Do men have too much pride/ego?

Hi. I'm engaged to a man who has a serious issue with pride and/or ego. I'm trying to read up on this maybe to see some of the signs or something so I can present the ';evidence'; to him. I'd also like to read on how a woman might be able to deal with such a stubborn, prideful person who is just too smart for his own good. Too full of pride to admit when he's wrong or take advice or directions, etc.





Anyway, I don't want to read anything highly academic or scientific/psychological. But, I haven't been able to find any real info online. Can anyone point me to a linked article on women who deal with men who have inflated egos? Or perhaps something on men who have too much pride?





Thanks much! The best link will get you ';best answer.';Do men have too much pride/ego?
I don't think men have too much pride/ego, some people have too much pride/ego. I think you would find better answers to your questions if you look at him as a ';person'; rather than a ';man'; with an issue with pride and/or ego.Do men have too much pride/ego?
Don't marry him. It will not work out.





Read ';Games People Play'; by Eric Berne. You should be able to find it at the library.
When dealing with peoplelike that you gotta understand that, if you try to talk to him on a consios(sorry for the spelling)level? it won't do any good. Don't undermine yourself knocking his doors, trying to talk to him like an adult to an adult. Instead treat him like he is weaker and more foolish, and you will see how he is going to try to find an approach to you him self.
YES, i would hazard a guess that about 90-95% of us do have it, but it does come in varying degrees. Like it has been said in myth's, that there is at least some drop of truth, well i am sure you have heard of the thing about men and asking directions, well, that is just a drop in the bucket. So you have to get him to admit it and try and work on it, or learn to live with it and maybe temper it some over time, or just find another guy that is not quite as bad, and i am sorry to say that those are pretty much your only options. Good luck. I found an article that can give you some info, but it probably won't answer all of your questions, but it will give you some insight. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rabbi-shmu鈥?/a>
i think women have more
i havent got an article for you but i do have a fool proof method for getting a man to pay attention and listen up....calmly turn around and walk away...if they really love you and have care and concern for you...they will drop some of that pride and ego(burden that it is) in order to go after you...if they dont catch up to you...they havent dropped enough(holding on to too much still) hope that helps...and good luck
