"Men really are more narcissistic than women"

"Researchers concluded that men had a greater senses of entitlement, making them more likely to exploit others.
The findings were consistent across multiple age groups and generations, said the study's authors at the University at Buffalo School of Management.
However, men can take comfort in one conclusion from the study -narcissism may also have some positive effects.
"Narcissism is associated with various interpersonal dysfunctions, including an inability to maintain healthy long-term relationships, unethical behaviour and aggression," said Emily Grijalva, assistant professor of organisation and human resources, and the paper's lead author. "At the same time, narcissism is shown to boost self-esteem, emotional stability and the tendency to emerge as a leader.""

Obvs.
There is this piece of advice about not caring what other people think (and not, like, 'I know it's hard but try' - like 'that's silly, why do you do that?') that I exclusively get from men and don't really understand, because do they really not care what other people think?, and I guess this helps clarify that distinction in experience of others' judgments.
