Anytime a guys says he’s average looking I already know he’s extraordinarily unattractive.

The bearded ones seem to suffer worse from this. I can't stand a beard, so my dating pool is SUPER limited. A week's worth of growth doesn't bother me and I don't hate a small moustache, but some of these dudes are channeling Santa and I can't. I even hate a well groomed goatee. I guess I need to get used to being single haha

I read the same thing years ago. Men do think they look better than they do. Women do the opposite

is there anything men's egos don't completely derail, obfuscate or lie to them about? jfc this is pathetic.

I'm rational enough to know I'm an uggo and I accept what I am. Men apparently need to live in delusions.

Why do they have all the power again?

“Men who rated themselves as more attractive were more likely to rate others (both women and men) as more attractive. Women, on the other hand, showed no such difference.”

I see this in incel threads where good-looking, secure men will trot in all cavalier and be like, “just lift and take a shower, bro!” like that’ll just fix everything. The experience of being unattractive is totally alien to men who’ve always enjoyed the privileges of good looks, and it really irritates these less facially and height fortunate guys. I’m not saying we should dwell on what we can’t change, instead of changing what we can. It’s good to offer tips that are actually helpful. But it’s like the good-looking ones are willfully ignorant of having won the genetic lottery and won’t acknowledge the uphill battle less attractive men face at all, and even with improvements, some guys (and women) are not going to have things come as easily to them.

At least (generally) women will be empathetic to that reality and acknowledge it, before offering self-improvement advice.

This is exactly why I tell ya'll to lie about your sexual past. By the time you lay your eyes on him in person, he's already lied to you dozens of times.

:/
