Philosophical question: Why do girls so dramatically overestimate their looks?

Because there's a 1000 thirsty betas telling them how hot they are

Because lots of guys give them attention. If a lot of girls gave you attention your whole life would you assume you're attractive?

8's are in millionaires yacht's, 9's are models and 10's don't exist.

But yeah it's mostly because social media

Social medias, I had girl friends who were 5 and 6 and they showed me their snapchat, instagram and tinder and it's bombarded by lot of betas showing them all kind of validations.. Likes and compliments, they don't have the balls to go approach like we do in real life, so their only chance is to hit them up in social medias.

There was a pretty ugly chick at my last job- and i dont exaggerate when i say this, i'm actually more lenient on looks than most guys here- anyway we were talking once and she got a text, didnt bother reading it since it was from "some guy". I was shocked when i teased her about it being her boyfriend and she showed me how many texts she had from different guys. If a girl that ugly had guys hounding her and commenting on her pics then i can see how girls over estimate themselves, there are just too many guys who will do whatever these girls want and basically worship them.

5s and 6s definitely probably have it the best nowadays since they are "average". And droves of thirsty men climb over each other for them because they appear "approachable" and "down to earth". This is because they don't appear as intimidating as the hotter women. I used to fall for that trap in my younger years until I started to realize that these types are probably the most oversexed. And we are talking about 5s and 6s....

I'll never forget a girl at my last job...she was about 5'2, morbidly obese, very unattractive face (like a mix between Popeye and Chris Farley no joke), really thin hair on a big bulbous forehead, shitty tattoos on her very fat arms and she was not very intelligent and always started shit. The poor girl literally had no redeeming qualities. But guess what, she was on the dating apps and she had a steady supply of dick. Many of which were in good shape/ decent looking. I saw many of these dudes myself. Sure, they usually didn't last. But she always felt like a beauty queen because there was no shortage of dick coming her way. So it goes to show you...

Depends on what time of the day it is. Other times she'll drastically underestimate, mainly when she's not getting attention from thirsty simps. Then she feels like a person-shaped black hole.

Because: black-and-white, all-or-nothing thinking. Women like the emotional rollercoaster.

There are thirsty guys who still hit on them no matter how unattractive they are, so wouldn't you also have an overestimation of your attractiveness if you get so much validation?

If you could sleep with 8's at the click of your fingers, you would think you were an 8, maybe even a 9 or a 10.
