+1 men are delusional about their abilities as well.

Women under estimate the intelligence, ability and looks.

Lots of beautiful women think they aren't that pretty; lots of average looking men think they are good looking.

From the article...

[quote]Male hubris, female humility

Despite people’s overall tendency to overestimate their own intelligence, individuals vary. Some doubt their intellectual ability while others greatly overestimate their talents. In general, though, when asked to estimate their IQ, men think they’re significantly brighter than they are, while women’s estimates are far more modest.

Our findings are consistent with those of other studies. Psychologist Adrian Furnham has termed this effect [b]the male hubris, female humility[/b] problem. It’s true of many cultures. [/quote][/quote]
