Guys, Why do most guys think they're ugly?

WOMEN rate 80% of men as "below average" in looks - despite the mathematical impossibility of that being true. Men don't have any reason to care what other men think about their looks, but they care what women think, and the vast majority of men know full well that most women think they are ugly. Of COURSE you have the top 5-10% of men whose looks girls go crazy for, but that's a very small percentage. The vast majority of men are treated by virtually all women as if they are invisible, at least when they aren't performing some kind of service for them, and then only for the briefest moments when they have to interact.

An example of how skewed women's perception of men's looks are.

Most women assume that ALL men are like the top 5-10% of men (the only ones most women willingly deal with), because all the men THEY CHOOSE have those attributes. They think that normal guys are exactly the same except more ugly and poor. When virtually every woman in your age range treats you as if you don't exist, everywhere you go, you don't need to be told you're ugly - though there's a group of women happy to remind you whenever they get a chance. Given this, it shouldn't be hard to understand why most men believe they are ugly.

Your average guy hasn't had a compliment on his looks/appearance in YEARS, except perhaps from his mother. Most guys, were they to receive a compliment (and assuming they believed it was genuine, which most probably wouldn't), would likely be stunned and wouldn't know what to say or do, because it's such an unfamiliar experience.

Most guys, if they receive a compliment at all, is only given for something they've DONE - some work they've completed well or some problem they've solved - but virtually never for their looks, their personality, their sacrifices, or their morals and values. That just doesn't happen to most men.

Of course, men fortunate enough to be in that top 5-10% of men in looks WILL receive all of these compliments and more, all the time. Such men live a completely different experience than the rest of men - but ironically, this means they're FAR more likely to treat women badly, because they have an endless supply of women who want to be with them, no matter what they've done.

Women recieve compliments, guys don't. Even if it's insincere for a women, women still get them. So even if a guy only wants to sleep with you, you know he at least wants that. Guys don't get even that.

And on the flipside guys compete with other guys. So you have other guys constantly putting you down. It's not personal. It's just how guys establish pecking order. But when you're an adolescent it's hard not to take it personal.

So basically you're told you're loved by your family and that's it. And if you don't have a loving family you're just s*** out of luck.

Does that about sum it up?😆

Handsome guys always get compliments

[Opinion Owner]

You said "guys" not handsome guys. And you just think they recieve compliments. Just like women think they hit on guys.😆

Most guys aren't complemented much on there looks. Men also don't have fashion or beauty pagents (at least to my knowledge). So most guys would likely assume their below average because they don't have much to prove other wise I suppose.

[Asker]

There's mens fashion and beauty pageants

[RingOfFire]

Maybe it's because most guys aren't gay so they can't see what women see in them. It's hard for a man to understand why a woman would be attracted to them since they are not attracted to men themselves.

[Asker]

That doesn't make any sense. He can just look in the mirror

[RingOfFire]

But that's the point. He looks in the mirror and tells himself "I'm not attracted to that guy so how good looking could he be?" Women are naturally attracted to men. So they can see the attraction to men but men can't necessarily understand it because they look at other men and are not attracted to ANY of them.

[RingOfFire]

I can understand it because women have always seemed to be attracted to me my whole life. But I look at myself and can't really understand it. I am confident in my looks because I know women find them attractive. But I can't really understand why. It just is what it is. So lots of guys may think they are ugly when they are not.

[Asker]

Again u don't make sense. A man can look in the mirror and see he's attractive.

[RingOfFire]

Whatever you say.

[Asker]

Handsome guys know they're handsome

[RingOfFire]

They know women find them attractive. They don't necessarily understand why.

[Asker]

Bro they know why.

[RingOfFire]

You seem pretty sure of yourself for someone who asked a question because they didn't know the answer. Now I gave you the answer and you want to argue about it. No wonder you don't understand. A closed mind never learns anything.

[Asker]

Dude it's not my failure an ugly guy

[RavVid]

For girls being beautiful is important other wise they wouldn't spend so much money on it. It mostly isn't important for guys and at most we try to look neat.

[Asker]

That literally didn't answer my question.

[RavVid]

We'll settle for being ugly as a consequence of not being committed to looking good as girls are.

[Joshydavid25]

That's because most guys don't get a whole lot of compliments.. If any at all for years on end.. Not to mention online dating destroys the average man's self esteem if he doesn't know how to navigate it.

[DarkWinterNights]

Because most have probably never received validation to the contrary.

[FunkyMonkee]

Probably because most girls want nothing to do with them.

[Jmmmfi4]

WELL CONSIDERING GIRLS WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH ME ID SAY ITS PRETTY OBVIOUS

[FenixG45]

We often think women are beyond our reach. Self-confidence issue!

[ThrillSeeker01]

If they're not lucky in love

Need a picture to be a Judge

[Asker]

Huh?

[Opinion Owner]

I can't say that need to see you picture.

[Asker]

Why do you need to see my picture?

[Opinion Owner]

So tell Straight to the point how I feel.

[Asker]

About what? My my question was 'why do guys think they are ugly'

[KrakenAttackin]

Because women CONSTANTLY shit on men.

[Anonymous]

Low self esteem.
