Guys who think their ugly girlfriends are hot (NSFW)

[miajag]

This pic on CollegeHumor (NSFW) got me thinking about guys who have ugly/mediocre girlfriends but seem to think they are dating the hottest woman on Earth. Why do a lot of guys do this? I mean, there are far worse looking asses out there than the one in the pic, but is that really an ass worthy of bragging that you "just tapped that?" (not to mention the girl's lack of self-respect for letting her boyfriend do that, that's a whole other thread) What is with these guys? I know several guys personally who are dating mediocre-looking chicks but go around talking them up like they're [censored] Jessica Biel.

Do they actually think their ugly girlfriend is hot? (I'm not talking about mere my-opinion-versus-your-opinion ugliness, I mean chicks that no one in their right mind would find attractive)

Are they somehow trying to convince themselves they're dating a hot chick by going around telling everyone how hot their GF is?

Someone, please explain this to me.
