Male ego....please answer if you can.

Hello,

I'm looking for an answer from men and if you ladies have any input from past experiences, I'd be glad to get your thoughts too. I would also appreciate if anyone can get an answer from their husbands if you think it makes sense.

Often, when a man tries to get something from a woman and the woman does not give in, he takes a U-turn and pretend as if nothing happened. I've even seen some men take a different direction altogether from what they had originally planned just to hurt the women.

To make my point/question clear, here's a small example from Geet. Maan is trying to make Geet confess but she is not giving in. It may so happen that Maan will bring his male ego in and will act as if nothing happened. He will introduce Pari to Daadima. And all of this will be done in anger, frustration and pain. This is only an example....

How often does this happen? And how much have you suffered because of male ego? I'm sure both suffer in the bargain but how much of a damage has been caused due to male ego?

Please let me know what you think.


P.S. - I'm not saying Maan will take Pari and forget about Geet. This is purely from their confession standpoint and Maan's plan.

Thanks so much for replying.

OK. Sorry for the confusion. I didn't mean He'll take Pari and move on. But he will def hold Pari close for some time until they confess or the truth comes out.

ok, I'II be the first. I'm not a male but yes I met one with an ego and attitude problem. I was introduced to him and at the second meeting, I still wasn't sure about him. As soon as he picked upon the fact that I was in two minds about him, his character changed and he started to show attitude. He asked me what I wore in Summer and when I said jeans and trousers, he called me a tomboy because I didn't wear skirts or dresses. In fact, not just that, but he gave me a good half an hour lecture on the type of girl he saw me as. By the end of his lecture I felt like a nobody.........and for some stange reason I listened to his lecture and didn't say a word in return......I didn't get angry, upset....NOTHING!
I called it off but here is the strange thing.......why then, after that meeting and lecture could I not get him out of my mind for a good year later? I was starting to believe that I had feeelings for the guy........but I finally realised that I couldn't get him out of my mind because his harsh words had got to me. I don't have anything against the guy and perhaps some of the things he said about me were true..........but that was the girl I was........and if he couldn't accept that about me then he wasn't my Mr Right. So yes, Male ego can get to you and damage you to some extent.
Maan at first reminded me abit of him.......his attitude, his ego ......but Maan has a heart and does accept Geet for the simple, childish, chatterbox girl that she is and petty things like how she dresses does not bother him. However, egotistic men can't handle rejection and Maan is also one.

Male ego has always been a problem with most guy friends and may be even people i have liked ... they cant handle a woman knowing more than them... they want to have their way most of the times.. and never want to be proved wrong.. if they are ... they try and counter argue with some really silly come backs.. and this i have noticed not with one but a couple of people around me.. with whom i share different kinds of rishtas ... ( cousin, bhai, dost... etc) .. i guess men have been trained that way for centuries .. and they dont seem to get it when i argue .. that the simplest answer to all problems is not ... " i am a boy, so i have to be right "

sry guys i dont agree......his main problem vd geet is somewht different.....he has ego i wont deny it......geet looks at him vd eyes full of love, care, admiration.......and wht nt......she cares for him and loves him.....he knws.....

d tquestion he has is "y she is nt accepting it".......if he had ego he wuldnt see thngs which v can never ever expect frm The Maan Khurana.......d enigma......he has shed his inhibition to an extent and wants d same frm geet.......taking care of geet, taking her side, arranging food for her etc.......people came to knw dat he is changing........he motivates her to excel in life, job everythng.......still u think he has ego.....

i have seen male vd ego bt maan is nt one of dem..........at dis point he doesnt have ego..........dis is my POV..........

if v take man in general they cant except a gal as der superior, cant digest tht gals can b better den dem in any field........they will say dat gals dont think logically or they dont think at all coz all d brain was donated to d man........luckily i have encountered very few species like dat......at first meeting guys act goody goody bt once u start spending time vd dem u will come to knw wht actually dey think.......

You're psychic haha

[quote]Maan is trying to make Geet confess but she is not giving in. It may so happen that Maan will bring his male ego in and will act as if nothing happened. He will introduce Pari to Daadima.[/quote]

All this pretty much happened or was mentioned today. He told Geet that he was really drunk and whatever happened wasn't important.

There we have it, typical males trying to save their bruised ego.

And in the precap, he's already told Geet that he wiill be introducing Pari to his Daadi and that she can go.

Things didn't go his way, he was pretty much proven wrong in his mind by Geet - yet he isn't ready to admit that, to himself yes, but to others no. So what did he do? He went and acted as if nothing happened.

I find this really typical, but not in a bad way. Typically natural is what I'd like to call it. From what I've seen, it happens quite a bit in real life. It takes a lot to fight and overcome your ego and until then, you downplay anything that may have earned your ego a nice kick.
It's like a defense mechanism.
......oh man, return of psychology class lol...guess I am ready to get back to class 😕
