Why do guys think they're all that, when really, they're not?  Do they not own a mirror?

We guys tend to think in terms of body parts, but women think in terms of overall: the whole person.\n\nBut they do recognize parts: height, broad shoulders, muscularity (if visible), confidence, and butt and penile equipment is in there somewhere.

Sounds like he may be very unconfident in himself, making sure your not sneaking around behind his back, some men are just naturally like that, may not be obbsession could just be jealousy, and hes worried about losing you.

They either think they don't deserve, or can't get better than what they have.\n\nA real person with flaws is much warmer than the imaginary one that treats you right. A lot of people are afraid that if they give up what they have, even though they aren't really happy with it, they won't be able to find anything better, and may end up worse off or alone.

Well you gotta look at it from all angles.  Not ALL men are dogs and not ALL women talk about guys like that.  Some chics have been done worngly by guys and they tend to make the mistake of judging all guys by one guy's actions.  I got screwed over by my husband and I, on a daily basis, try to not let that have an affect on how I view other guys....  It's tough sometimes tho

Dearie a person does not derive self esteem from what other people think, that's why its called SELF esteem.  Love yourself for more than your looks, whether its your sense of humor or kind heart these are the things that really count.  And as cliche as it might sound how will anyone ever love you if you don't love yourself!

Usually their self image is deluded because they don't want to believe they are anything less than perfect.

They're just feeling insecure because standing next to you it would be even more apparent THEY don't work out. Most men wouldn't want a woman who is stronger than them or earns more than them or has a better career. We've got to be very subtle about these things lest we offend their fragile ego!

Not all guys are... Just the ones you know...

I know I am not always that realistic about my self image. I do believe that when we are on our own though, we really do know whether were full of it or good or bad looking etc. If you know deep down that you are a good person (only you really knows) then continue on as usual. Otherwise if you want, try to change a little. I have some friends that we agree to disagree. In other words, we realize there is no compromise but we want to remain friends.

i am not.......well..sometimes yes. like everybody. I don't know whether you are a guy or a girl. I just thought that your last answer was kind of sad...When you stop wishing and dreaming....\nI'm a girl, woman rather......but I define myself more like a soul...I am just a person who wishes to try its best. I have both feminine and masculine qualities as the world view them.\nWhen I look in the mirror I clearly see a girl so do others...but inside I can be ruthless too at times and be called "aggressive and all"..I am a nice person, most people think, but don't like fools......and I know that there are so many much more intelligent and wise people than I am.........\nThat's it for the soul-searching :-) (smile).

BECAUSE MOST GUYS ARE SHALLOW

When you say "they're deceivers", you answer your own question. A lot of guys have been taught by the nature of manhood to "bullshit" people or women in order to get out of awkward situations instead of learning to face them like most women. What Yahoo! Answers is built around is people bullshitting other people in order to please them. That's what us guys do... generally speaking, that is.\n\n\nLove,\nThe Bullshitting Master!

I am a woman just over 50 and would really like to look like I did 30 years ago, but reality is reality, and I know men just don't tend to look at things that way.  But my hubby assures me that he loves me however I look, so maybe it is mostly single men who think that way, I don't know.  I just know that when he was younger, he and his best friend had alot to say about heavier women and that is where my insecurities come from.  Also, I do see single, older men wanting the younger, thin, sexier appearing women.  Maybe it is an ego thing.  Who kknows why guys think the way they do.  But you do have a good point.  Sometimes I think they just don't think.  They want.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. That speaks volumes for what beauty is and who should appreciate it. Most of us are our own worst critic and, by that very fact, see ourselves as a creation that could use more 'sculpturing' (if you catch my drift).\nI wouldn't care too much about the way you look at yourself(if i were you) , but to be happy that one that looks at you enjoys looking at you and gets excited at the sight of your nakedness; and, trust me, he'll like what he sees.

Of course all men are or have been bi curious at one point in their life. Most of them act all macho and cocky to mask it, only making them look more like fools. A huge percentage of men are sexually insecure, thats been proven many times. In a lockerroom, they wont flinch or close their eyes when they see 20+ naked guys around them, or a penis within arms reach, but if a normal setting (road trip for example) if a friend were to get naked (streaking, skinny dipping) the other males would go nuts and close their eyes and turn their heads,etc. Not because they are inimidated by what they see, but they do it to show the other guys that "awwww, thats gross, I dont want to see that"...Putting on a show to reassure to their friends that they are straight.
