he's not worthy

Happy Monday!

In romance, women love men who embrace self-deprecating humor, this article notes. Thankfully, the piece ends with the following disclaimer:

The report, 'Dissing Oneself: The Sexual Attractiveness of Self-Dep-Humour', which will be published next month in the Journal of Evolutionary Psychology, also warns that the technique should not be attempted by those who are already unpopular.

It could make 'low-status individuals' appear 'more pathetic' than they did before.

Word.

Any guy willing to make fun of himself automatically gets high points in my book, but it's a hard thing to do without looking like you're begging for social validation.

And being a position where you have to always validate your significant other's worth can be just plain draining.

Have you ever dated anyone with exceptionally low self-esteem? While building him/her up, did you feel like Mother Teresa, or an underpaid therapist?
