I only allow four women in my inner circle, and they are not the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, but instead the four most important women I'd die to protect in case of such a disaster! Two daughters from my previous marriage, my Mum who still is alive and kicking at 89, and my future bride living way across the planet. Any and all possible distrations and seductions in that area are diligently filtered out, so I only connect to other females online who remain distant and decent!
It's not that I don't wish others to find a similar close connections than I have, it's just that I consciously choose to have only that number of relationships in my life. If you think I talk too much about myself, then you might be correct. But that's not about ego or selfishness, it's about being transparent! I prefer to be open about my intentions, even if that makes me a target for those eager to try and bring me down...
