Self admiring addiction, brag or self marketing to attract guys?

[William]

Gosh, being an older man I'm probably not the person to be attempting to answer this however!

I think we all need to feel good about ourselves and part of that self promotion is an attempt to gain admiration. In many cases this demonstrates a severe lack of self esteem, but not always. People largely respond to public opinion, unless they are mega rich and therefore don't care what people think..

To a large degree if left to its own devices, society would do a good job of regulating and policing itself, without the need for legal measures. There is the problem of course is that when members of society attempt to discriminate between what they consider is right or wrong, they are themselves discriminated against when prosecuted for discrimination!
