally see him as what he is actually: a boy who wants approval.Funny how it takes only paying him no attention to make him realise what he has been doing all these while were wrong. A few months after we broke up, he begged me to come back to him but my mind has already been made up at that time. I told him off saying if only he didnt treat women like object then maybe he has fair chance to actually experience love.He stop contacting me after that. Last I heard, he managed to stay single for a while. Stop bullshitting women with his lies.I hope he's doing fine now. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubts.
Why do so many guys like to brag about money?
I have never represented the ‘material girls’ & ‘material dudes.’ Nevertheless, here’s my take on it… Worth, Not Words Real men and real men (of character) who really ‘have it’ don’t need to brag. And they don’t need to brag about money. Instead, ‘real men’ often make acquaintances; talk business etc (as opposed to taking ‘cheap shots that look expensive.’) Sometimes instead of ‘talk’, maybe they might be hospitable and take you on a tour (a more subtle, refined way of flaunting) to show you their earthly glories/ spoils/ pirate’s booty/ properties/ toys (to friends, acquaintances - and maybe, worthy enemies too.) Male Initiation Ceremony Male friends who know each other well don’t need to brag about wealth. Even if they do, it is not about intimidation. But, when a male ‘talks big’ to intimidate, it is usually aimed at a ‘newcomer’, outside his ‘inner circle.’ Call it whatever you like – insecurity, or primitive instinct/ ritual etc. There was an old advert tagline that went some thing like ‘if you flaunt it, you obviously haven’t got it.’ That tag line was for a women’s luxury goods ad. But ironically, it applies so much to men as well (the flaunting need not necessarily be about wealth; for it is more often done to cover up for a lack of something else, such as character.)
Why do guys brag about their penis size?
EASY now we don't all lie or talk about it unless the situation dictates it would be funny or is necessary.
Why does a guy brag about himself?
I understand and honestly speaking, I did that mistake once in my life, not realising what message I was giving out! But thankfully I made sure never do to it again in the future.Okay, so coming back to you, seems like this guy is either interested in you (as you said he has been flirting with you too) or he take you for a dumb person, enough to believe all of his crap.Next time when she shares something like that, be smart, smile at him and tell him how two guys are after you since years and are not ready to move on though you have turned down their proposals.A person who brags so much about himself, will not entertain someone else talking the same way. :-)
Why do men brag about how much they make or what they have?
When a man is doing that, I'm really not impressed. It's a turn off and an insult to ME because he clearly thinks I'm some gold digging, shallow, whore. I don't think he's a douche, I think he's immature and has never involved himself with a real woman. It shows me that his expectations are low, and he's superficial. It shows me that if he DOES have all of those things, and he give me a taste if it... He will think that he owns me. Almost like bartering. For me to be able to experience his life, I have to give him some of what's between my legs. I don't have time for stuff like that. I don't have time to try and teach men BASIC things their mother should've taught them.
Why do some people brag about themselves a lot?
The main reason people tend to brag is because of their insecurities. They're not confident about their strengths and hence subconsciously “brag” which kinda is the mouth telling the brain that they really are good enough. This doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't good at what they're bragging about. It just means they don't believe in themselves as much as “non-braggers” do. They are constantly comparing themselves to others in the same field and live in the constant fear of not being the best in the room. So bragging is a way of saying “I'm better than you, you can't beat me” This makes them feel better. Not a good trait and definitely not good for his/her mental health. But beware! This constant fear also makes them work harder than most people. I can always be wrong but this is what I feel from what I've seen and experienced. Peace!
