Most women love to feel beautiful. They can spend hundreds of dollars on clothes, makeup and jewelry all because it makes them feel more attractive. Plus, society tells them over and over again, unless they look a certain way they are an inferior product. Not everyone can meet the high standards of the magazine covers and advertisers.
Many girls focus on getting people to tell them that they are valuable. And they find value in their looks so they find it effective to cut themselves down, just so they can hear someone disagree with them. It’s a way of forcing a compliment out of someone. Before long, the person can’t ever say anything positive about themselves. Your role as a man, if you’re dating someone, is to let your girlfriend know with your words how beautiful she is, inside and out. And you will have given her a priceless boost to her self-esteem. Help them also realize how much you appreciate inner beauty…such things as love, kindness, compassion, creativity, and sensitivity. Many young women neglect developing the inner beauty while working only on the outer shell of their physical being.
