[Narcissism among college students is increasing even faster than previously thought, finds a new study by researchers from San Diego State University and the University of South Alabama. The increase is especially steep among college women.](http://www.sdsuniverse.info/sdsuniverse/news.aspx?s=71137) ---

Well that’s a no-brainer. I was walking to class and must have walked past a few dozen good-lookin’ bodies in bikinis who appeared to be sunbathing for their own benefit versus showing off what they’ve got. /: ---

Im not being racist but narcissism is especially much more rampant among white girls and many ‘whitenized’ Asian girls. However, I blame Hollywood for all this. ---

> [@xev](#): > > Those narcissists have had too many good experiences, that’s their problem.🆒 Probably. I’ve seen that happen. And sometimes I’ve seen that not happen. It’s strange. It’s almost like a “you’re not cool unless you do it” kind of a thing, I think. ---

I used to be of the Jewish persuasion, but later in life I converted to narcissism. ---

And we needed a study to figure this out? Look at what is on TV these days. When you have such winners as “Tela Tequila: A Shot At Love” and these other “reality” shows, this is to be expected. It’s not just Hollywood, it’s advertising and media in general. ---

> [@xev](#): > > Those narcissists have had too many good experiences, that’s their problem.🆒 yes, exactly. the last truly severe recession ended in 1982 and since the early 90s the overall economic environment in anglosaxon countries has been improving ever since. alas, I fear the next few decades might not be so easy. we will look back on these years in wonder. ---

controversial, but q interesting [F. Roger Devlin on Wendy Shalit’s GIRLS GONE MILD](http://www.thornwalker.com/ditch/devlin_shalit.htm) [Decivilizing: Human Nature Unleashed Roissy in DC](http://roissy.wordpress.com/2008/07/23/decivilizing-human-nature-unleashed/) Men of the older generation are insufficiently aware how uncouth women have become. I came rather late to the realization that the behavior I was observing in women could not possibly be normal—that if women had behaved this way in times past, the human race would have died out. The reader who suspects me of exaggerating is urged to spend a little time browsing women’s self-descriptions on Internet dating sites. They never mention children, but almost always manage to include the word “fun.” “I like to party and have fun! I like to drink, hang out with cool people and go shopping!” The young women invite “hot guys” to contact them. No doubt some will. But would any sensible man, “hot” or otherwise, want to start a family with such a creature? ---

RE: Roissy “I can tell you right now about 90% of the women I’ve fucked in the past nine months (double digits) were, barring a character transplantation, completely unworthy as marriage material.” The hypocrisy of this statement just floors me… ---

Well it’s no surprise. Alot of young women of today believe that their lives are over by the age of 30. That their only self worth is measured in self aesthetic. They feel a need to get as much mileage out of that decade as possible otherwise they won’t be able to attach themselves to a millionaire that will secure their life of sitting on a couch watching shitty daytime television. Who needs critical thinking and intelligence when you can be beautiful instead? Maybe just a little knowledge of divorce law. Even if you don’t there’s people that can do that for you as well. Ok I’m starting to get a little cynical. Don’t get me wrong. Men can be just as terrible if not worse. Likely worse, as women have little sway in the indoctrination _ahem_ um… I mean… uh.. entertainment and media industries. ---

We all know that women would rather be pretty than smart…because men can see better than they can think. ---

However he does explain quite clearly a) why he isn’t looking for strong character in lovers and b) why he believes his promiscuity will only raise his value on the marriage market. ---
