Truly pretty women doubt their looks. The smart girls question their ideas. The funny girls think they are being made fun of. Only the mean girls defend themselves with ***** armor. Where are the girls that have all four traits evenly mixed?

Look at society and then ask this question. Why would a beautiful woman not think shes pretty, because society says you need surgery to be truly breath taking. Why would a smart girl doubt her brains, because she knows that all the guys she has met wanted cheer leaders, not brains. The real question is why has our society went from the female being a goddess to the female being a harlet. You will find a woman who has those traits but first you have to nurture those traits in her.
It seems I forgot one :) I cant deny that many women are bitchy. Its a defence mechanism. If you live your life knowing all of the above stated, then some women turn a bit angry. They decide, and rightfully so, that there is nothing wrong with being a woman and they get very angry with people who do. You can tone down this aspect in a women by letting her know that she is nice and perfect and wonderful, you know, all of those things most women love to hear.

There are tremendous pressures from other women--not men or magazines--to find something wrong with your looks. Groups of women always sit around saying things like, "I need to lose weight," or "My hair is awful." And it's really intimidating at that point to be the only one who actually thinks she's okay, because that makes you look really stuck-up.
Intellect works a little differently for women than it does for men. I do believe that men are more likely to aggressively assert their positions, and women are more likely to consider other sides of the issue. Which may look like doubting their ideas, but it's not really. It's called having a conversation instead of shouting, and we're better at it than you guys are. Sorry.
I'm not particularly funny or mean, so I have no insight on those points. But I am pretty and smart, and it feels good to admit it.

Pretty women doubt their looks because there is always that one jealous person who is constantly telling them they're not beautiful.
Smart girls question their ideas for the same reason.
Funny girls can't help but wonder if people are laughing at their jokes or at them.
Mean girls are defensive because that is what makes them mean.
There are girls that have a mix of all four traits, but you will never find an even mix.

Truly pretty women may doubt their looks because flaws show up more on an otherwise pretty person.
Smart women may question their ideas because they are smart enough to know that it is wise to question one's ideas, no matter how sure one may feel.
Funny girls think they're being made fun of because they make fun of things and maybe people themselves.
Mean girls can defend themselves because its always easier to defend yourself when you have mean on your side.

I think you can be a lovely person and still have confidence, I believe women who are unsure of themselves didn't receive enough praise as children. You must always believe in yourself, otherwise other people won't.

Becuse women prefer to be more attractive and are more conscious about their beauty.Women wish that they must be given importance at wherever they go.So they used to compare their beauty with other women.If other women looks attractive then they were unsuree about their beauty.

I guess it can be from childhood, whatever has been drummed into you.
Magazines & the worlds preoccupation with thinness & beauty hasn't helped anyone at all.
