I’m pretty sure we all know by now that women are very sensitive creatures and the smallest of things can make or break a woman. Females spend countless hours in the bathroom, gym, and mirror just so they can look up to par. Take telling a girl she is beautiful, that is all any woman wants to hear. Or you could reverse it and tell them they aren’t that cute and it will crush their spirit. Women put alot into their image for one reason or another. These are the things you have to worry about while dealing with women also, because what you say can be very effective if it is the wrong thing. The question I have is, “Why can’t women be satisfied with the way they naturally look?”
Women do these things because of the standards set by society. What the world wants, or thinks a woman should look like. Whether you know it or not being attractive can take you very far in life with many things from peers, to jobs, and even higher salaries. So you can only imagine the strain it puts on a woman when most women only want to be accept by the world for their looks. This imaginary standard that has women bent over backwards and trying their hardest to reach because they think that is what looks good in the eyes of the people. Either because they think that is how they should look or because that’s how someone thinks they should look. Some may think this is good, but there is a dark side.
Glamour Health and Diet magazine did an experiment and 97% of women are unhappy with their bodies. There are honestly women in the world that make it their life’s goal to look a certain way. Body image also has a lot to do with age and even ethnic background. What use to only be a problem with women in their late 20s early 30s is happening in the younger generations even more now. Young girls thinking they have to look a certain way so they start taking weight loss pills. Taking on these outrageous diets, not eating, and even using other tactics to lose weight or stay a certain size. There are even some women that resort to photoshop and other editing applications to make themselves look better for photography. Women look at the celebrities, TV, and magazines and decided what they want to look like, these uniform standards of beauty given by society. We even find already attractive females trying to make themselves look better because of something they saw or its a certain features they want and do not have. Some even go to the extremes of drugs and plastic surgery and that is all bad. Some women know when others are self-conscious and use it to their advantage. Sometimes women feed off others shortcomings for their own personal reasons, but not intentionally. When some women see other females with low self esteem it only makes them appreciate the way they look. The makeup companies are the ones who are taking advantage of the one’s who are concerned about their looks. Even the females that are not self-conscious find a way to make their appearance to the world better. The women that have it the worst are those who put on their makeup before leaving their bedroom just to walk into another room with nobody in it.
Theres nothing wrong with the way a female wants to look, she should just accept it before she tries to change it for anyone else. Females should appreciate the body they have and let the world know it. The body might not even be the problem maybe its past relationship or encounters that lead to this feeling of imperfection or being uncomfortable with they way their body looks. Most of the time women are just too hard on themselves in judging their own imagine and should take a second to realize their true beauty. Author Wood Barcalow says “love your body” and I totally agree with that statement. How can you expect someone else to accept you if you don’t accept yourself. Say no to those voice in your head that tell you that you aren’t beautiful just as you are and remind yourself of that daily. Also women should go off of their strengths. Take your best assets and show them off to the world. Let everyone see your natural beauty. Last thing I leave you with is, before you force yourself into looking a certain way try the simple and healthy method. Eat right and exercise, its something all women can do with effort. Always remember ladies your body is your temple and you should cherish and treat it as such.
I agree with the article. The reason why women worry so much about their physical appearance is because they are being held to a high standard in society.
ReplyDelete"Shallow Hal likes a gal." I'm not like old Hal, but I do wish some women, well, men too, would take better care of themselves. I agree that natural beauty is way more appealing than being all dolled up. Extensive make-up is not needed. Just be proud with what you're born with.
ReplyDeleteI also do agree with the article. Because if a women doesn't feel pretty top herself she i not going to feel pretty around other people.
