Just wondering how life would be like if I dont have any humility

my brother is like that.
Well he gets loads of beautifull girls, but unless they are totally submissive dumbies (that he get tired of in week anyway) he can never keep them around around long. He would just never put himself in question. He would think he is perfect, which makes him impossible to have a conversation with sometimes. And it just drived the girls he was in love with away. It got him suffering a few times and now he starts being less difficult, more humble with girls, well he told me so.
everything should be in moderation i guess. keep a little humility. Save it aleast for in case you happen to be wrong.

being arrogant is basically being perfectly in touch with your confidence. Totally being able to admit it when many don't dare trusting themselve for fear of looking like an idiot.

edit since no more posts

You mentioned that its difficult to have a conversation with your brother sometimes because of his arrogance, however how does one do that? Wouldnt he look like socially retarded if he just goes on and on about himself? Then how come people (in theory) are supposed to gravitate towards them?

i put it in red so you can spot it. It's not that i'm mad or that i want to make it look bloody or anything
well being arrogant doesn't necessaraly mean going on and on about yourself, that would be egocentrism which, sometimes goes with arrogance but not necessarily always.

A lot of poeple would be considered arrogant if they freely spoke what they think is good about themselve ( or show it in their attitude) which is pretty easy. So that would be a way to be arrogant, if deep down you trusted yourself but just needed to let it out.
Others that are really insecure would need to do a little bit more work on themselve in order to be arrogant. Find out what they are good at, what is cool about themself and don't hesitate to brag about shamelessly. When my brother do that, girls think it's sexy, mostly cause they are not sure he is joking and he always does it in a charming way.

You need to get a mind of a leader. Not be afraid to take initiatives, and go through with them. Not be affraid to make mistakes. Sometimes don't even acknowledge your mistakes. IF you are doing/saying something and half way in it you realise you are wrong just ignore that and keep on with confidence^^actually try being so confident you don't even realise you're wrong, That's true arrogance and well it's a bit risky, but my brother get away with it a fair amount of times.
natural leaders strongly beleive in themselve, that's why poeple beleive in them. Although try to not get over the top, cause if the girl sees you're bragging about something that she can see is obviously deluded, the spell i broken ( unless she just takes it as a joke.)

personally i'm a girl and i'm french and here we don't embarass ourselves with so many codes like " never be arrogant" the truth is sometimes you know what you're saying/doing is right and you should not be affraid of expressing it because poeple would think you're being arrogant.
most philosphes say thathumilitty is often a good thing cause it unables you to progress toward the truth, to keep learning. But i tell them: at the end of the day what is infinite knowledge worth if you don't have enough arrogance to speak it out, and fight for it which wouldn't be humble?
you should just learn until you die and never apply or share your knowledge, your capacities???
( it's what i said in a philosophy essay at my senior year high school finals and i got the maximum grade )

Ok, thats a start, you see I was raised NOT to be arrogant I dont fully understood what it is. And, I never met someone who is arrogant or maybe I did I just dont know it.

You see, I just want to try new things, i kinda want to move away from the usual positive or balanced things and more to the dark triad kind, you know, just to see what its like.

You don't want to be arrogant. Failing to admit that you are HUMAN and MAKE MISTAKES is going to lead you down the road of delusion. You don't want to be delusional. There is absolutely nothing good about being a delusional narcissist.

Forget the whole "arrogance" thing.

Just be confident. It takes true confidence to know that you have faults, and to admit to your shortcomings. The ability to admit your mistakes also allows for more self-improvement. If you are arrogant, you will never improve.

arrogance is confidence overdone. While I have been called out on this by friends, its generally something I don't strive for.

if you want to become arrogant, get good at something. Like really good. When you have enough people telling you that you are sick at something, you'll buy into the hype and start to feel you can do no wrong. Generally its at this point when you go from confident to arrogant.

It pays to keep a level head on things. Look at Cornelius of Rome who ran for office after being a hero in the Roman army. As soon as he talked, people saw he was a common braggart and he basically killed his political career. The message the author was trying to get across was to say less than you need too. Being arrogant will piss off people and this will hinder you from any sort of success in life. My advice: get good at something, be confident , but also realize that your advancement in life is also due to other people. By failing to acknowledge that, you will always fall short.

Arrogance is pure confidence tainted by the corruption of selfishness.

Yes, I saw that red wall lol

To all those above, I just figured that if I cant appear confident enough I can be arrogant and then tone it down as needed as it will be easier than to have confidence out of thin air. I am usually quiet because I dont feel the need to be loud or anything.

And I do think I need to work on my confidence anyway because I am only confident when there is an audience e.g. my friends

i've seen so many girls fall hard for arrogance. Because they are stupid and just do not see teh mistakes, think the guy is perfect and develop a crazy admiration for him. I promise it works. There is so many girls that my brother crushed carelessly but that are still texting him nice things. Want to see him if he is in town, etc etc.
It doesn't work on smart girls but it def works on influencianable girls. And by what i've seen a lot of those latest are hot hot hot.

So....do you like arrogant guys?

So....do you like arrogant guys?

no of course, but it doesnt mean it doesn't work on so many other girls.

I would be frustrated if i was with a guy that wouldn't want to sit and oppose each other agruments, and that would just assume he is right all the time. I guess it only work on girls that don't think much ( they are numerous)

even though i'm aware my bf is dead smart i'm still not an admirative vegatable and I still can call him out on his bul****. Now I guess that one of the things he likes in me. he is in love with a girl who he can actually have an interactive conversation with.
actualy today he told me that he thought i was thoughtfull, that i would think about stuffs before forming a statement when he was used since childhood to choose an opinion quickly then defend it like his own life^^. His parents are diplomats so like when he was a little kid they would put pressure on him for him to be good at arguing his position maybe before even being good at reflecting.

He told me he was trying to be more like me which surprised me because often I catch myself trying to be more like him=>that is to say a good politician/leader.

it's what i mean when i said having the truth seems worthless if you can't share it. And yes sharing it takes to be arrogant at some point, and standing above everyone saying that you, and only you around, have it right.


( oh and of course being thoughtfull and smart for a girl is only ok/enjoyable if she is also turn you on like no other. Otherwise it's just annoying. It's my guess)

I have been told I am quite arrogant, by pretty much everyone lol. I think arrogance gets a bad rep, it's not arrogant if it's true. I think I am a better person than most people. Sorry, i'm not going to pretend like I don't feel that way, but I eel like that, because I look at my life and I look at everyone else around me, and i'm just so much cooler/a better person.I mean I am not an ******* but, I mean, it is what it is.

Confidence is the ability you have to do a task. Arrogance is thinking that you can do a certain task better than someone else, or do something better than someone else. Guiltily on both counts.

I wasn't always arrogant in fact I used to be quite the opposite. Arrogance, along with confidence comes with accomplishment. Set goals and accomplish them, and keep reaching higher.

Sorry but in the real world we dont' give out 5th place white ribbins for effort, there are real winners and losers in life. And some people like me win more than others.

And people who say arrogance is a turn or please.. you dont' now how man times I've been parlaying with a woman and she will say, you know what, you are pretty arrogant aren't you.. I admit it's kinda sexy. And I mean.. I don't try to be I just am. It's my persona. I'm an arrogant bastard lol. Women like a arrogant man becuase woman want the best. Women want a man that thinks he is the best. But true arrogance only comes with true accomplish and true self worth.
