not being touchy just wanted to challenge some things you said, so if females cannot be narcissistic because of some mythological story then what are they being when they are overly absorbed with their appearance? I don't think narcissism is something only one gender is prone to! 
You know what? You are so right! Actually, vanity or narcissism is not gender specific. There are likely just as many women, if not more than men who have an obsession with themselves and how they look. I actually suspect being narcissistic is born of some manner of insecurity.
In my case, I check out how I look in the mirror more often then is probably healthy because I have insecurities regarding my appearance. People frequently comment on how good I look and how surprised they are that I am as old as I am. When this happens, I simply think they are being kind and lying....maybe they are.
I have been vain since I was a kid. Something in my upbringing led me to believe I would be more admired because I was a stud. Logically, I know that it is more important what people think about me because of who I am and not because of how I look. To this day, I cannot completely accept this....that ever lurking insecurity?
It might be more interesting for other Getbiggers if we were in disagreement. The truth is we are not. I posted without much forethought. You called me on it and you were right.
I frequently like to push the boundaries of what it means to be bisexual verses those who proclaim to be absolutely straight as an arrow and in doing so, have set myself up for a lot of ridicule, which is okay BTW since it keeps the conversation going.
Perhaps I was imposing my own narcissism/insecurity into the post I made. Lord knows, I am not perfect. I am as flawed as many are. There is comfort in knowing I am not alone.
