Women who enjoy pretentious men feed the very ego which needs to be
extinguished. For this reason I choose to admire the ego without
feeding it. Please excuse my feminist attitude. Feminism and male
egoism (for obvious reasons) clash and create gender warfare.
I do not care for such controversy. But if it will help to liven up the
rhetorical meme, the female counter-part is amongst you, and quite
content admiring the male ego from afar.

Here's a few female thoughts to keep the balance.
Often when a female admires a hyper-educated,
"egotistic" male, the male will use his knowledge and
overconfidence as a means of seducing the female. The most discouraging
part is when the female elaborates on something she
knows a lot about, the man
really doesn't seem to give a shit. His eyes glaze over and he
somehow manages to manipulate the topic of conversation to a subject
he knows "all" about. If the female
counterpart argues a point made by the male counterpart, she
is wrong because

male always get final word.

The result?
A bunch of women who struggle to be (in the physical sense) the
"___ est" (fill in the blank with adjective describing an
attractive female). All because females didn't get enough
attention from their fathers. I know its not man's fault. Its the
result of an outdated meme that is deeply ingrained in our society.
