Why when a girl angers you, you decide to bring up her looks?

Question

I have found that a lot of times when someone is upset with a girl they call her ugly. I have noticed it on here a few times, which is just silly because no one actually sees the person they're talking about.

What's up with that?

Answer 1

I try to never mention looks when I'm angry, but that is almost always a sure-fire way to hurt/anger a woman. Awfully mean, don't you think?

Answer 2

Lol Women are vein, we care about how we look the smarter ones wont care how others see us but some of us, well most of us do, it is the version of male pride for women lol generally anyway, and that is where people hit then they themselves are hurt.

Answer 3

because for many girls (especially those with low self esteem) their looks are a major soft spot....its a vicious tactic, but its just "hitting them where it hurts"

It really is cruel but for many people, very effective...

Answer 4

Grade school stuff; remember those days? If you didn't like someone, you called them ugly. It's the fastest, easiest insult to come up with.

lol, a well crafted insult requires a little work. ; )

Answer 5

I've noticed that most the feminists on here are referred to as "huge fat and hairy." It's the sign of a shallow, infantile mind.

Answer 6

This is the same as when a girl calls a guy a loser or g*y. They're trying to make the person feel as though they are not worthy to hurt their feelings.

But they are clearly showing that they did anyway hah

Answer 7

Were they more perceptive, these guys could come up with a better grade of insults than "ur ugly!" But since most of the ones saying it are insensitive, immature fools, that's too much to hope for.

Worse yet, since people like this could never appreciate a finely crafted insult, it's hard not to put them in their place without stooping to their level.

In the end, people like that are not worth the bother.

Answer 8

i've noticed that too. its so pathetic and annoying, it just get me soo much angryer and then i get home and look at my self and feel soo much worst about my apperance. And do you know what else, they also bring up your figure. I think that they already know that girls are almost always insecure about their looks/figure so they use it against us. Also i think its because they fancie us:) ooooooooh:D

but not on yahoo question thingy, i meant in like real life

Answer 9

It is not just toward girls or women.  I have noticed that certain people have an almost cruel streak and will go for the low blow every time, even with people they don't know at all.  My ex-husband used to say to people who cut him off in traffic, "You fat f**k!" "You ugly b***h!" or even "You no-good black/Mexican/Asian SOB!"  I always thought it was stupid to bring up personal characteristics when that had nothing to do with what you were angry about.  I mean, at least say, "My granny drives better than you!" or something relevant.  ;~D

Answer 10

its personal no one likes to be personal insults there the worst!

plus people get off on bringing people down

which is discusting

Answer 11

It's what they say when they don't have a way to logically refute her arguments.

Answer 12

HAHAHAHAHA because our society pounds it into girls' head that they must be beautiful and into boys' heads that they must be strong, so to insult a girl call her ugly, to insult a boy call him weak.

Answer 13

Ad hominem attacks are used as a last desperate attempt when ones argument lacks validity.  The necessity of a person to resort to these types of comments speaks volumes about their intelligence.  In short....f*ck 'em.  Their idiots and not worth further thought.

Answer 14

It's no different than people who are angry with a man saying he has a small p***s.  They're both immature.

Answer 15

They do that to make you even more mad.  It's their control and manipulation thing.

Answer 16

because thats their sensitive spot, girls are very sensitive about the way they look.

Answer 17

A: Because they're ignorant and shallow enough to believe that insulting a woman's looks is the worst way to get to her.

B: Because, unfortunately, there is so much emphasis put on women's looks that a lot of women ARE sensitive to stuff like that, and will probably burst into tears if someone makes fun of them.

Personally, if I'm having a rational argument with someone and they're like, "Yeah, well...you're...ugly!", it generally means that they have nothing of value to say.

Answer 18

Because they assume that that is what would hurt them the most. Several idiots on here have said that about me but it doesn't ril me at all. If they critisied my moral values or the work I do or intelligence then I would be annoyed.

I supose a lot of people are obsessed with looks, but I am personally comfortable that I am considered 'good looking' and I am extremely lucky and happy that I do not suffer from the terrible disfigurments or afflictions that some poor people have.

Answer 19

Unfortunately when people are angry they resort to knee jerk reactions.

"You're ugly!" "You're fat!"  "You're a wh*re!" "You're a c***s*cker!"

etc. etc. etc.

It's never ending....

Answer 20

cuz its just about the only thing they care about. You'll say "you selfish , inconsiderate cow", and she goes "whatever". You say "you fat cow" and they start crying. genius

Answer 21

It goes along with the old saying "the stronger the language, the weaker the argument". It's because these people can't come up with a good rebuttal to an argument so they have to resort to personal attacks.

Answer 22

Its pathetic. Usually insecure people feeling the need to call others to boost their own self esteem. Don't worry about it, you're worth more. Lifes to short to worry about idiots. lol

Answer 23

People willd o that because they know it's very personal and like to make people feel as bad as they can without physically hurting them.

It's just a defense. When people do that it's clear you've struck someting in them and they just want to make it even.

Nevertheless it's pathetic.

Answer 24

Because it's a home run.  If you are having a war of words, often making fun of a woman's looks is the heavy artillary.  This is because women in general care deeply about how they look and often are insecure about it.  If you want to draw blood without bringing out the nuclear arsenal (some deeply personal admission they made to you), make fun of how they look.
