low-self-esteemish

adj. I'm bad, Jesus. Kind of.

Real citation: "Key concept: The opposite of "friend" is not "jerk." Lots of guys ask me "why women date only jerks" -- or why, when they try to be a jerk, they still don't get laid. Come on, you guys: men date jerks too (male and female). It's not necessarily a gender thing; it's a stupid human trick. It's something we all do when we're feeling all low-self-esteemish, desperate, or undeserving of anyone warmer than the Great Santini. (Also, everybody, check your perspective: are all those "jerks" out there really bad people, or are they just "jerks" 'cause they got your girl?)"

Made-up citation: "Read my new book: Girls are Low-self-esteemish; Boys are Serial-killer-y."
