Posters debate whether Jerry's character actually hates himself, with one arguing he has too much self-esteem and another suggesting he likes himself but wouldn't enjoy being around himself.
I don't buy it. If anything, Jerry suffers from TOO MUCH self-esteem. Remember how his mom keeps telling him "How could anybody not like you?" And remember his smug pose next to the bust in Babu's cafe? (By the way, isn't Janeane Garofalo looking sexy these days. She's always been cute, but this is the most striking transformation of a female celebrity since Jodie Foster glammed herself up in the late '80's.)
Cheers,

It's probably a case of "he can dish it out but he can't take it." He wants to be #1. He likes _himself_ but would not like to be subject to himself. Just a thought. I don't think there's any question that he likes himself. Could just be the writers just threw that in without thinking about it as much as we do :)
Yes, she is "sexier" in some ways. But I also think she was just as, if not more in some ways, _attractive_ not "glammed." Ditto for Jodie. I'll take em either way <G>
