Does the Average Woman exhibit Narcissistic Personality Disorder?


I did a Web search using these keywords "self-centered, inconsiderate personality" just to see what would come up, the results blew me away. I discovered that most woman have "Histrionic/Narcissistic Personality Disorder. " if they meet all five of the criteria for the disorder:


1. Has a grandiose sense of self-importance.

2. Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love.

3. Requires excessive admiration.

4. Is interpersonally exploitative (i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends) and lacks empathy.

5. Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her.

do all women love themselves?


When I related these symptoms to some of my buddies, they observed that "this sounds like every woman in the world." It would certainly describe most beautiful women. You see Doc? Here's scientific data supporting your idea that "The Beautiful Woman is the most dangerous creature on the planet. "


Some women claim they are kind and loving (doesn't always seem to be true when you meet them), and the bottom line is they want a man who:


1. Is financially secure (I translate that to mean richly prosperous - some sort of corporate exec)


2. Will sugar-daddy them (women claim they love "fine dining," "travel," and "shopping")


3. Expect that *we* will overlook all of their problems, issues, and assorted baggage (but we had better be perfect).


Why can't a woman simply want a regular guy, who has an honest job, is clean, healthy, and takes care of himself? And why is it, when both parties are investing in one another to hopefully find a future together, that it is the man only who is expected to pay all of the tab?


Do we all have to be corporate executives, and be willing to assume all of the risk? Or is this just a New generation thing?
