Poll: Why is it that SOME people feel the need to ask us how they look?

Is it just me or is that very irritating? they either like hearing others tell them how gorgeous they are, or they have low self esteem and need strangers to validate to them they are good looking, or they are vain because they know they are attractive but gets off on hearing it. It gets old after awhile, would you agree? Star me if you do.

I would never do that nor do I answer those questions.And were on here to have a little fun ask a few good questions help each other out,not a friggen beauty contest.And I'll gladly star you,its a good question.Maybe we could get Y/A to start an "Am I pretty" post?Then they could all look at each other all day and compare whatever they compare?

    I'll get violated for this reply.Any one want to bet how long it'll take?

  • A friend of mine does this everyday ALL day. Whether it's her hair or if I like the her shoes squeak on the floor, I have to validate her. Maybe it's her way of rubbing the fact that she's prettier than some people and her insecurities that just drives me up the wall.

    Suffering from low self esteem and in need of others approval. Very sad I would imagine to live this way.

    I don't know. I sure as hell wouldn't want people rating me, and strangers looking at my picture. It's embarrassing for the person as well, because it shows they really have no pride. Some people need to buckle their belts tighter and get over themselves.

    Low self esteem and fishing for compliments.

    I guess it is because they don't have much self-esteem... or something... and they feel the need to have it lifted up or something... but many people bash them on here... and they should realize that one to...

  • exactly! it pisses me off too!! i think its a vanity thing. same with myspace/facebook, why do people put pictures of themselves taking picturees of themselves on the internet, is it to say, "I exist!!!!" its weird. the need to be individual is ridiculous. also there is so much pressure in society escpecially for girls to be not just beautiful but hot and sexy.

    or they just genuinely want to know our opinions
