“It's the kind of thing where, like, you don't want to say, oh, I'm attractive because then you sound like an asshole, but you don't want to say, oh, I don't feel pretty because then you sound like you're insecure and you can't, you know, manage your own confidence and how unattractive it is to have a lack of confidence.”
