Just met a great guy and all he talks
about are his former girlfriends and
how wonderful they were and how he had to breakup with them because they were
so in love with him and he just couldn't commit. We get along great but
I am continually changing the subject
when the conversation go backs to them.
Is he insecure or trying to make me
jealous? I'm more mad than anything.
Any thoughts? Need advice.

i've had one boyfriend exactly like that (he's history now) a long time ago, and that stuff would infuriate me. It is the mark of a truly immature, insecure, manipulative type of person. I've seen women do it too. All it means is that they have seriously low self-esteem, so they feel they need to go on about how everyone loves them soooo much, in order to get the (fake, but that doesn't matter to them) "admiration" from other people. It's very sad, and it's very immature. Nobody who is secure with themselves would ever feel the need to tell someone all of these things repeatedly. It's very tacky.

p.s., and yes, he is trying to make you jealous and he is trying to boost his own ego. Don't fall for it. If I were you, I would not want to be involved with anyone like this. But if you stay with him, at least get him back in some way...make sure you mention how admired and sought after you are (and don't hesitate to talk about the exes as much as possible). 😛

(people are so dumb, why do they act like they do—)

True, this guy may be 'full' of himself, and he may not be trying to undermine you either.
He could also be in need of more excitement in the relationship. There are a lot of reasons for his 'behavior' as you know, so I wouldn't rule his being 'jealous' of you as another reason . Some men like to put women down in order to have the upper hand in the relationship.
But to be honest, leave the reason for his behavior aside and concentrate on improving yourself in the context of this 'relationship'.
If you feel that it may be a waste of your precious time, I see no reason why you should go on with it. I had learned a long time ago, that life is too short to waste on obviously 'dead end' conversations.
I would move on after two weeks if and when I keep changing the topic and 'he' goes back to it every possible chance.
We go out with men NOT to hear about their ex's . More sensitive men NEVER talk about their ex's even if it is the most obvious you would think for them to talk about at the time . It takes a GRAND man to do this, even if you probe him to do that. They will just 'change' the subject NOT TO HURT YOUR FEELINGS> Look for those men. They are around.

Thanks for the opinions , I appreciate all
your input. Kind of agree with phoenix rising
and the insecure,immature comment.That really
does suit him. I guess he is looking for the
upper hand too because I am very self sufficient
and independent in my life and career but not
very strong about my relationships with men.
Not that he knows anything about my previous boyfriends.
Don't know how much more excitement the relationship
needs since we only started dating and he seems
satisfied with how things are going.
Would like some feedback from the men out there,
any comments?

Sabrina its called the immature male symptom. They talk about old girl friends. Most of the time they had to let the poor things down easy.( there are two translations here one he got dumped. Two he never had a real girl friend he strikes out all the time) The old girl friends still have broken hearts. He was the best thing she ever knew. ( translation he is still a virgan or its seldom he get layed) He is the best sex most women ever had. One of my favorite he would get off if you showed him some bum.Im guessing he would last about 30 seconds in the sack. Let me guess the age between 17 and 25. Tell him to get real.

the news is that we are no longer together. For the best since the bragging never stopped. Thanks James for your thoughts you were right except
for the age much older but still acting
17.Couldn't look at the positive Rooster, but appreciated another male
opinion.
I'm dating someone else now,younger and
there's less talking in this relationship and more action ,if you know what I mean. 🙂
