Why do men always think they are better looking than they are…
….and women think they are worse looking than they are?
This question bugs me because I have no logical explanation for it. If you are honest with yourself you will agree. Men have this thing that they believe they are far more desirable than they usually are, and the majority of women feel they are constantly ugly.
This is the sort of clown I’m talking about!
It’s obviously a question of esteem BUT why is it different for men than it is for women – the mission dollar question!
No doubt there is some long winded, high fluted medical explanation all to do with hormones or something, but personally I feel it’s to do with evolution.
My theory is that when we were apes, us men had the share of the ladies if we fought off the other male threats to our tribe. Male apes were therefore the dominant ones and in control. This in turn gave us the pick of the bunch and gave us big egos to go with our sex drive, whilst the females were competing amongst themselves for the dominant male to shag them, making them feel less dominant… Our DNA may have changed BUT have our thought processes and emotions?
Am I completely off the mark?
