The pedestal syndrome is not limited to men.
Women do it too.

The common feeling is expressed by Groucho Marx:
"I would never want to belong to a club that would have someone
like me for a member."

Unfortunately, that attitude is pretty self-defeating, and the only
hope is to strike a nice balance between a healthy appreciation
of your good qualities, which you can bring to the relationship
and which your SO may not necessarily have, and a humble sense of
where you need to improve (where your SO might help you).
