Yeaap. Pretty much.

WHY DO GUYS FEEL THE NEED TO FUCK?

Originally for the survival of the species.
You only need 1 man and X women to produce a lot of offsprings
only the amount of females is relevant.
Originally only the best males got to mate and therefore
the offsprings would potentially always be strong, efficiently
weeding out the genes that did not fit the living conditions.
This way there was enough Mams for a thousand women.
The fitting genes moved to the next generation.
The male had to keep coming, because there were more stuff
awaiting to get knocked up.

OK HARRY.

I did a thesis on this for my project. So the reason can be pretty lengthy.

This can be broken down into several generic reasons but the underlying reason is a reason that most people do not realise how much it influences them.

The beautiful and ugly are stereotyped in our society. The beautiful are often stereotyped to be good and the ugly are often stereotyped to be evil. Stories like Hansel and Gretel and Sleeping beauty had the evil witch to be ugly and often riddled with imperfections such as "warts", "abnormally large noses" and "wrinkled". This creates the image to people that you have to be beautiful to be good and if you were not, you'd be classified as evil.

A study was taken out where teachers were told a particularly unattractive child had been misbehaving. The teachers had quickly assumed that the child had an "emperor syndrome" aka spoilt brat. However when the teachers were told that an attractive child of the same misbehaving things he had done. They assumed that the child had been misunderstood or consider the thing the child had done to be a lot less severe.

Most people know its not fair to discriminate against the unattractive but privately, we all do. In our society, most people treat attractive people looking better than they treat unattractive thus it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. We become better looking to be treated better and as the bar is raised, we strive to reach the bar.

This quickly tells children that they have to look good (perfect) in order to be accepted by society and their looks become a gauge of self-worth. Girls have long been the subject of such criticism and only recently men too. As a result, you'll notice that younger kids are being vainer, a new breed of men called Metro-sexual, men facial products, men make up too.

Girls who have long been a subject of such criticism have issues with their self-confidence. Their self-confidence is closely linked to their self-worth. They only feel good about themselves when they "look good" and feel terribly about themselves when they don't feel beautiful.

This leads to the "Am I pretty?" "Am I fat?" "Do you think this dress makes me look fat?"

Girls are not looking for a real answer. They are looking for self-confidence. NO MATTER what they say. They will always say otherwise, but the truth is this and the real truth is that all this criticism and stereotyping has been so woven into our conciousness that we do not realise that this is the underlying issue. Even men. (But of course, if the dress really does make them look fat then tell them! And make it sound better like, the cutting of the dress doesn't suit your body. Instead of blaming their body. )

FYI I'm a girl too. And if you read this far I hope you found it interesting. If you are interested in the details, you can always message me.

I agree with what lunawingz said. But it can also be the other way around. For a very long period of time I though I was kinda ugly, no more than pretty in my best days. I couldn’t attract much attention, guys didn’t look at me and I had very few friends. So I had no confidence. But when I finally got out of this depression and started to like my self better, basically got some confidence I suddenly began to be interesting to guys, made some very good friends. The point is my physical appearance didn’t change, I still look the same, but you can see on my face that I’m proud of how I am and people can see this.

On a side note, I look good enough that at an anime convention a lolita designer asked me to be a model for her dresses. So it’s obvious that my lack of confidence was the source of my problems.

So for a change try to have confidence in yourselves and see what happens.

There is also a theory that your inner personality influences your outward appearance. Barring a few exceptions, I have always found this to be fairly accurate.

I completely agree with people who say that inner beauty is more important than outer beauty.

That should go without saying.

With the advent of technology, it will be increasingly painless, safe, and cheap to get cosmetic surgery. It will only get better.

Beauty on the inside is much more difficult for surgery to improve. Even with today's advanced technology, it's extremely difficult to artificially increase muscle mass and efficiency and improve/alter bone structure... and we can forget about artificially increasing brain power.

Well that's pretty much what I meant in my previous post.
As for surgeries I think there's still a long way to go untill everyone will afford such expensive luxury plus is still very riscky.

I wouldn't say "need" more "prefer or want" to be pretty. Everyone feels this way call it what you will handsome, attractive, well groomed, it all means the same thing essentially.

It's been proven that being attractive is advantageous for someone, with studies showing that attractive people earn a significantly higher amount of money than less attractive people. People are nicer to attractive people, they have more chances to get a partner and usually have more friends too. Most people recognize this and try to make themselves more attractive.

Society places emphasis on female beauty than male beauty so that's why women usually tend to be more focused on appearances than men, there are obviously exceptions but this tends to be the case.

BECAUSE MEN LOVE PRETTY GIRLS DUH, OBVIOUSLY

This World May Not What Everyone Thought

I haven't. It seems to me that there are so many 'hot' women out there who are vapid and shallow and stupid, as opposed to women who are actually intelligent and caring.

Of course, I don't find said 'hot' women attractive, so I guess it is kind of true. My tastes are different than the majority of the population though.

________________

Not talking about hot women. When I look at someone, I can usually get a 'vibe' so to say. And usually, I'm pretty accurate. Kind people seem kind, and unkind people seem unkind.
Look again at those 'hot' women, and take a hard look. You'll notice some 'quirks' that break through. And I agree with you on your view of attractivenes. I find pretty women more attractive than the 'hot' ones.

Although cosmetics and other things like that so present a problem.

And how exactly can you tell you are pretty accurate or not? Do you ask them if they are like that? Do you become friends with them to check? Or do you just assume you are?
