Is it sexy, or is it extremely annoying? When I think of arrogance, usually, I think of confidence, strong, and certain. But I wonder if I only associate positive words with the word “arrogance” because I am more annoyed by men with extremely low-self-esteem.
Do you ever want to say, “Look, I really like you; but one compliment is nice, and two is flattering, but three in the same setting is border line frustrating”. I mean you say “thank you” then you say “you are so sweet”, but shit – then what - thank you again?
Anyway, back to “arrogance”. At what point is it ok to say, “you are cute and all, but you are not all that?” But then again, if he is all that and he is with you, what does that make you; all that too, right? So, should that make it ok?
Let’s relate this topic to “single motherhood”. Is it possible for a man to assume that he can be a little arrogant, stuck up, or overly confident; when dealing with a single mother, because he feels that we should be happy that he is dealing with us in the first place? I think some men do look at it in that way. I also think if they are looking at in that way then they realize that it is an uneven exchange –meaning they have to step in a roll that is separate from the roll they play with you, which is true. In that case, deal with his arrogant attitude because what’s worst is getting with someone who feels that their relationship is with you and with you alone.
