i feel like guys aren't just 'not picky' but most of them also suffer self esteem issues, which they try to cover with aggressiveness and wealth. lucky for them, that's the alpha picture and a lot of girls are into that.
Eh. I think the aggressiveness and wealth (and add cocky and overconfident) are more about projecting some bs persona or some misguided view of what "men" or "masculine" are supposed to look like as opposed to covering for self esteem issues.
That said, I'm confused as to what I think about whether one has more/less self esteem than the other. My perception is that women appear far more confident when they date than men do but anecdotally I hear the opposite.
So, make me pick? No, I don't think one is lower than the other. I think if we could somehow measure this we'd find an average in that they're similar.

I'm not into generalizations at all but...
which gender is usually the one that has to dress up, do all the do's, get the accessories, the right outfit and more and what not...
otherwise, they won't even go down the stairs unless absolutely everything is on point... and even then, they're still going to ask their SO " how do I look " and if such answer is not the one exact that they do expect... all of their night is ruined way before it even started, lol...
Low self esteem has little to do with gender and more to do with successes, failures, rejections and so forth.
Someone who is often successful, ends up having better self esteem.
Imaging being a man though and everyone you ask out is a no, but imagine being a guy and you get a lot of yes answers.
Which one will have higher self esteem?
Women are the same way.
I'm general I would say no, women tend to have more self esteem issues.

No I'd say it's the opposite. Considering the amount of rejection men have to deal with I'd say they're quite resilient. I think you're confusing thier self esteem issues with them simply not putting much stock in any woman. Because a woman knows if she flirts with a guy there's a likely chance she's going to get him. Guys conversely know at BEST they have a 10% chance. That's why guys are pretty indiscriminate with women. Because it's a numbers game for men to be successful.
Nah, we are waaaay more resilient on average. We go out without the help of makeup and we handle the brunt of rejections at every front.
Men have very low chances of getting dates without being proactive while women don't have to stick their necks out.
It is almost impossible to find a woman that's not so entitled. These women are so hard to tolerate just for a short period of time much a full blown relationship. Women think they are GOD gifts to man kind and men just can't stand to be around them.
Well recently a woman thought it was easier as a man so she took the time to get the gender swap. at 35 and didn't make it past. 53...
I wouldn’t say self esteem at least in the west more so anxiety over everything being interpreted wrong by woke lunatics who constantly act like social Justice warriors
Guys definitely suffer from insecurities too
More like to many bad relationships made them very causes
I think you’re right
Not in my own personal experience.
It might be even.
I think low self esteem is very common in general
Self esteem isn't gender based.
No I don’t think so
That's probably a good snapshot for many men.
Kinda true i guess.
Absolutely!
