i don't believe females are selfish by nature...alot is expected from everyone including females so why shouldn't we try to hold on to a bit of ourselves, alot of times this is construed as selfish but I know plenty of men who do the same

I think everyone is selfish to a certain degree. We all have a percentage of the character of defects that are out there...It is a part of who we are. It also depends on the definition that your going by. Sometimes I think that I am not being selfish and someone will point out that I am. Or I will feel that someone else is being selfish and I am seeing it completely wrong. If it is pointed out to you that you have alot of selfish ways, then it is time to start looking at it and doing something different about it. Selfishness is not always a bad thing, it can be a good thing...it depends if it is used in a negative way or not. I am selfish when it comes to putting my recovery first. If I don't have that first then I don't have anything!

People are here after all to find a mate to make themselves feel good.

Isn't that kinda selfish?

How many people came here saying to themselves...

"I bet there is a lonely guy/gal out there that I can make feel wonderful without any though about my personal wants/needs."

As a side note: Biting into a nasty piece of saltwater taffy will wake you up.

I don't think that finding a mate to make me feel good is selfish at because if I'm feeling good then my mate is getting it right back!!!

at first I didn't reply but that was because I was very nervous and shy! Getting better about that. I didn't mean to be rude. I guess you could say we are all applicants of sorts our profile is kinda like a resume. You either like what you see or you don't which makes you reply or not reply.

I agree with your first statements very much Jen. As far as guys being selfish I believes it's about the same. There are also just as many unselfish and too giving men out there too! People like that tend to get taken advantage of the most until they get burned a few times or more for it. Selfish people do not care, they are only takers as well as givers for their own benefits. If you have too much of a giving nature you are bait for opportunists, whether male or female, until we learn the hard way to be wiser. I also believe some selfish people can change too and learn the hard way that they have to change. oh well, just babbling, lol! Just my thoughts.

selfishness means different things for different people. i think it would be best if people said what the exact things that other's do that seems selfish to them. for example i consider selling one's broken down car to someone else selfish. i also consider people who don't move their carts out of the way in the supermarket selfish.

All good points made. Also there is that concept of people pleasing. I use to be bad with that. When I stopped certain others (not all) would say I was being selfish. It's finding that balance, and being true to yourself! By nature I am sure that I can be selfish, people pleasing, and a martyr at times. But I am not trying to be a hateful, spiteful person when I act this way.....(I hope) LOL

"woman in general are only selfish when it comes to there happiness"

that's what selfishness means. lack of concern for others well being/happiness. put yourself first. 110% effort for yourself while 50% is sufficient for others.

bathing, working, and sleeping don't count. men have to do it too. children, clothes, food, cleaning is housework. consider it the cost of wanting children. if your husband is not helping maybe you aren't saying anything. would you want it the other way around?

you have got to be F@@@ing kidding me!

Wizard,
Children are not housework or chores, lmfao. The future of where you'll be in the nd, yes. Can you really be that selfish as to even consider what you said? There aren't like taking out the trash or cleaning your car...Living beings that take many years to rear...

OMG, too much, you are. You need someone to hug and kiss all that coldness away, I think:) A chore, hell...
