Would you agree that men tend to underrate their physical appearance?

[Extraterrestrial1999]

Yeah

Nah

I think men and women are equally likely to underrate themselves. My wife never considered herself particularly attractive, but looking at photos of her as a teen and young adult, I see a very attractive young woman.

Men are not desired for what they are, they're desired for what they give. If a guy is really attractive he probably gives unattractive women confidence when he talks to them. But this does work in a man's case. Because a woman does not compliment a man. A woman is very careful not to give a man anything he has not earned in her mind. So yes it probably would stand to reason that men underrated their attractiveness. But as I said, that's not what men are desired for.

No a lot of men think they are more attractive than what they really are lol I have rarely ever heard a man rate himself under 5/10

No, most men are over-confident about how they look.

[AI Opinion]

It's an interesting perspective. Many men might not emphasize or openly discuss their appearance as much as women, leading it to seem like they underrate themselves. Societal expectations often shape this behavior, focusing more on other attributes for men. However, individual experiences can vary a lot, and some men might indeed place great importance on their looks. It's all about personal perception and societal influences. 😊

I guess it could go both ways... and for women as well

I've seen it often enough

[ManOnFire]

Yes. We are taught to, while we are taught to praise women's beauty and oversexualize them.

[Ms_Facesitter]

I can see that, they don't get compliment showered.

[LiamJHayden]

Just like with women some do while others absurdly overestimate theirs.

[jard82521]

a lot of the time they either underrate themselves or severely overrate themselves

[Little_Bumblebee]

I have seen it go both ways.
