Male narcissism may cause disgust in women

Heterosexual women view male narcissism with weight and hostility, according to a Kent study State University, in the United States, published in the journal Sex Roles. Yet heterosexual men, gay men and women have a softer relationship.

Psychologist Scott Keiller, author of the research, has shown that low empathy for narcissists, feelings of ownership, and admiration and deserved deprivation may make this men more prone to aggression and revenge.

According to the researchers, this is probably triggered by the female potential in developing feelings of gratification, or frustration, at male narcissism. Women's reactions are crucial agents and even dressers on issues related to male sexual pleasure, patriarchal power, and status.

A total of 104 male students, aged 21 years or over, participated in the study. great American university. Keiller examined the degree of narcissism, sexist attitudes toward women and traditional female stereotypes, attitudes toward male stereotypes, and attitudes towards homosexual men and women.

Keiller's study examines whether hostility narcissist is absorbed in the same form and intensity by homosexual men and women. Thus, the researcher found that this male narcissism was strongly linked to hostility by heterosexual women, much more than the other groups.

The psychologist claims that, in fact, male narcissism was linked to more favorable attitudes by homosexual women and that it had no relation to the attitudes of homosexual men. "The study suggests that the narcissism of heterosexual men is strongly linked to attitudes of annoyance and anger by heterosexual women than by other groups. narcissists want to maintain feelings of superiority and power over people, "says Keiller. [

] Still according to the author, these results suggest that the relationships of narcissistic men would be far more patriarchal than egalitarian. "Narcissistic men are particularly interested in subordinating heterosexual women." The results suggest that narcissistic hostility is associated with the potential of this group to provide or retain gratification rather than ideology about their sexual orientation, "says Keiller. bad

Vanity itself is not bad, in fact it is even necessary, after all it is healthy to want to be well with you, and why not to the looks of others as well. The problem is when this search for good looks goes beyond the limits and value of the image too, interfering in life and culminating in frustrations.

According to psychologist Giuliano Pagotti, Unifesp, it is important to realize the time spent with attitudes that may indicate a certain compulsion, or being in the way of common activities such as working, studying, going out and having fun. "The problem is often not in appearance, but in the way the person is seeing himself."

Compulsion is a force that compels someone to repeat an act automatically, without deliberation or prior planning. "It is a desire or a will that the person does not control and that when he does not feel he is very bad." It is not just an annoyance, it is an ongoing malaise, propagated according to the issue of intensity.
