A Man’s Ego

“What’s more fragile than a woman’s heart?
A man’s ego.”

Let me explain. When you first meet a man and he lies to you about what his economic status is or what his current relationship status is, that’s all to protect his ego. You see, at that point, he’s decided that he’s interested in you, but his insecurities are telling him that you won’t accept him for who or what he is. So, he creates an illusion of who he thinks you would like him to be, thus reducing his chances of rejection. However, when you look a little deeper, it’s not the rejection alone that he fears most. What he fears the most is the feeling that rejection causes and how that feeling impacts his ego. That is, in fact, his worst fear.
In the end, some men would be willing to go to any lengths to protect their egos, up to and including lying to you, cheating on you, and ultimately breaking your heart.
