Simple. Body comparison.

Women keep comparing themselves to others. This is their downfall. Magazines and movies promote the 5'10 super skinny girl look as the most attractive. 1 in 1 million girls looks like a super model! Women compare themselves to these alien like girls and think they are inadequate. If women are not comparing themselves to television/movie stars or models they are comparing themselves to the pretty girl at work or school who get all of the attention. Women yearn to be noticed. They think if I only I looked like this I would be beautiful. Comparing a banana and an apple makes no sense. They are both fruits and they are both different. Women are like fruits they come in all shapes and sizes and they all have different flavors. We are not all meant to be bananas, that would be very boring.

What women think is beautiful.

-Super tall- Between 5'10 and 5'11.

-Thin as a stick- Where the legs dent inwards at the thighs and the knees looks almost bony.

-Long long long hair-Too long

-A ton of makeup- Raccoon eyes, lobster colored cheeks, and lips so glossed over that someone on Pluto could see their lips glare.

-Big Eyes- Bush baby eyes

-Small nose- Like a bird.

-Huge Lips-  Like their lips were attacked by killer bees.

-Huge Boobs- Double D's

The Reality.

-Most women are between 5'1 and 5'7

-Most women have body fat. WOMEN ARE SUPPOSED TO!

-Long hair is hard to manage and takes to long to grow.

-Makeup is too much of a hassle to put on everyday like models

-Most women have almond shaped medium sized eyes

-Noses generally range from medium to large. Small noses aren't generally too common.

-Most women have thin lips

-Being super skinny and having huge boobs is just unnatural.

Even if women have some of the wanted characteristics it's near impossible to get all of them. Women should start looking at reality. The unfortunate thing is, they don't. Women strive for that perfection that is impossible. When women look in a mirror they see their faults, not their assets. The faults and the mix matching is what make women beautiful. Being different is something to be proud of, not something to hide. Our society has made women think they need to look a certain way to be beautiful. This is why women lack confidence.
