I think this is one of those issues that is never looked at from any place of honesty. I think acceptable reasons are assigned to explain this phenomenon. The fit for TV answer is: Women like confidence. That is all that is going on here. They mistake narcissism as confidence. Open and shut case. ~OR~ That's just women with low self esteem. If they had healthy self esteem they would steer clear.
I agree Women like confidence but narcissism is very distinguishable. It doesn't blend in.
So what do you think? I have some thought's but I don't want to steal anyone's thunder who could say it better or influence your thoughts until I understand what your intuition is.
P.S..... Also PRETTY PLEASE and THANK YOU don't anyone hijack this thread by turning it into a complainathon about why girls don't like them but like other guys who do XYZ. I understand the enthusiasm just please not here. Plenty of other opportunities.
