I only disagree for the fact that I find it very sad that men feel they have to "convince" women they're beautiful. Every woman is beautiful and should know that themselves. For a man to compliment them and make them feel beautiful is one thing, but for them to have to "convince" them. :/ *sigh*

If they don't know it, convincing them would teach them, it would seem...

its because most girls like myself have a very low self esteem because were not that "perfect size 2" kind of girl. the media has ruined us and our self esteem

It depends on the kind of girl, some worship themselves and others have low self esteem

Sorry, that media crap is bull sh**. I'm so sick of girls saying the media has ruined my self image, or magazines have got me so low. SHUT UP. If you guys rely on those things to build your self esteem and self worth, yes, you're going to definitely have low self esteem. You think the "size 2" girls are perfectly happy? it's a never ending cycle! You need to find it within yourself to be happy with yourself because if you can't love yourself first, you'll never be able to fully love someone else.

exactly, you think you would be happy to be a size 2 (or whatever it is for you) but when you get there, it doesnt make you love yourself. you have to be happy with who you are on the inside, and it will show on the outside. confidence shows and makes you more attractive.

Well it's funny you should mention that. I was a size 5 before I got pregnant. I'll be honest with you I'm a size 12 now. WHAT!?! You almost tripled your pant size?? Yep, and guess what? I'm still happy. I know what I have to do to get to a size where I'm healthy and can be active. I'm taking action for what I need to do to be able to get in shape again. Not for my own happiness, but for my family's well being. It's more important to me that I am healthy enough to keep up with my insanely active 10 month old and to be able to go running with my husband or *other things, than it is for me to fit into my skinny jeans again.. I'm happy at whatever size or shape I may become. It's all apart of life; It's part of growing up. You're going to have to realize that it's not about what people think about you, but what you feel about yourself. Don't depend on other people for your own happiness.

i dont depend on other people for my happiness, i never said that. but, good for you for wanting to be in good shape to be there for your family and not just trying to lose weight to be "hot" or whatever. you sound like the rare person who is happy and doesnt rely on their jean size to make them happy.

That's what I'm saying though, people ARE beautiful. No matter their shape, size, color, religion, sex etc. they are beautiful in the fact that they're unique and different from each other. If you put every single person in one place and looked at everyone as a group, how beautiful would that be? To see everyone for their own unique qualities and characteristics, all their quirks and flaws? To me, that is the most beautiful thing about people. No two people are alike and yet all these women are aiming for one image that is "the perfect image" and could you imagine if everyone tried to fit one image? We would look SO silly! People just need to find their own look and what's beautiful FOR THEM. Maybe someday that will happen...

You are blowing this way out of proportion.

I don't think that was the point. Almost every girl I know has very low self esteem, none of whom give a crap about how the people in the media look. It comes from different things. I'm very happy that you understand what beauty is, but most of these girls know what that is too, just can't judge fairly when they apply it to themselves. It's not their fault that they have low self esteem, believe me, we try hard to get over it, but it feels almost impossible to like ourselves for many of us.

Well, I guess all I can say is true confidence comes from yourself. Men can help you realize that; they can never give you confidence.

Ok lets see here, you have a girlfriend, she is very beautiful/hot, she asks you if she is beautiful/hot and gets naked in front of you *Jizz in your pants* and there you go there is the proof for her.

me being a girl, i would know that if a man tells us we're beautiful, we "don't buy it" but really we do and we feel freaking amazing but we want to sound humble by saying we dont... well at least in most cases!

We all look at ourselves different and what we have done in our life makes us feel if we are insecure. When I was little I had hairy arms and my brother made a nickname for it I am self concious of that and I have bushyish eyebrow also I have muscle not fat but seeing the weight muscle gives me makes me self concious and I actually am a beautiful person on the outside I am told I believe and I don't at the same time what I think is us girls just like to bash ourselves once we have the thought in our minds

It's hard to believe it when men call you beautiful because they're most likely cheating on you, and calling twenty other woman beautiful too.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

that's ridiculous! Just because you had a bad experience once it doesn't mean all men are unfaithful. Most men I know are more faithful than the girls I know (and most of my girlfriends -me included, here- know they cant be with one guy, so they just don't date anymore)

I'm a girl and I just fucking accept a compliment! Why would I just assume they're lying to me? If they didn't think i'm beautiful they wouldn't be dating me! (yeah, I mean what they consider to be beautiful)
