Do you think generally that women tend to overvalue themselves whereas men tend to undervalue themselves?

Question

It’s strange but in a way I think that women have stronger emotional support bets than men and so their value is higher because of that support. They don’t overvalue themselves they just have a different view on things and don’t know that men often have to do more with less support. Sure society tends to support men by giving them opportunity but opportunity without valuing yourself is not going to lead to success. So men without the same support structure have a different understanding of their value than women.

society in general tends to overvalue women and undervalue men. men are only important if they have value and sometimes that value as objectively important as it is sometimes isn't seen as subjectively important

women tend to favor white-collar jobs and men tend to favor blue-collar jobs. blue-collar jobs e. g. construction worker are actually more valuable to society than white-collar jobs e. g. lawyer.

No. I think thats the drama that sells on youtube and television but if you asked most people from your/your kids school, local church, local library etc people would have a pretty average worth according to themselves. There will be a few men and women who think they are worth a lot more than they are and a few men and women who think they are worth much less than what they really are. It mostly depends what type of people you are askin.

I don't think so. I think most women who seemingly overvalue themselves are doing it to cope and overcompensate for their insecurities. That's why you will have land whales out here acting as if they can steal everyones man. They are trying to convince themselves more than anybody.

Sonorous · Answer

Yes. We men are only as good as we can do. And if we can't, then we are seen of no value. Generally.

Apple1996 · Answer

Nah I see the opposite. Men always think they are hot shit when they aren't. And women are extremely insecure about literally everything..

HighValue · Answer

Yes. Many women significantly overrate their value in physical appearance, as a good fair partner, and at being capable at caring for/raising kids.

A lot of that comes from men lying to women and overrating them in hopes of having sex. It is often the low quality desperate men that overrate women, and then women are confused why other good quality men don't think so highly of them because they are used to the constant lies and start believing them.

It just seems that way. Women are told from puberty that most of thier value lies in thier attractiveness. Which of course isn't true but it's a myth that is perpetuated by society so it becomes normalized. Sort of an unwritten belief that sits right below the surface. As a result many women spend thier life trying to keep and maintain thier physical attractiveness. This colors thier world. They need a man who reflects thier value. If they pick an unattractive man then what does that say about her?

EpicSnail · Answer

Good question. I think it's hard to generalize. On one hand I feel like men tend to be more self-destructive than women, which I would interpret as self-loathing or perhaps just a default of putting others before yourself (e. g. men who sacrifice themselves in war). On the other hand, AFAIK, women tend to score higher on depression and anxiety tests.

I don't know since I can only speak for myself. I probably find a different value in myself than someone else would.

Rei13 · Answer

I think over/under value-ing oneself generally comes from a place of insecurity for both men and women. I’ve seen it go the opposite way a lot too where the guy over values himself by a lot and a great girl cuts herself short

sunflower00 · Answer

I’ve really mostly seen this happen the other way round tbh

StormChaser838 · Answer

No it depends on the individual and the moment, more the moment in time

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

Not sure. I don't consider myself that high though, if that counts for anything.

Rizzlekicked · Answer

I would think the opposite. Studies have been. Shown where men ranked themselves 5 and above, with women ranking themselves predominantly lower than that of the males

Chthou95 · Answer

Yes this is true. Women get bombarded with attention from simps and the ego goes through the roof. But for men because they get little to no attention, men are more humble about themselves and know where they stand

sassymoon · Answer

Especially in America rn yes but with standards comes a big break either guys will have to pick it up grow and provide , or just fold and go elsewhere in the countries

AdithyaR · Answer

From personal experience i see the opposite. Women generally seem to be more humble while dudes have inflated egos

Anonymous · Answer

Yes, because most women today value themselves based on the same things on which they value men. But men don't want a man. Most women today have no idea what men want in a woman.

LiamJHayden · Answer

I think most people are delusional about themselves.

PinkMichae · Answer

No. I think women tend to be more insecure about themselves than men.

Anonymous · Answer

Absolutely not. Men overwstimate their attractiveness to a ridiculous level. There’s even been studies that say men overestimate themselves more than women.

JustBeingReal727 · Answer

Western standards "most" but not all undervalue men.

whorable · Answer

i’ve seen it the other way around tbh

FilmGuy93 · Answer

It seems to be the opposite. Women are hella insecure while men over compensate

hiyamotherfers · Answer

Nah bro some people say i'm worth more but I think I'm not

Anonymous · Answer

Considering the vast majority of women want the top 5% of men, and that a woman who is a 5 or less will see her self as a 10.. Women all the way.

Slim57 · Answer

It's really odd, a lot of women overvalue themselves online but most women overall are insecure so I'm not sure what they're thinking
