dressing up Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 Why do some women feel the need to "flaunt" by telling you how many dates they go on? I know this woman in her forties that doesn't pass up a chance to tell people she knows how suddenly desirable she feels, that many men have asked her out. Even if there are many red flags from the stories she tells you, she doesn't agree that they are red flags. Do you know any women like that? Is it common? Does that happen more with age? What's the reason for such behavior? Do you ever feel compelled to tell people such things?
gamma1 Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 A number of the women I've gone on first dates with tell me that they easily get tons of dates and some of them assume I easily get dates also. It's not fun to hear since I usually go months between dates.

It's not fun to hear since I usually go months between dates. That particular woman I know said she tells that to men she goes on dates with the same thing you heard to show them that other men find her attractive. I can understand her doing that to make the men she's on dates with to pursue her harder. But I can't understand why she has to say that to mostly females, some of whom are her friends. Anyone?

kdark Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 It's really just the ego? What else could it be? It's an arrogant thing to say.
2sunny Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 It's really just the ego? to boost her self esteem - because she's so insecure she has to tell how many people she's courting... even if she were - there is never a need to say it out loud to anyone - unless she's looking to feed her ego. it screams insecurity. a secure person would never talk of such things... there is no need.

I think she is trying to cover up her insecurities, not a mature thing, but understandable
Author dressing up Posted August 1, 2010 Author Posted August 1, 2010 She doesn't come across as insecure though. So that's surprising.
Author dressing up Posted August 1, 2010 Author Posted August 1, 2010 I think she is trying to cover up her insecurities, not a mature thing, but understandable What do you mean it's understandable? That someone's insecure or trying to hide the insecurities?
Author dressing up Posted August 1, 2010 Author Posted August 1, 2010 I think some females like to compete with each other. But what's there to compete? Some of us don't really know her that well and some others are her friends.
Lovelybird Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 What do you mean it's understandable? That someone's insecure or trying to hide the insecurities? both. Everyone gets insecurities. Overly doing is usually covering up. and she does so because she feels lack of If she feels there is a man really cares about her, and they have strong bonds, and she is attractive enough to have that, she won't feel the need to tell everyone she has so many dates line up.

Now I don't know whether to feel sorry for her or be annoyed that she'll talk our ears off more from now.
