The Male Ego

A friend of mine reminded me the other day that men have "fragile egos"

That's interesting....because women have fragile hearts.

What a big difference...

Men care more about their ego and women care more about their heart.

Definition of ego:

- egotism; conceit; self-importance: Her ego becomes more unbearable each day.

- self-esteem or self-image; feelings: Your criticism wounded his ego.

Definition of heart:

- the center of the total personality, esp. with reference to intuition, feeling, or emotion: In your heart you know I'm an honest man.

- the center of emotion, esp. as contrasted to the head as the center of the intellect: His head told him not to fall in love, but his heart had the final say.

- capacity for sympathy; feeling; affection: His heart moved him to help the needy.

- spirit, courage, or enthusiasm: His heart sank when he walked into the room and saw their gloomy faces.

While (some) men are out caring about their ego and what others think, women are out there trying as hard as hell to protect their hearts from being broken.

The difference: women are cautious and men are suspicious.
