i think that a real man needs to be motivated, not just stroked.  though, sometimes stroking is a form of motivation.

Sometimes?
to clarify: i meant ego stroking.

Most NT people like their ego's stroked in one way or the other most of the time...either externally or subliminally

I haven't met ANYONE who doesn't like their ego stroked.

I don't think I know what to do with it usually though

...usually other people expect it back and I don't necessarily think I am particularly good at it...therefore it feels as though the whole world wants it.

Shit..did that make sense?

It's one of my weaknesses. Despite being very cynical, I've always been unable to reject flattering of myself.  :-[

Even if you do it to yourself?

No, it always throws me...

well usually...unless it's a compliment on something I know I'm really good at.

Not necessarily...he just may take the it as a reinforcement of fact.  That's how I interpret some compliments. 

If someone says something that is designed to stroke my ego, and I can't judge it as fact then it just pisses me off and confuses me sometimes.

I'm probably not going to name one person in particular, because there is no point in that.

Not keen on proposing that I can judge AS either, the essence of the thread was that it just pisses me off the amount of people who want to tag themselves in general...

The use of the word Airhead was basically "in order to stroke my ego and make myself feel cool, I will have the latest coolest social-tag to account for my incessant self interest"

much like "in order to stroke my ego and make myself feel cool, I will buy the latest handbag I saw Paris Hilton with" or insert whatever external or subliminal thing you wish.

By airhead, I mean ego stroker who values little else but themselves and how they look to the world.
