Mine's bigger than yours....

[peeonme]

I find it really sickening and stupid that some are so immature and insecure that they must try to boost their fragile egos by always promoting themselves.

This isn't about trump, but his need to tell all that he is smarter than Tillerson reminded me of others who operate in this fashion.

When others must point out their obvious qualities (not to say trump possesses the higher IQ, but he has a need to believe that he does) be it their height, strength, dick size, good looks or how smart they are to me it reeks of how fragile they are.

I have dealt with people that had a need to point out nearly on a daily bases how tall they were. How smart they are.

So, have you dealt with some like this?

I could have said what you just said a helluva lot better and in a helluva lot less words.

I thought this was gonna be about dick size.

I'm a bigger dick than all of you.

To answer your question, I never saw the sense of living life as a full-time competition. I've met people who do and I dealt with them only when absolutely necessary. Otherwise, I avoided them.

Speaking of dick size, I knew a guy back in the 80s. He was a nice enough guy, but he was always going on about the size of his dick. I finally got fed up with it one night and showed him mine.

He never mentioned it again.

I hope that I haven't been this guy a few times in my life. I used to try to chase the in crowd and was impressed with status symbols. I have talked about what I've done or have, but I think of it as just conversation, but it may have been to impress someone as well as myself a few times. Maybe it was to bolster my ego because I am probably not really that impressive. Although sometimes it was just to fill the dead space with conversation and I am interested in hearing from others about things to do or see.

My beef is with conspicuous consumption, where people spend money they don't have on things they don't need, to impress people they don't like.

Those that shout loudest either have most to hide or least to shout about

This reminds me of a story that happened to me several years ago
I was at a friend's apartment and he had invited his straight neighbour up for a chat etc
My friend thought the other guy was 'available' so we set about finding out
To that end we gave him a massage. We had him naked except for his boxer shorts when he said stop. So we did
When it was time for me to leave he walked me down the stairs and then invited me to stay the night (it was much more convoluted than that but that is the essense of it)
We undressed to our underwear and I turned over to sleep (honestly nothing else was on my mind)
He immediately spooned me and reached round asking if I was hard. I said no
He said he was and expressed surprise at how big I was saying 'I thought I was big but you are huge'
I reached back expecting to find a monster and was very disappointed to find a hard little cock of about 3 inches!
It is so true that straight guys have no idea what a big cock is

I feel bad for people who are in constant need of trying to impress others or always try to one up. They are desperate for some kind of recognition and/or need a feeling of being better than others.

I had a guy at work that used to do this. I would bullshit with other employees all the time because it was early morning before even customers came in. He used to one up my stories all the time.

One time I told this story to a fellow employee about how I was chased by a turkey. He was chased by an animal before too, on apparently 5 separate occasions by 5 different animals. As much as these stories could be true, he just always did this. I used to get irritated but eventually just started eye rolling because I expected it over time.

This kind of egomania is going to get us all killed.

You can't be 'that guy' a few times in your life. It's something of a full-time job.
