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.

MK and I were in Ross a couple weekends ago and there was a girl in her early 20s with a belly shirt on and a whole lot of belly hanging out of it. The little girl in line behind her commented on it.

I still attest that one both sides of the fence it's more a matter of "fake it till you make it" than real self esteem.
