Obviously, we think you are attractive, funny, smart, smart-assed at times, but in the end, we get no recognition from you.<br /><br />To answer your question about how or when did this happen, I would put a large part of it on the media, another part on your friends, an even larger part on at least one of the men in your life, and last but not least, you must accept a portion of this blame yourself.<br /><br />Most women think they have to be painted and prissy to get a man's attention. Honestly, I could care less if you ever wore make-up. I would hang out with you if you were wearing a low-cut short dress or a pair of sweats that you helper your friend paint their apartment in... really doesnt matter. Its about the person inside to me. Take this as you will Erin, hope it helps.Jerrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952849078738905228.post-48746332876398380472011-10-01T08:06:52.731-05:002011-10-01T08:06:52.731-05:00As women, we try to see ourselves the way we think...As women, we try to see ourselves the way we think men see us. We nitpick every little imperfection, although most people don't notice them. So when we look at the pieces of the puzzle they don't make sense. But when we put them all together, and look at ourselves the way others do, we finally see that we are beautiful. Something that helps me to not obsess is to avoid looking in the mirror except we I need to (putting on make up, dressing, etc.) To me it's something like picking a zit; the more you mess with it the worse it gets and often spreads and/or leaves scars: It's infectious and damaging to our sense of self.Lilackisseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02468641569303095779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952849078738905228.post-11264366989807961812011-09-30T15:27:04.255-05:002011-09-30T15:27:04.255-05:00Erin,

Don't be so hard on yourself. (And I think you look great too!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
