this is something i've noticed, as well, in my time dating in the last few years, both on-line and off.

According to Twenge, this focus on self-admiration has caused a cultural flight from reality to the land of grandiose fantasy.

We have phony rich people (who actually have massive mortgages and piles of debt), phony beauty (via plastic surgery), phony celebrities (via reality TV and YouTube), phony genius students (with grade inflation) and phony friends (with the social networking explosion).

He says he's not perfect, but is told he's an eligible and pleasant guy with a lot to offer.

'I've had three successive dates recently with ladies in the late 30s to early 40s age bracket that have left me dumbfounded,' he said.

'I've never come across such massive egos, such arrogance and lack of basic courtesy.

'It was as if these particular dates were a forum for them to tell me how exceptional they were. One told me repeatedly how many young guys at the gym asked her out; another was very artificial.

'You sensed that they absolutely worshipped themselves, though none of them was drop-dead gorgeous or had amazing personalities, jobs or anything else to set them apart and elevate themselves into some superior position.

'I also thought it was quite telling that none of them had ever been married, engaged or had recently - or perhaps ever - been in a long-term relationship.

'I got the feeling that these women were living in a Sex And The City-inspired fantasy world. I also sensed that nobody would ever be good enough for them.

'They seem to be looking for something that doesn't exist: Mr Perfect, or perhaps some larger-than-life, dashingly handsome and unattainable character such as that portrayed by Mr Big. Nothing else will do.'

ive known several women who expect to be TREATED like princesses but do not ACT like (true) princesses. They seem to think that everyone should worship the ground they walk on, but have done nothing to deserve such goodwill or sacrifice in their favor.

That said, i have treated women like that before.. but only because of the way they treated me in return.. they DESERVED to be treated so well, because they were gracious, giving, concerned with needs, wants and desires and didnt ASK for anything in return. They didnt have to ask, it was freely given.

But, recently, even in my own personal and professional life, i see this ego. and, no, goddammit, it is NOT men being intimidated by a "strong, intelligent woman who knows what she wants". Its being turned off by a selfish, self-centered little girl who throws a tantrum or pouts if they arent being showered with admiration at any given moment. Its the attitude of "your reward for treating me like a Queen, is being in my presence. You should know how lucky you are for it!"

Hell, even the nerd girls are figuring out that nerd-guys will treat them well by mere fortune of them having a vagina... well, that works for boys, but not for MEN. Men ('real' men) are not impressed by a pussy. They're impressed by a PERSON.
