Men and always being right

This is going to sound a really odd question, but can some guys explain to me why they always have to be right, and refuse to back down even if they're wrong. Was discussing this at college today with the lads and no-one knew. Im just interested tis all

You're confusing men with women; that's OK, I do that all the time, where I come from.

It's not just men, it's a certain personality type. I'm like it most of the time (and if you try and argue this with me... :wink:

)

Although perhaps you have a point in saying that it is more predominant in men...I don't know about that although I have a fair bit of anecdotal experience.

It's because men are alwas right. If you disagree, you're wrong.

I don't have to be right... but it comes naturally, so it seems pointless to deny the inevitable.

This has been noted as a major character flaw of mine, both by family and girlfriends. Of course, they're obviously wrong.

A girl I know (and an ex best friend) is the most "I always have to be right" person I have ever met. She feels the need to be right about everything, especially stuff she knows NOTHING about. (She attempted to argue with my father, who's a doctor, over medical treatment). So yeah... not just boys!

I never think im right.
Assuming im wrong is natural.

When someone tells me im right, theyre usually wrong too.

a man's best friend is his ego... guys will always try to boost up their ego in EVERYTHING (jus observe and u'll see)

but his ego is also his weakest point... coz it's very fragile...

thats why men tend to put up the "i'm always right" attitude all the time...

but remember one thing (this is to all you girls): dont go for a guy who's so egotistical that he keeps arguing all the time... he's probably VERY insecure...

oh...and NEVER hurt a guy's ego, escpecially if you like him...coz it will tend to turn very nasty... :P

this is some priceless information, but hey, there ya go...

damn beat me to it, oh well, however men can be persuaded that theres is not the only correct answer by some suave (spelling?) diplomacy and/or sex, but yeah generally its our ego, but please remember not all men have the same need to boost ego, however i am unfortuneatly one of those types of men that likes to boost ego, but hey i gotta have a flaw somewhere :biggrin:
