Answer 2

Pretty Girls Low Self Esteem

Answer 3

I'm not sure but it basically true now that you mentioned it. I'm not being conceeded but I seem to be pretty good looking and I was telling someone the other day its not what people think, people well more women are kinda mean to you because of it. It causes a lot of problems sometimes. But the low self esteem thing I dont know maybe its because when there growing up there confident about some things and focus on others, and its different from the challenges ugly people do. I have noticed women that arent that good looking have to have a nice personality or they wouldnt have anything to work with belive me they would like to be themselves to but if the;y were they would not have any attractive qualities. Not that everyone is mean, its just women generally are catty. Get what i'm trying to say? Anyways hope that helps.

Answer 4

A lot of you are saying that pretty girls with low self-esteem have low self-esteem because their outer beauty is taken advantage of. Not always the case. There could be a plethora of reasons. One of a myriad of examples is: I was (still kind of am) socially awkward in middle school, therefore, I was bullied heavily, and had no friends. The peers (acquaintances, not bullies) I looked up to in middle school were all in some kind of relationship, and I just wasn't there yet. I still feel like there's a good amount of unattractiveness about me, but yet my boyfriend of almost 3 years always asks me the same exact question as this post...

Answer 5

People seem to think pretty people have it all figured out. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Being attractive has its advantages. Yes pretty people do get the job....however there may be certain things they are expected to do to keep the job or God forbid they want and deserve to be promoted.

Or how about people don't take them seriously because they are beautiful??? They can have a PhD and speak several languages fluently and still have all sorts of esteem issues. Why? because they look in the mirror everyday and see a pretty face and body and know why some people want to be around them.....or why men want to even talk to them.

Being looked upon as a beautiful object instead of a contributing member of society, takes away from all the hard work they may have put into being pretty, prepared, and confident on the inside.

Answer 6

i don't think that all pretty girls have low self esteem. BUT the ones that do is because men treat them a certain way because they are pretty, they get special treatment. so they are constantly worried to keep up their looks so that they will continue to be treated well because they are attractive. They probably obssess on their appearance because they know if they stay looking great they will get the job, get the guy, get things. Sadly enough, because men tend to do that, to treat pretty women better than average women most of the time, thats how it is. Though they really need to know to do more than care about looks because one day when they are older, good looks will fade away somewhat. Hopefully they will learn whats inside matters most. Its because people treated them differently because they are pretty i suppose is the answer, and they are afraid to not be pretty so they worry about looks all the time. and base who they are on their appearance

Answer 7

If all of their self esteem come from being pretty they might only feel good when people are looking at them.

I think most naturally pretty girls do not have low self esteem.
But if a girl appears to be obcessed with her appearance then she might have low self esteem.

The beauty industry bombards girls all over the world, even at young ages, all the time. Magazine articles, TV ads, celebs like Paris and Nicky, all add up to create the constant pressure to be thin, soft, light, sexy, sweet, hairless, clean, feminine, etc. Women are all (most of them) aware that the models they see are thinner than 98% of women and no amount of diet and excersize can get them there. They know all about airbrushing and Photoshopping... but after years and years of "Skinny! You must be skinny! You must look like this or you're not beautiful!!" that starts to become what women feel they should look like, even when that's not realistic. As a guy, all you can do is reassure her that she is beautiful to you in every way and that her opinion is the only one that matters. Joke around with her, even, about what you think Paris Hilton looks like in person - a fatso? Or a pathetic woman wasting away to nothingness? Who in their right mind wants to be that sickeningly skinny anyway? Anyway, hope this helps. P.S. Go to YouTube and search Dove Evolution to see what models REALLY look like... then look at Dove Commercial - Onslaught... this is real. Girls as young as 5 or 6 see this stuff everyday.

Answer 9

Not all pretty girls have low self esteem. Anyone, pretty or somewhat pretty, would have low self esteem if they feel something about them or something that they do is not that great. No one is perfect.

Answer 10

Often times girls are told they are pretty or beautiful, and they come to believe that's all they have to offer, therefore, low self esteem. Show those people you have a brain and are a caring person.
