Unless the male's /deviant (vanity centric, conceited, selfish)//ego/
requires the *power over* feeling of /taking /the /most convenient
beautiful, younger/ woman very often against her will (or desire). NOTE:
these problems move through both sexes (just work the opposites through
your mind).

Except the DSM definition went much farther than ordinary human
frailty. Incidentally, Keith, the "youngest and most [conventionally]
beautiful woman" is not necessarily the most gratifying -- either long
term or immediately.

I don't think that narcissism (or egotism, vanity, conceit,
selfishness) are socially deviant. They are part and parcel of
human nature. We may be social mammals but we are also individuals
underneath. A male, given the opportunity will have sex with the
youngest and most beautiful woman he can find. A woman, looking
for a parental partner will choose the most economically secure
man she can conveniently find. Neither gives a great deal of
thought to the longer tomorrow, only to their immediate needs.
Narcissism , egotism, vanity, conceit, selfishness, among other
"sins" were abstractions used as control devices by male religion
organizers, not to mention the very real sufferings they've
imposed on others throughout history.

Narcissism normalised.
"Recently a NYTimes (http://is.gd/i3Cj9) article announced that
narcissism is being deleted from the tomb for psychiatric disorders.
Narcissism will not appear in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic
and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (due out in 2013, and
known as
DSM-5). What happens when what was once morally objectionable
behaviour
( egotism, vanity, conceit, selfishness) is no longer a 'legitimate'
social deviance? Is narcissism now so deeply embedded in the
collective
psyche that it is now 'normal'? Is this the ultimate end of the
neo-liberal exhalation of the individual, celebrity culture, a
century's
worth of advertising and the corporatisation of everyday life?"
