   Best Answer – Chosen by Voters Why does the bald, fat guy think he has a right to say "No fat chicks" when someone is trying to set him up? Most guys think they look like George Clooney or Brad Pitt, and that their friends wives are fighting over them. It's ridiculous! Regis Philbin thinks he's hot stuff. That old rich guy who got mixed up with Anna Nicole Smith thought he was hot, too. Works both ways.

   I don't think self esteem is related to looks. I think a persons self esteem has alot to do with how they were raised. If they were raised by parents who built them up and made them feel competent a person will have good self esteem. If a person was raised by parents who made them feel inadequate or nothing special, they will likely think of themselves as such.

   Pssht…I may be the only woman on here that will tell the truth: I'm old, fat,wrinkled and saggy. I am better looking than pictures imply because I am NOT photogenic. But I am secure in the love from my mate, I don't give a rat's azz what others think, and I wear what I want, do what I want, and say what I want. This has sifted out all the losers in my life long ago, so nobody in my life is there unless they really love me.Why would anyone live any other way?

   American women have an sense of entitlement that stinks to high heaven. As men its ok for them to make fun of us, but god forbid a man questions a woman. Then you automatically hate women. As a men get older we have more of what women want, as women get older they have less of what men want. Men age like wine, women age like milk.

   It's the same as men…you have alot of men that are bald and overweight but see themselves as Mr. Universe but then you have the ones that are gorgeous but don't know it (sometimes). I think that everyone should think of themselves highly, because if you don't then no one else will.

   Hmm perhaps you miss the point Shauna G. Men like natural women who "accept" themselves warts and all not "love" themselves in that horrid american pop culture way that has infected people these days. Self acceptance is better than self love.

   Maybe we think we're sexier than we actually are because you men's standards are impossibly high.

   I'm sure you could ask a man the same question. Everyone has an idealized view of themselves in some way or another.

    Then again, what exactly is YOUR perception of beauty? I mean, be real. Would you rather date/ marry a woman who believed that she is beautiful with all of her flaws or a woman who actually believes shes has NONE and is Ms. Universe? i think that beauty can be seen in any person, but not on looks alone. Personality + attitude is 90% of what makes or breaks a person's beauty to me. I don't care if you are the top super model in the world, if you THINK you are God's gift to the world just because of fake physical beauty, you're just not attractive to me. If you have flaws, and you can point them out and still feel beautiful, having a nice personality, (i prefer humor) and a great outlook on life, good attitude, then your beauty surpasses everyone else. Men DO set impossibly high standards for women. First, you want stick figures with poofy lips, then you want the younger the better, THEN you want sunbathed Goddesses, then you want huge boobs, huge round butt. Everyone has different preferences, but we just pick a man based on how we FEEL when we're around him.. men dont. they want the youngest with the best skin, best looking and most shapely butt and boobs. Its not fair to us. So, when we actually think we're beautiful, because we don't reach YOUR standards, we are considered conceited. Why is that? Good question, but you may want to look into it a bit more, well, into yourself. What YOU find attractive isnt what everyone else does. High self esteem is a great sign, its love for yourself and self worth. Dont drag down women because you're a complicated theologian that probably spends more time observing and researching women rather than being with one who, and this is rare, actually LOVES her own appearance. Source(s): And as an example to everyone, men like THIS are the reason that women are not comfortable with their own bodies, and can't accept their age gracefully. Women can't even tell each other that they are beautiful because we're always competing. Just STOP! YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, LADIES!
