The Male Ego

As a man, do you ever notice, like myself, how you feel inclined to open doors, or walk on the dangerous side of the street for the opposite sex? Did our parents teach us this courtesy? Or are like me when you are at the gym, and try to out-perform your male counterparts? What causes us to either sustain what we've been taught as manners, or in many cases, be naturally competitive? Most likely this is a trait of our male ego.

One of the most difficult and complex obstacles men face during this life changing period is our ego. They say women are a complex machine and very hard to figure out because they are comprised of many levels of consciousness. Yet men are just as complex although our emotional levels are not as sensitive as our female counterparts. As men we are born and bred, mentally, to be the provider, the enforcer, and the backbone of most situations. This translates to the physical as well. We do man things, we play ball, wrestle, lift weights and are very competitive. As we get older, we start to see the younger, more evolved male generation tackle the same issues, but with more ease. At times we are jealous of this when actually we should be more observant and learn from our younger generation. They are figuring it out for the better. The younger generation is less conservative and are allowing themselves to grow beyond the masculine mold - The Metro Sexual. This makes life less stressful. Seeing and implementing their way of thinking will simplify our lives and be less damaging to our egos in the future.
