Why are some women so insecure?

Some people complain about their body simply because they are not happy with it. Others don't have a person that cares about them to tell he/she that they look good. Sounds like your brother needs to tell his wife how beautiful she actually is every once in a while. She would love every minute of it, trust me.

We are just women.

Most of it just in our heads.

Media.. stupid guys who base their opinions on looks and the peers. All these factors are the reason for a girl being insecure. I was too but now I realize it wasn't worth it. Maybe your brother should give her more attention and love. If he makes her feel like she's PERFECT, maybe she'll stop complaining.

Through the media, the world (pretty much) has established this "perfect look" a woman should achieve. those women who are not even close to the "right measurements" are considered imperfect and need lots of improvements. people have incorporated the idea or the "perfect look" and therefore blurred out the realistic look of women.

no matter how we have established that "everyone is unique in their own special way", it is sad to say that because of the influence of this "perfect look" our idea of BEAUTY is distorted.

Women are so insecure about their bodies because ads and media focus on looks so much. The dove commercials used models with real bodies and a crowd of men complained they were fat even though they were beautiful and of average build.

We are like that because we like to hear compliments, well most of us do. Bringing ourselves down gives us a reason for guys to bring us up.

We are sometimes insecure by how people make us feel especially boys because they got this thing where they compare us to other bitches that have what we may not have when every woman is beautiful in her own way.

Some women are just insecure......My best friend is a showgirl in Vegas and complains that she is fat.....I never understood it myself. I don't know that there IS a reason for it, but not ALL women are like that.

Well how I see it is as follows:

Girls want to know that they are loved and cherished by men. But history hasn't been so kind to them, rather they were subordinated and humiliated by men. That created a skepticism towards men and all this insecurity of "Does he really like me? ", "Am I really good enough? " etc. Or will he only leave me for someone else as is expected in their minds already because they are insecure in the first place. It is an ingrained pattern in the woman of the world. But it is also very natural for a girl to want to look good for her man, not because she wants to know that she is the best, but rather to know that she can make him happy. So girls are actually doing all these things because they love men, and looks are very important to them, because looks is what attracts men physically. While men don't care about looks in a deeper way, but rather want to show affection and let the woman feel good, which in turn is what physically attracts women. So it is kind of a Jing-Jang effect - they fit together. But it takes sacrifice/ or rather acceptance and giving from both sides to make it work. In todays world all these things, natural and unnatural are all mixed up and confused and then you get what you get today.

Let it rather be a compliment to you/ guys when she complains about her body rather than an irritation, because she is concerned about what you think and doing it for you after all.

Sometimes we're so busy adding up our troubles that we forget to count our blessings. =)

It could be that she is missing the natural attention he should be getting from your brother and therefore complains about herself so that he will compliment her. It could also be that she is one of those non-stop whiny, spoiled girls who doesn't know anything else but to complain.
