Why do women want 24/7 affection?

Question

Why do women want to constantly hear who good they look like everyday? How many times do they need to hear it? I rarely hear a woman compliment her man. All I hear is he dont like me like they put their own fantasy in their head about the guy they are with not liking them. There are no enough hours in the day sometimes. To me it makes a girl sound needy in a way.

10 points for best explanation.

Answer 1

you're right a lot of women are insecure.  However how long does it take to say "you look great"?  A little attention does not take long to give and goes a long way in making her happy.  

Answer 2

i don't know, maybe you want her to step up her game

Answer 3

I believe that it is a genetic issue. They were born with that want.

Answer 4

not all women are like that my bf never says i look gd but compliments my tops and make up i think thts his way of saying ur nice lol but i compliment my man all the time

Answer 5

Not every woman wants attention all the time. I don't and i do compliment my husband everyday! So i do feel there are good women out there who are not insecure and selfish. There are still plenty good fish in the sea still.

Answer 6

i cant  be needy like that...its just annoying  

Answer 7

your over reacting. i really don't think that women are wanting a compliment all the time. you must hang out w really desperate women that are totally in secure with them self's. yeah we want compliments but not the way you put it.

you sound like you could use a compliment yourself. maybe you would not be so negative

Answer 8

Women don't want 24/7 affection. If fact that would be pretty annoying! Yes, it is nice to hear that we look good from time to time, but that's just the thing, only from time to time. If he said it every single day, it would loose a lot of the meaning. If he says "Wow, you look great!" after you have got all dressed up to go out, than yeah, it feels good!

About the men getting compliments, women DO give their men a lot of compliments. Maybe not so much on their looks (because that is generally not as important to them....although I do tell my husband he looks nice sometimes). I'm a lot more likely to tell my husband how proud I am for everything he accomplishes. He has a successful career and takes care of his family, he goes to school and pulls in top grades, he make good business decisions and is talented at what he does. He's a great dad, handy around the house, and good in the bedroom. I think those things are more important for him and mean more to him if I tell him than if I said, "Wow! Your hair looks great!"

Answer 9

Women are insecure, and we constantly question ourselves and we have a need for validation... However, even though I like to hear that I look pretty, it doesnt send me to tears if I dont hear it everyday. I love to compliment my husband because it makes me so happy to see his face light up because I have made him feel good. Dont get me wrong, I love a compliment myself, and I have been insecure at times, however its a waste of time to cry over the fact that my husband isnt complimenting me 24/7. I really dont know how to answer your question because Ive never really desperately needed to hear that I rule all day long. The only thing I can say, is that women want to know that they are beautiful, and that they are loved. Everyone wants to feel wanted and appreciated

Answer 10

everyones diff... you dont need to say it all the time. but let her know you notice.. just the way it is.

Answer 11

Apparently the women that you are talking about are insecure with themselves and need constant reassurance that they look good.

I would think that they would get tired of hearing it and question the sincerity. To me it makes a girl sound needy too. If I were a man I sure wouldn't date her or marry her.

Both are guilty of quiting with the niceties.
