Isn't the really the story of so many in a nutshell?
From what I can tell, at least unattractive men really take time to work on some other aspect of themselves — they strive to become funny, smart, successful, or any number of things. Even though it's anecdotal, I haven't noticed that being the case so much the other way around. Instead, women point fingers and try to tear others down in order to build themselves up.
It certainly doesn't apply across the board, but it's what I've noticed happens with shocking frequency.
