Quizplus · Accepted Answer

People with low self-esteem often feel inadequate and imperfect themselves, so they may seek out partners who appear flawless or "perfect" in some way as a way to compensate for their own perceived shortcomings. They may also feel more comfortable with someone they perceive as being "above" them in some way, as it reinforces their negative self-image.
