LAST EDITED ON 01-23-07 AT 09:21 AM (EST)In general I've noticed that men usually think they look better and are in much better shape than they really are. Woman tend think they look worse and are in worse shape than they really are.
There are some exceptions but I've heard way too many men with flab, etc. who will tell everyone they look like Adonis and too many woman who are in great shape and look pretty good complain about how ugly and flabby they are.
So some of this is standard US cultural norms.
Add to that DT's usual hyperbole about himself and I don't think you can take anything he says about himself as an accurate reflection of the truth.
I am pretty sure DT actually believe he is that good looking and in great shape. I also am pretty sure that most people do not agree with him, but that few would disagree with those sorts of statements to his face.
ETA: Personally I don't think he is all that good looking. I'd put him in my average range, and I think he could look better than he does. His hair style may be a "trademark" sort of thing, but I think it makes him look worse than he might be able to look.
It's a tribe creation!
Eww! Ick! Ack! DT's a blowhard, self-important and an egomaniac. IF he was remotely humble and self-deprecating, then his sweet personality might make up for his less than distiguished looks. No, he's NOT sexy. I think for some of the women who are attracted to him, it's the power/money thing and the fact that he's not completely hideous. On a side note, I don't think his son is the least bit attractive (he reminds me of a "spoiled kid" character from a bad movie--the kind who pushes the help around and threatens to tell Daddy on them) but Ivanka is HOT. She could tempt me to switch teams...
