I have thought on this a lot, and I think a large part of that is standards. It's not, "I think I'm fat", it's, "I think I'm too fat for someone like her." Not "bad skin", but, "she wouldn't like my skin." Eventually I think you forget about trying to meet the standards of someone else and become happy with yourself. Personally I define myself as average in every way, looks wise. I'm more worried about a girl being okay with my weird personality quirks, actually. On that note, and this may just be personal experience, but the adage "opposites attract" seems like something that's actually true a lot of the time.I think that almost (?) all women -- and no doubt men but this post happens to be about women -- sell themselves short.
