A man lusted after a girl, but was too shy to approach her, fearing the pain of gettting rejected because her dates were always better looking, and of wealth greater than his own.

One day, he found out her date was not good looking, and earning no income.

Seeing this, certain to triumph at last, he pounced on her, only to be rejected.

Shocked by this grave injustice, the man asks: "You no longer have the looks to
attract a better than me, am I not a greater man for you?"

She says: "Don't try to be a great man, just be a man. A man would never raise
his confidence whenever he mistakenly sees less confidence in somebody else.
Only fools underestimate others to overestimate oneself."
