My Girlfriend is Beautiful, at least I believe it with all my heart, but she still spends more time doing her hair and putting on make up (Thanks god only a little) then I spend doing all my grooming for the whole week and I am very picky about my appearance before I exit the house. How can I convince her to use that time for more important ends, IE: quality time together over coffee before work?

A lot of women are insecure about their appearance and wish to apply make up to make themselves feel better.
you can blame the media and peer pressure for that. Girls and women are constantly bombarded by extraordinarily beautiful models who are beyond the reach of the average women, so there is this hidden pressure.
What you can do is tell her that she is beautiful, that you love her the way she is, and she will love you for saying that. However, some women need to apply on make up anyway, for their personal esteem.

Women are taught from a very early age that beauty is everything. And they will never reach the predetermined level of acceptable beauty unless they use at least 10 different products each and every day. It is only when you reach your 40's -- if you're lucky -- you realize this is bunk. But no matter how much the man in your life tells you how beautiful you are, you still buy into it, a little.

Because we allways feel we have to compete with each other. The best is not good enough for most women . When we turn the television on and see Skeletons ( very thin women ) strutting their stuff , saying " oh im so fat " or I wish I could loose these last 10 lbs. that makes us look in the mirror and forget any of the self esteem we once had .......... so how do you expect a woman to feel good about herself when that is all we see ?

I'm also like your girlfriend. My husband always tell me that Im beautiful, but I cant believe him. I always tell him that Im not beautiful, and the only rteason why he's telling me that is beacuse I'm his wife. Im always insecure about my appearence. I'm even insecure with his ex, but I can see his ex is not beautiful. I also want to always fix myself, put some make-ups but he didnt want thoose stuff all over my face.
I think the lease you could do is always tell her that she's always beautiful, and you're not telling it just because youre her boyfriend. Tell her you love her for who she is and not just the way she look. Make her feel so special. Treat her like a princess. Maybe that would make her believe shes beautiful. Ok?

Everyone is dishing on women, but I know of a few men who do the same thing, they can stand in front of a mirror for hours, fixing the hair, making sure the mustache is just right. So it is not just the women. Been there, done that, got tired of waiting also, but I tolerated it. I would just go on ahead, saying I would meet him when he was done.

You can't. That's what women do. They primp. You just need to find something to do while she is primping. Maybe take up a hobby, like skydiving or running a marathon, or something else that would occupy you for several hours. The great thing about beauty is that it is in the eye of the beholder.

A lot of us look in the mirror and only see the things that are wrong. Or we compare ourselves to other women we feel are much prettier and then we feel inferior. Don't look at it as being a personality glithch that takes attention away from YOU. Tell your gf positives things about herself that have nothing to do with looks, such as her personality, a kind heart, sense of humor, etc.

you would be strolling a great line. enable the lady comprehend that it is not a sensible business enterprise determination to settle for a pie for weights. tell her is makes much less high priced experience to donate the burden set and take the tax deduction. You dodge hurting her emotions and don’t ought to subject approximately explaining a pie on your spouse, who might take it so nicely. in case you thought it grew to become right into a competent thought, you wouldn’t have asked the question. Your gut grew to become into precise.

I truly believe that many women, especially young women, lack the self-confidence to know that their beauty and appeal comes from within and not from the surface.
You have to let them learn this on their own. Alas, some never learn it.

well thats just like saying why do men not care about there apperance- some do some don't
you can't convince your girlfreind but what you can do is watch her you may find this boring but watch what she does to her hair and face and think to yourself if it really does make her prettier and if not say- would you not like to have a coffe instead of doing your make up. think about it she can't say no when you have just watched her with a very fascinated face ;D
