Male Ego

I was reading a post a while ago about the male ego and how it annoys some women. I find that funny actually...I mean I agree, SOME male egos can be pretty disturbing and downright silly, but its not like they're alone in the world. There are some pretty outstanding FEMALE egoes out there too...lol. But that's fodder for another post...

The male ego is fragile at best. I think many of my fellows develop the EGO as a defence against the inevitable crush of what some women consider their duty to "mold" the man. The problem is...most men can't be "molded"...they may mold (in a green sort of way) but not changed. I think that men come witha certain DNA preference and that's usually what you get. It doesn't vary much from your initial grasp of the guy. It is what it is. Sure it can be controlled and directed somewhat, but the Male Ego is an inate thing that even many men are not aware of. They just know its "theirs" and they accept it.

I read a post this morning about a woman being extremely frustrated with her man. He just seemed to be in a world of his own and she couldn't grasp why he would be such a way. The simple answer to that is, because that's just who he is. You know, men aren't difficult to figure out. Often what you see is what you get. That's not a criticism, its just true. Men are really not devious or deep or mysterious, ubless of course you're trying to figure them out. They don't change, they don't morph, they just are.

I think that's why men see other men as they are. They either like each other or not. They understand each other and that's that. there is no mystery because to overuse the statement, they are what they are. No mystery, no smoke and<b> mirrors. </font></b>Men either are or aren't, you fill in the rest.

Now I'm not saying they can't be deep or sensitive or anything like that. Of course they can, well most can. But they don't do it deceptively. If you think a guy is nice, sensitive and worth looking at, then he probably is. Most men I know, "Don't put it on"...they can't be bothered frankly. Not that its too much effort, its just not deemed necessary.

I've been married for 38 years. I am essentially the same guy I was 38 years ago. Sure I know when to keep my mouth shut and when to say appropriate things...I can learn...I'm not stupid...but I knew that 40 years ago too, or at least some of it. I doubt that if I saw someone from way back then that I hadn't seen since and spent any length of time with them they would say I was the same old Quixy. Maybe a bit more polished or refined, but still the same guy. And I believe that's because, essentially I am.

My life has been pretty good, so I admit that has made a big difference. I haven't had terrible luck or sorrow or anything like that. So maybe that's why I feel the way I do. But this whole complaint about a man's ego getting in the way...its just not true. I am what I am, and have been for most of my life. I just take issue with someone who would say the opposite.

Anyway...here's a picture for you women who crave pictures of impossible men...lol...enjoy.

your hair, and from your lips
