Anyway, even given my exceptionally inclusive standards, these women could never, ever be at risk of being unattractive. There are degrees of beauty, and they got more than their fair share. For my friend's girlfriend to talk about how it took a long time for her to do things like eat without feeling guilty (she is extremely petit), and like what she saw in the mirror...my jaw dropped. "But...but...you're gorgeous" I protested. If she doesn't consider herself attractive what hope in hell does any other woman have?
What can we do about this? I love these girls. I'd never want them to feel insecure or unhappy. Regardless of my feelings, there's no way they should feel insecure or unhappy, at least about their appearance, in a just world. I may have one idea. My friend, whose girl I so indignantly assured of her physical attractiveness, privately thanked me the other day. "I tell her myself," he said, "but she doesn't really believe me." Apparently, hearing it from me, someone she trusted but had no romantic connection to, made her feel really good. Hearing that they're beautiful from someone not trying to sleep with them seems to reassure women. Doesn't quite make sense to me, because (duh) if they're trying to sleep with you, you're obviously doing something right. But anyway. I think us guys should make an effort to tell all the women in our lives how beautiful they are. By all means tell your girlfriend or your spouse. But also tell your friends, your sisters, your cousins. They seem to need to hear it.
Unlike us guys, who know how damn hot we are already.
