A mix of arrogance, entitlement, and narcissistic thinking. Let’s break it down clearly:
1. Arrogance & Entitlement
- Belief that they are “special” and above basic effort.
- Think they don’t need to groom, dress well, or maintain health because “people still like me.”
- Overestimation of their own attractiveness or charm, even when appearance and hygiene are poor.
- Dismissal of partner’s feelings, needs, or complaints.
2. Delusions of Universal Admiration
- Convinced other women still fancy them, regardless of behavior, appearance, or age.
- Assumes their value is inherent, not maintained by effort or care.
- Often ignores reality, relying on past attention or superficial charm.
3. Effects on Relationships
- Causes resentment in partners, because the arrogance creates imbalance: they get emotional, physical, or financial neglect while expecting admiration.
- Leads to reduced effort in intimacy and household responsibilities.
- Can combine with stinginess, mean behavior, or emotional coldness, because they feel entitled and untouchable.
4. Why This Happens
- Deep ego inflation: they’ve been praised or admired in the past and haven’t been challenged.
- Narcissistic traits: self-centered thinking, lack of empathy, belief that rules don’t apply to them.
- Some use delusions of admiration as a shield against insecurities—if they believe everyone loves them, they don’t have to confront failures.
⚠️ Reality Check
Even if a man thinks he’s irresistible, most partners can see clearly:
- Poor hygiene, shabby clothing, low effort, and meanness erase perceived charm.
- Over time, arrogance combined with neglect erodes love and respect, no matter past attention or delusions.
