Why do men always have such a big ego to think that a woman is automatically going to be interested in them?

I got so many messages since I joined from guys who without having talked to me pretended like I would immediately be interested in them.

Then they say " you're very pretty but I noticed you're <<insert negative feature>> and I'm very traditional ".
And then they turn you down in that same monologue, as if they were having a conversation with you while you were not there.
I have noticed this quite often.

"You're hot but you live too far" , for example.

That is so weird.

Like , I don't even know you , never saw you.
Why would you think I would be interested in you?
You messaged me and made the assumption that I was going to be interested.
For all I know I could be way out of your league.

Why are men always so self-confident that even very unattractive men are so self-confident that they have the guts to message women who may not even be interested in them and who may be way out of their league?

That is not meant in a mean way but I notice that even attractive women will always doubt ourselves and always feel like we're never enough , whereas men , even the ones who should lower their standards, are always so confident in themselves.

It's almost ironic.

Is this something in the male brain structure , that guys are self-confident enough to go for women who are looks-wise much higher on the ladder than them, while women will always feel self-conscious , even when she's very attractive?

Is it something evolutionary?

Really trying to understand this.
I honestly would read a Ph.D study about this :D

Would love some healthy debate :-)
Healthy but polite.

It's wishful thinking. They also likely don't understand woman.

@Spoiledbrat But what is the rationale behind the monologue then?
Is it something that provides them with a thrill?
The monologue is not something I really understand.
Like , why wouldn't they want a dialogue with the woman?
They're only interested in one thing. @BreakfastGirl

@Spoiledbrat Yeah I know but why would a man first describe his attraction to a woman and then break that woman down looks-wise? Like telling her things to make herself feel bad about herself?
Is it to exert power over someone?
Are there men who are more interested in having power over someone than true attraction to that person?
Maybe woman have turned then down in the past and they hold a grudge or maybe someone treated them badly or they think you're spoiled and resent it. Maybe they resent woman having the power to say yes or no. @BreakfastGirl
On here people like to fuck around with others' head. If that's what it is, I'd ignore it. @BreakfastGirl

@Spoiledbrat Those answers make a lot of sense!
Love the thoughtful brainstorm and with how much serenity and integrity this topic is treated.
That's how healthy debates are held :-)

@Spoiledbrat I think that men's brains are so fundamentally different to women's they are never likely to understand women and vice versa.
