> [@Maggie\_the\_Ocelot](#): > > Why not? “I’m a seriously bad dude” is just as much of a brag as “I’m such a nice guy” Yeah, but bragging isn’t really what it seems the OP is going for. But in your defense, most of the other responses don’t seem to fit either. The OP wrote “make a playlist of songs about what a great guy I am” and his/her three examples fit that. Examples about what a great lover or how sexy one is don’t really fit. ---

> [@IvoryTowerDenizen](#): > > Why? When people talk about what a “great guy” someone is, they generally don’t mean what a skillful lover or how sexy one is. A “great guy” is charitable, selfless, a very helpful friend, etc. That common definition of “great guy” is what is being bragged about in the three examples the OP gave. ---

Ok, but I was looking more at the self-aggrandizing description of the OP. But I can see what you’re saying too. ---

Hmm. Well, you probably need to narrow your scope a bit. Most people who write, sing, produce and do all the other work needed to get a song to be a famous hit, do so because on some level they are narcissistic, so there are TONS of self-worship songs. Maybe what you want are just the most maudlin, annoying ones. Like “Diary,” by Bread. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/alright-so-he-is-kinda-heavy/781227.md?page=1)
