How long does it take for a narcissist to show his narcissistic side to an unsuspecting 2nd wife?

Sometimes years.
After a break-up, the abuser sometimes becomes quickly involved with a new partner whom he treats relatively well. Abusers are not out of control, and therefore can be on "good" behavior for extended periods of time - even a year or two - if they consider it in their best interest to do so. The new partner may insist, based on her experience with him, that the man is wonderful to her, and that any problems reported from the previous relationship must have been fabricated, or must result from bad relationship dynamics for which the two parents are mutually responsible. The abuser can thus use his new partner to create the impression that he is not a risk. - Lundy Bancroft

Why do narcissist men not show intimacy to there mate only with material things?
Because they are narcissistic.
If u are a megalomaniac are you a narcissist?
While megalomania and narcissism share some overlapping traits, they are not the same. Megalomania typically involves delusions of grandeur and an obsession with power, while narcissism is characterized by a focus on oneself and a need for admiration. Both can coexist in a person, but they are distinct psychological phenomena.
Is it possible to show a narcissist up publicly?
It is possible to show up a narcissist publicly, but if you do, the narcissist is going to be very angry at you. It is not always a wise strategy to make enemies.
Can a narcissist show appreciation?
A narcissist cannot show appreciation. A narcissist is a person who looks at themselves as higher than others, or believing they can do any task better than others, so for a narcissist to show appreciation would be very odd.
Is it common to run into a Narcissistic ex-partner and have them show no reaction to you at all?
I wouldn't doubt that it is common. At least for them to show a REDUCED REACTION to you. It seems too easy for them to just wipe out from their memory whatever wondrous experiences you and they shared together or at least not to be focused on them enough for the N to care about you the way they once seemed to. Is it common to run into a Narcissistic ex-partner and have them show no reaction to you at all? Yes. If the narcissist dated you for attention and felt like you were inferior to him in the relationship, it's likely you won't get a reaction from him. Especially if the narcissist has enough attention from other, more superior people at the time you meet him. Also, it is more likely he will show no reaction if he dumped you. Superior has nothing to do with whether a narcissist shows reaction to you or not. The issue is that you never existed for him/her except as a source of narcissistic supply--when that supply is gone, you no longer exist for him/her again. It's true that if he's getting supply elsewhere that may make him feel good, but it has nothing to do with your "quality" as a person. Because to him/her, you were not a person at all. You're saying "show no reaction" but what do you expect them to do? Imagine if you treated someone as badly as a narcissist does. You can't or won't apologize. You can't smile and wave hello. So the "best" thing is to do nothing. To show nothing. Trust me, you wedged a knife into them when they saw you. Even it was a knife of guilt or conscience. Even if they didn't show it. If you see them again, you do nothing also. Show no expression except one of happiness. Success is the best revenge. That will bother your ex much more than even hating them.
What is a narcisstic?

What do you do if you have reached an impassse with your narcissistic spouse and they are prolonging the silent treatment toward you?
Go to counseling. Rejoice! And again I say, rejoice! There is no silence more golden than a narcissist's. To not have to hear that annoying voice! It is truly heaven. Let me tell you how things work with a narcissist. They come from opposite land in Bizarro universe. The only way to get a narcissist to be nice to you is to (paradoxically) treat them terribly by ignoring them entirely. If the narcissist is ignoring you, you must have done something awfully decent and nice to deserve this. Do you see the impossibility of ever successfully dealing with and having a relationship with such a person? I would say, take immediate advantage of the impasse and the resulting silence by leaving the narcissist. No matter what you do, never pay any attention to the narcissist again, and don't talk or call or write unless forced by law to do so. The narcissist will always think of you, in the Bizarro universe way, as a wonderful person and will crave your attention, which you will never give. Thus exacting justice on the narcissist while taking back your life. Too bad you have to be mean to show a narcissist how wonderful you are, but you didn't start this thing. You should be the one to end it, though.
Is Barack Obama a narcissist?
No, not at all. This is a claim often made by political talk show hosts and bloggers who don't like him. He has also been accused of being arrogant, conceited, and narcissistic. None of these claims are true; and in fact, it should be noted that when President Bush was in office, the same claims were made about him by talk show hosts and internet reporters who disliked him. It should be noted that to be a president does require a certain amount of confidence (and the ability to take constant criticism from your political enemies). But please do not confuse angry talk show rhetoric with objective fact. There is no credible evidence that Mr. Obama is a megalomaniac.
Can a narcissist complement someone to others?
With genuine attachment to the words they are saying? No. But a narcissist can 'complement' someone they think of as 'special' or 'high status', (I.e., someone who is 'special' and 'unique' enough to understand 'special' and 'unique' them.) And a narcissist is capable of 'love-bombing' someone who is affiliated with someone who has 'crossed them' in some way such as causing narcissistic injury by pointing out reality to them in an effort to get the third party on their 'side.' Finally, narcissistic parents with multiple children typically have at least one 'golden child,' I.e., the child who they define as 'fine' because they meet the parent's emotional needs without question and without showing any needs of their own...The parent will sometimes lavish praise insincere praise on their 'golden child' to send a message to their other children and that message is this: 'See, I AM capable of being loving, just not to YOU.' Narcissistic parents also sometimes praise their children in public/around an audience. So yes, narcissists can show the behavior of complimenting someone else, but no, none of it is sincere...Like all of their actions it is a manipulation designed to ellicit a response in others, secure a resource for themselves, etc.
How early can a person be diagnosed with narcissism?
NPD cannot be diagnosed with any certainty prior to early adolescence (13-14). Narcissistic traits, a narcissistic style, and even a narcissistic personality can be evident earlier in life, though. Many old school shrinks hesitate to diagnose anyone with anything until they are 18 as that is when the personality is fully developed. Some wait until 21. If some one seems to have a disorder they like to say showing NPD characteristics. I believe that although the personality is not fully developed until 21, that is all the more reason to seek treatment for an adolescent that is showing narcissistic traits (or any disorder)
What brain area is involved in narcissistic personality disorder?
MRI's show that the prefrontal lobe has little activity or color in NPD's.
What does it mean or show when you have caught a narcissist red handed in bed with someone and when you call her to say when can you check on her again and says make time and come?
please specify who "her" refers to. As the question stands "her" could be the narcissist or the other person.
