you did not explain the difference between narcissistic, and egoistical men

My submission is genderless and, of course, I wrote about egoism: your "egoistical men."

I'm a proud calm narcissist and truthfully I always get the pussy before walking away. The good looks and sweet mouth helps even without spending much.

I don't keep female friends, no girl in this world can point to me and say he's my friend, baby it's either we're dating, facking, or we not talking

Can't help it

Was created that way.
like I said narcs are not capable of having fulfilling intimate relationships. They are difficult to treat because they have n reason to change and lack insight where true friendship is concerned

Anybody can be narcissist
Why are making it seem only men are narcissist?
I apologise for that. There are a lot of narcissistic women, it is just that they are usually covert because narcissism is not believed to be feminine. But a lot of gorgeously beautiful women are narcissistic because they were reinforced on their beauty growing up and it is all they have. They then engage in attention seeking behavior to gain validation.

This is true. Lots of the crazy narcissistic ladies I have seen all possess this entitlement mentality. I run away once I notice these tendencies grin

I disagree, I have a main relationship that I've maintained for four years now and plan on wifing her because I love her and disvirgined (the only virgin I ever had and not looking for any again) her and have no evidence of her cheating infact she's the only one I trust in this life apart from my close family. The idea of marrying a 'used-by-another-guy' lady is a big NO for me. I love my girl as much as I love other girls kitten, it doesn't make me a bad person it's just in my DNA to be bad.

The difference between egotists (egotistical people) and narcissists (narcissistic people) is that:

The former (egotists/egotistical people) "take and take until the giver is half of themselves (I borrowed your words as quoted)". . . finished - Self-centeredness and contentiousness are their major hallmark, they care less. While the latter (narcissists), everything is transaction-business-like to them and they don't pretend about it - they're not altruistic givers and faithful lovers, but they expect altruism and faithfulness. Selfishness and sanctimony - to them they're good moral personification, instead of personification of hypocrisy they're - are their major hallmark, they care but without emotion so it's an instant give and take for them (like a typical business person that owes you honesty but no loyalty).

you are getting it wrong. All you said are just signs of narcissistic personality disorder. Google It. Narcissism is a broad spectrum which covers all three of your terms

You're so right about this.

The Scorpio in me tends to control the narcissist in me though.

I don't want your help simply because I don't want to be indebted to you or have you controlling me

And if I will help you it has to be for something, which mostly is the poosay for me cause I don't need help in the first place so if you've got no poosay to offer I'll simply help for humanity or ignore.

And we can also both walk away in opposite direction and forget we ever met.

My dear , I don't waste my time dating such type of human beings.

Immediately I notice on the first date ? Its over . I can't cope with any man , I hope to date having such mentality. I don japa!!

I dated one like that, he thought he is the only available God's gift to women . Fine . tall 6" 2" ft with a good job and perfect massive duplex home . Intact after the date, I regretted ever meeting up with him. And I told him point blank , sorry Im no longer interested in dating you. He was shocked and angry. But thats it . I just can't swallow such attitudes everyday .

bye bye to such terrible attitude . Give it to somoeonesle biko, I"ll pass!
.

I can't !

Lair lair, pants on fire!

As a 39 years old woman that you're, meeting a guy with such spec as you defined up there, you'll gladly and forever cling to his shirt. You'll even be a door mat for him to walk on. Don't tell us lies, please.

Stop living a lie!

I have other things adding to my pocket so that's not your business.

My ego is so big

We are alike in a way, I seen your post about being unemotional, that kinda speaks a lot about me.

You narcissist too?

My submissions are precise refer to them, because I've limited time. Egotist has empathy - with self-centerednes as its major hallmark. Self-centeredness doesn't mean automatic absence of empathy, it only means "self/self interest enable empathy." If an egotist considers you as his/her interest/part of self, you'll enjoy his goodness to the maximum.

None of these traits means EVIL automatically - only one who possesses all the traits can be termed evil.

lol. No one said that narcs don't get married. Do you constantly seek for attention? Are you capable of putting yourself in other people's shoes and act based on that? Are you capable of giving without anything in return or sacrificing for someone dear to you without being acknowledged?

on that we both agree but egoism is one of the 9 traits of narcissistic personality disorder

Seeking attention? No I'm too introverted for that. Putting myself in other people's shoes? Not sure but in extreme cases yes like one time in school when my neighbor came to charge his iPhone and he was just twisting and maneuvering the phone to charge and I had a new longer cord I've kept for years that I don't use, I willingly gave him that day and the joy he had moved me to tears so yes I'm compassionate but I can be mean, like really mean . Capable of giving something without return? Yes I help family in my own little way.

then I don't think you are a narc. You seem to be empathetic and not selfish at the detriment of others. At most you are egoistical. I would need to watch you in action to make my assessment
