There's nothing wrong with liking makeup, heels and sexy clothes for yourself, but trust me, men don't need it. All they need is you. We jump through so many hoops to impress our mates when they're already sold. We are the ones that are hard to impress. We look at ourselves and other women-especially other women-like we're sitting on a judging panel. We can sniff out a flaw like a bloodhound. Ladies, we are entirely too hard on ourselves. Next time you're standing in the mirror taking flaw inventory, please remember the following.
While looking at your butt, you think...
OMG! Look at this thing. I have got to hit the stairmaster. It's way too big/small/flat/jiggly (choose your word).
He thinks...
Um um um, look at that thing, and its ALL MINE.
While looking at your thighs, you think...
I can't believe these chicken legs/thunder thighs. I'm throwing away every pair of shorts I own.
He thinks...
Aww, look at my honey's legs. She's so cute when she wears shorts.
While looking at your belly, you think...
This pudge is not cool.
He thinks...
I love her soft belly.
While looking at your hips, you think...
These hips are out. of. control. Or I have no hips. I look like a boy.
He thinks...
She got a BANGIN' shape
While looking at your breasts, you think...
This is crazy. Why is my left one bigger than the right? I look like a freak.
He thinks...
Oooooooh, boobies
While looking at your face, you think...
Is that a pimple I see? It's huge! I have a mountain on my face.
He thinks...
Is that a pimple I see? It's huge! She has a mountain on her face, but she's still adorable.
Our men love us just the way we are. So stop tripping!!

All these are true but many women don't realize that. I hope this post will help a lot of women.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting and leaving a comment. Have a great week!
tell um-
ReplyDeleteSo true sis. Most of the time we do these things to impress other women and not our men. I guess we just need to realize that God made us beautiful in all of our different shapes, sizes, colors etc. Let's look in the mirrors and say "Woowhee!!! Look at me!!!"
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE that painting you chose. Who's the artist?
ReplyDeleteIts Faith Ringgold. Thanks for dropping by.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. And one thing men find sexier than all else is a woman who thinks she's sexy. That confidence goes a long, long way.
ReplyDeleteSo true Stephanie. I read in a magazine where they interview men about how men LOVE LOVE LOVE a confident woman. One guy in there said "Ill take a condifent woman with on ok body over a woman who isnt confident with a great body"
ReplyDeleteI was going to say what Stephanie said - confidence is what they're attracted to. It's like when people say "He found me when I stopped looking." We are our own worst critics.
ReplyDeleteAnd what is it with women and the hating? Whether it's hating in general, or outdoing each other as mothers. Mmmm a little support please? :-)
Anyway that's what brought me here today! A little support from a fellow SITSer - Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest! Great post!
Yes, confidence is the kicker. Now, if only we women could get some. Thanks for reading!
