It's like, dude! What are you seeing in the mirror???? I never understand that.
I'm not sure if you've been out in public lately, but, tragically, not ALL women are hard on themselves. At least not 'hard' in a level of commitment to appearance that I would recognize as more effort than my cat put out today.

As for the deeper meaning as regards men, it goes back to hunter/gatherer; if we don't have enough gumption to go out and spread our seed or hunt or gather, we die off. That is a biological, DNA level motivation to say "Hey baby, what's yer sign?" no matter how hideous we actually are. Survival of the "I am it" ist.
