Do you think that men (in general, of course, there are always exceptions) have delicate egos?

And if you do, why do you think that's so?

Yes. Because they like to be told what a great job they did no matter what it was ... big or small.

I think it varies by testosterone levels. The higher the level of hormone, the more egotistical.

Agree with you Preds. I have been giving out gold stars for dumping the garbage. Funny what they find to be proud of. I just got done polishing his halo!

Not any more than women. A lot of women constantly need validation and to have their egos stroked too.

I think I agree with this post, ego delicacy is not gender-specific.

So does the fragility of the ego increase with the testosterone level?

But I am interested to know WHY it's so (if it's so).

Are they just born that way? Is it related to hormonal balance?

I think they define themselves differently than women.
