Because some women compete against other women using perceived thought of what a man would consider beautiful.
Yeah, like they think men love false eyelashes, hair weaves, fake boobs, botox face, falsely plumped lips, fake booty, etc.,. Men love this stuff.
Aren't those the women who get followed on Instagram? If men want natural, their follows and likes are sending the wrong message.![]()
lol
They probably think her hair looks like that naturally too and doesn't require hours of styling (and likely some hair extensions.)click to expand

men are wired visually. we don't like to accept that but deep down, we're wired to respond to that.
women are wired emotionally. so a man who touches our "checkmarks" with his personality wins no matter what he looks like.
It's the same reason men compete with each other for resources, status and power (both material and psychological etc).
Gay men compete visually too, for this reason.
It's all lizard brain stuff and the answer is ugly and uncomfortable for many.
Agreed. Trends tell men what is hot. They think it's their true preference, but it's media-influenced, which is why Elle McPherson was perfect and considered "The Body" in the 90s, but now it would be someone shorter and curvier. Men comply and talk about what is hot. Women try to match it because subconsciously we know how we look determines how many guys will give us a chance.click to expand

Temporary alliances born out of mutual interests.
It’s so much easier as kiddos. Cool shoes! Wanna be my friend?
Is that how it works?
I mean it would make sense because I usually only have one pair of shoes for a couple of years and only ever have a handful of friends at a time.click to expand
Posted by PhangusMen love it when women are so desperate they will do anything to get validated. That's the 1st step to easy sex.Posted by DonnaLibraPosted by nikkistar

I was thinking the other day, in Victorian times every man must have thought his wife's body was bangin' since he would have only seen a handful of naked women's bodies in person before marriage (maybe a couple prostitutes and a loose farmer's daughter in his village). I would not want to live in Victorian times when women were basically property, but that was an upside. *shrugs*click to expand
Posted by Black-MambaThey would slag off my guy. Not always to my face, but it always got back to me. It’s a pretty tight community where’s there’s *maaay*be a degree and a half of separation. lol When things got weird between me and those guys, my relationship with their partners began to struggle as well.

I got off of mainstream social media early last year because it felt useless for me. All of the scrolling and watching people that I know post up things that meant nothing just felt redundant. I have definitely given a lot of people the axe and committed a form of social suicide. My friend group stays small and I prefer it this way. I especially gotten rid of a particular group of guys I’ve grown up with dating far back to elementary. My life has improved a good amount since then and I don’t regret it. Sometimes, you don’t realize who is pulling you down until you pull the wool off of your eyes yourself.
In my case, it was feeling inadequate of myself by comparing my personal life to others on social media and by cutting out the people that want you to fail from your physical life. A farce well played by the ones that don’t want you to succeed and all the ones on social media that don’t want you to see their worst days.
I’ve watched a lot of my closer male counterparts grow over the years, but the more I’ve hung out with them, the more they wanted me to make poor choices for the sake of brotherhood. Then there are always people on social that post toxic things and air out dirty laundry so that it just gets annoying and depressing.
Like I’ve said before, my friend circle is small now and those are the men and women that I cherish that has similar or inspiring goals compared to me.
I felt this SO hard. ❤️
Would just delete my FB, but I’ve got tons of pics, from using it as a photo dump all those years. And all the linked accounts I have. Ain’t nobody got time to start over with a new Spotify!
I’m glad I was able to connect and touch you with words.
It’s always through the most troubling times and when you have most doubts with yourself that you see who will be there to carry you when you are down, especially when you know that you was there for them when they needed it. I mean, let’s not keep count, but there are definitely people out there that leech on kindness.
Also, since you’ve mentioned the dating part in your post, it would make more sense that true friends understand you are dating. Real friendships stay on pause and they should allow that freedom for you to continue where you left off.
Not saying you should delete your social media, but it was freeing and provided clarity for me.
Yeah... most of my friends were males I met through soccer. Then I became friends with their WAGs. That initial crack I mentioned, were the couple of guy friends I’ve come to realize had ulterior motives in their friendships with me. Once they realized the Virgo was a permanent fixture, it created stress with them and their partners. Plenty of other stuff went down over the years, but I think that was the beginning of the end of this friend group. 😕
What kind of stress
Are they all cheaters thenclick to expand

I don’t give a fuck if men are attracted to me so no make up or any of that bs for me. I’ve had 3 people in the last two days tells me they thought i was early 20s and not 35 like I actually am. Make up hasn’t aged my skin so I still have a youthful look to me. I look better in person than I do in pictures though. Women would keep their looks longer if they didn’t ruin themselves with make up and shit. Trying to become attractive to men is what ruins most women’s looks. I’m. It saying I’m attractive I’m average at best but I look just like I did when I was younger because I haven’t artificially aged my face.
How novel that a lesbian wouldn't care if men are attracted to her. I mean, come on, really?
I know plenty of lesbians that still value men’s opinions on attractiveness and shit. I don’t. I don’t give a fuck about men’s opinions of me. Think about every “no fat chicks” delusionally also fat guy (and I could name names even on dxp) that think their opinion on a woman’s weight or attractiveness is important lol. I am fat specifically because I don’t want to be attractive to men and my natural metabolism is so high I had to be super unhealthy to gain this weight. But it makes me happy. Women in general aren’t as concerned about that shit as men are. So only dealing with self important idiots online who tell me I’m fat as if I didn’t know or didn’t choose it to try to hurt me. Lawl.
How do people know that you’re fat online?
I’ve posted pics. The thing people don’t understand is that even if I looked like I got hit in the face with a shovel I’d still have tons of admirers because of all the Aries and Scorpio I have in my chart 😋 I’ve never had trouble finding a solid mate when I’ve wanted one. It’s easier for women though I believe.
Yeah with confidence, looks and size doesn’t matter much. Your insides shine more and it draws people in!
Women are less picky about looks in general so dating women I’ve never really had to worry about it. One of the women I’ve loved the most described me as “ugly sexy” but she focused on the sexy part lol
Lmao. Wtf?! Wow. I can’t believe she actually admitted that and you still liked her.
I was already so in love with her by that point. Lol. We ended up not being together shortly after except we kept having sex for a while after. If I told you stories about her you’d think she was awful LOLclick to expand
