My father was average but my mother was indeed beautiful. I know this to be true, from an objective stand point. She had beautiful bone structure, always meticulously dressed, was model thin, and rather tall for her Era (5'7.5) She did modeling in New York and was also a part time actress. Yet, she never felt beautiful, or pretty enough. Even as she entered middle age she was attractive. She got hit on by lots of men. But she felt plain . She would stand in front of the mirror and beat her hair brush on the table and scream about how hideous she looked. I wonder if people under estimate their beauty? Or maybe this is just something women do. I am a man , and I can very well know I am hopelessly average. I suppose I didn't inherit my mom's or good looks. My Great-Grandfather was the most handsome man in Richmond. Not me. Average people seem to know they're average, but do beautiful people know they're beautiful?
