In what world does this idiot think this is not a beautiful woman
oh
he has shitty self-esteem, that's why
He honestly can't believe that he could attract anyone pretty, so he thinks of her as unappealing while at the same time imagining a fantasy girl who's even better, that way he absolves himself of going out and actually meeting anyone
I have to say, at first when it seemed like he didn't care for her despite her obvious affection for him, I didn't quite like him, at all.
But at least by that ending, he became a decent sort and decided to make her happy, like he should have done from the beginning.
I cant even find half the qualities in women here these days
