“The longer I live and the more I observe the more I am convinced that generally women are more egocentric than men.”
Hmmm. Well, naturally I’m not going to go along with that, but maybe the female ego is more often tied more to her looks, the man and her children, and a man’s is less so and more tied to other things like job, physical strength, sports, sex, intellect — winning competitions of some kind. Darwin would approve. The woman must get the best man to ensure her and her childrens’ survival, and the man must bring down the most mastodons to ensure that of himself, wife and kids.
And I think part of the competitive nature of the male is in the area of having a good looking wife. Not the only area, but it is an area. These women in the 70% wouldn’t trade up if there wasn’t someone willing to take them. Where do all of these single men come from? (And, are they all single?)
And also, if men didn’t pick the prettiest ones, who are in large part pretty because they care to take the time on hair, make-up, clothes, diet, boob jobs, etc. Then, in time, women would be less obsessed with that role and find another. (I know not all women fit this role, but it disheartening to see how many girls, born into all of the choices available, still rate themselves on how alpha their boyfriend is.)
