Male ego is a term that is frequently used in common speech as well as in the realms of psychiatry. It is used to refer to the attitude and behavior of a person who has an exaggerated opinion of his capabilities and importance. Such a person is primarily perceived to be a pompous and conceited person who tries to assert his importance in various ways usually in the presence of women. This sort of behavior is more often than not observed in men rather than women and hence is referred to as the male ego.
A male ego is often associated with a poor opinion of oneself in comparison with others and is believed to stem from an inherent complex which may alternate between feelings of superiority and inferiority resulting in the desire to impress others. The male ego manifests itself in various ways primarily related to one's accomplishments in life.
