Why do women read these magazines???

Question

fashion, hair, diet, celeb, etc

i work with women who read these, then get all upset that they can't "look good", then start stuffing their faces out of depression...

can't women accept that they are who and what they are, and that some of us guys really don't care about them trying to seek some HOLY GRAIL of perfection???

these magazines seem to prey upon womens conscious and sub-conscious fears that guys won't want them unless they are "perfect".. at the end of the day most of us are only interested in s*x... :D

come on women, be strong, confident and say "NO MORE... I AM WOMAN, HEAR ME ROAR!!! I WILL DO WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY!!!"

Answer 1

I admire your honesty and yes someof us are lucky enough to hook up with guys who dont expect  us to be barbie dolls but a lot of us meet guys at a young age who make fun of our body flaws and this can stick with us for life. Men's upbringing needs a shake up all mothers/caregivers should teach little boys that everybody has a different body and that body perfection is not the Holy Grail as you say, boy should be taught that personality and a good heart is what matters.

Answer 2

I think really young women fall prey to these types of media because they don't have enough experience in the world to know better. The more mature, well educated, well traveled a person is, the more self confidence one will naturally have. As a society, we really need to do a better job of nurturing the inside and spend less time on teaching the right way to apply lipstick. My father had 3 daughters and taught everyone of us that there was nothing we couldn't do. He taught me to work hard and respect myself. I have that confidence and sometimes it scares you men!
