Even really hot women, that know they're hot, still constantly need reassurances and attention.
So do men.
I don't know how many guys I have heard get all bent out of shape because their girl was not paying enough attention to THEM while at a bar or club. "Were you flirting with him?"... "Do you know him from somewhere?"... blah blah blah. The main difference is that women usually have the confidence to come out and SAY IT openly and honestly to a man, wheras men typically just try to hold it in, to "act macho", and they just stew in it. Usually men adopt a "bad mood", in hopes the girl will notice and say oooooh, poor baby, I admit it, I was bad at the party and I was wrong, and now you are in a bad mood and I miss my baby, oooooh. Or, sometimes men just hold it in until some other event happens, usually something rather immaterial and minor, and use that event as an excuse to completely blow up at the woman and give her a good chewing out to let out all the pent-up bruising from the insecurity.
Women are no less insecure than men are. I think that men are MORE insecure, but they are too insecure to express their insecurities, because it isn't "macho" to do so.
