women please answer my question. why do so many women think they look terrible, when i know they don't?

Question

i've met and seen millions of beautiful women in my 26 years of life. there have been quite a few that i find to be drop dead gorgeous. i've told them to their face that they are. then i get a responce, "no i'm not". they say they are not beautiful. some of them don't like looking at themselves in the mirror. i invented my own pick up line. i tell them i have a picture of the most beautiful woman in the world. i ask them if they want to see it. they say, "sure". so i take out my 3"x5" mirror, and hold it in front of them, and say, "you see her do you? they give the biggest smile, and then turn away saying, "I (they) look ugly" i don't believe them at all. i'd like to know why women think such things like this about themselves.

Answer 1

low self esteem
also
they like to be complimented

Answer 2

Society has too many concepts and ideas of how a woman should be. Look at the women in the magazines, on television or just walking down the street, some of them can pull off the whole movie star look. A lot of us don't have the time and don't even bother. I suppose in a sense its low self esteem. But there's just too much to live up to today as a woman. A lot of people don't think of it in terms of being an individual. A lot of women see themselves as individuals instead of just being female. Honestly, its all over-rated. Why can't we all just be allowed to be whatever we want to be instead of just the stereo-type.

So, i'm affected person and answer as ultimate i will. I in no way as quickly as think of of them as females haters, nor do I decide them as such.

1. Women are generally more modest and less confident than men.
2. They say that out of modesty, not because it's true. They probably giggle while they say "I'm ugly".
3. They don't want anything to do with you (hence they 'turn away'). No offense intended.
4. Women are often not happy with their appearance. It's just a fact of life. It also keeps the beauty and retail industry going.

Answer 5

Maybe it's because they can only see their flaws. A lot of people act like they're qualities are invisible and their flaws are huge. Here's an example: A girl's face has big,beautiful eyes and a nice nose. But her lips are thin. She can't look at her face as a whole, she thinks every part of her has to be perfect to be pretty. It's probably either that or they just want you to tell them how beautiful they are.

Answer 6

first of all i really like the way u show them they're beautiful, its a cool way.

when u say they're beautiful, they don't want u to think they're snobby by saying yes i'm so pretty. and maybe they want u to keep on complimenting them.

some woman don't see how pretty they are because they see themselves everyday in the mirror, they don't realize it. and the ones that don't look in the mirror have a low self esteem issue.

thats what its like with human, others tend to know before themselves. others realize who u are before u realize urself.

maybe its just u who thinks they're gorgeous and they don't think so or have been given bad comments before. but continue what ur doing (it really helps boost self esteem) and when they say they're not pretty, convince them they r and u'd have made the day of their lives.

Answer 7

A lot of times the compliments will come when we know that we are not looking our best at that time. I have been complimented with sweat pants/flip-flops and a rag tied around my head. To be told that I was "fine" or "beautiful" at the given moment, had to be a joke. Other times, we don't want to get mis-interpreted as being conceded neither.

Answer 8

for a woman every where you look are these tiny woman with little waists and big boobs, they are toned and portrayed as the standard for all woman. So when you tell an average every day girl that she is beautiful she gets this vision of what America portrays as beautiful and then sees herself and that's not what we look like so we don't believe you. plus we like the compliments it makes us feel better.

Answer 9

I am a 26 year old female and not to say that women don't have security issues because some of us do but baby they are fishing and they have you hooked try agreeing with them and see their reaction!!

Answer 10

Low self esteem. We live in a society where airbrushed models and anorexic stars are considered to be the ideal. Real women compare themselves to that and don't feel they measure up to that impossible standard and we beat ourselves up for it.

Answer 11

I'm a guy right but, i think i can answer that question. The reason they say things like that is coz they like hearing that they aren't "bad looking". So in actual fact they know they are sexy but want to confirm that!!!!
