Admiration issues.

[Dubious]

Is it particularly difficult to admire a narcissistic person ?
I think it is.

He is a kind of sucker or a kind of vampire even and therefore repulsive.

In most cases, yes. However there are those with exceptional charisma usually accompanied by equally exceptional talents whose narcissism merely becomes part of the mystery of their personalities. It's not unusual in the art world.

Someone like Oscar Wilde ?

Some people seem to say by their body language: you can´t resist my charm, can you ?

Casanova might have been one of them, and Bel Ami (from a novel by Maupassant).

They don´t force you to admire them, they only want to see what happens. You are free to ignore them. They accept if you do.

Oscar Wilde is certainly one. Add Byron and Goethe. Picasso is another and also the likes of Alfred Hitchcock. Most artists and geniuses are by nature narcissistic. They almost have to be to succeed. What I'm saying is narcissism is not always objectionable and may even be indispensable. It depends by whom and how it's practiced. The most creative and charismatic personalities usually have more than their fair share of narcissism which sometimes pretends to be the opposite of what it really is.

[Hobbes' Choice]

It seems to me that many men are resentful against women because they do not feel admired by them as they think they should be.

Is there a solution to this problem ? .

Yes a pleasure-bot.


Sadly before the are even INVENTED. The moral majority is up in arms.

Oscar Wilde was flamboyant and witty, but I certainly wouldn't call him a narcissist. His writing indicates a deep sensitivity to others and understanding of the human condition--not traits that are normally associated with narcissism.
