The effect of gender on everything--emotional processing, relationships, personality--has always fascinated me. I think it's fine to diss on "selfish men" as a group. The size of that group makes no difference in how I'd deal with it, and to assume figures, even general ones that use words like "many" or "most," isn't rational or useful.

I'll agree with you. I don't like selfish people, but selfish males in particular frustrate me. Perhaps it's because their motives differ because of their gender, and it's hard for me as a girl to understand them. But I can't hold them responsible for that.

Anyway, I feel for you. There are too many selfish people in the world, and I'm sorry you've had bad experience with them. Apparently there are people reading a lot into this, when I'm sure all you're looking for is support.
