Your brother is probably like me.. extremely picky... ;)

 

I think guys are like that in general.

 

Their standards are way high. Many would probably think that Paris Hilton is ugly and they wouldn't date her either.

 

Even if they look like crap.

she's got that freaky lazy eye thing going on.. I can see why guys think she's hot. She's ditzy, blonde, slender and willing.

I've had a couple of exes tell me they were afraid I was out of their league.

You are probably just high maintenance. Either that, or you hunt for "fixer uppers."

Paris Hilton is good looking, albeit not beautiful. Her lifestyle and attitude are what destroys her looks.

High maintenance, nah. Fixer uppers, well... maybe. Or perhaps fixer uppers are the ones that hunt me since I don't chase men.

Hey, hey, dating doesn't equal a lack of celibacy, although it might! ;)

I think more often men will overrate and women will underrate.

 

I think men will often not know who's in their "league" so to speak and women assess it a bit more realistically.

 

Thinking about this point I actually think it's the other way around.

 

Most women will look at their faults and complain about themselves BUT when it comes to choosing men then suddenly they have a high opinion of themselves.

 

Most men will ACT alpha (which comes across as being cocky etc) but deep down they try to please the women because women are the choosers usually.

 

So men ACT like they're in a higher league and women behave like they're in a higher league.

Do you think people really know how to really assess themselves?

 

That is, there is a tendency to either over-evaluate or under-evaluate but not quite really know where one stands? Like people who say they are 9s are maybe 7.5 lol or vice versa

 

Whenever your main export is yourself people have a tendency to market themselves accordingly. On a somewhat related note I am reminded by various MTV programming that not only exhibits this increasingly common trait but shoves it in your face. Myspace is a haven for those with an inflated sense of self worth (not all of it...but look around you know what I mean) where the image portrayed is merely the grand illusion of greatness or as you so simply put it "9s"

I don't really rate people... I was taught not to that shallow...:laugh:

 

I always think i'm pretty average, I don't understand what ppl see in me... I shy away from ppl coming on to me... but then I'm shy in general.

Well, I do see a string of people on dating sites that seem to put, "People say I look young for my age" and seem to focus on that aspect of their characteristics, which comes off as kind of vein.

Well maybe I shouldn't have said rank

 

But I have heard people saying how their SOs were so hot and good looking (as if to indirectly validate their own "good looks"), but in a lot of these cases I'm not buying it.

 

Or they'll say, "I'm OK looking, but guys are always hitting on me" (throwing in that bit of self deprecation to hide how they really feel lol)

 

It just seems that a lot of people think they're good looking.....but it can't be that everyone walking around is so good looking....although I agree good looking is in the eye of the beholder

You might be confusing two different things, in that yes, a superficial assessment might cause you to believe they're not as "good looking" as portrayed by their SO. On the otherhand, most people don't fall in love for solely the superficial. The person's SO might be the most beautiful individual to them, inside and out.
