Girls, what is the main reason YOU worry about your appearance?

Voted B.

I worry a lot about my appearance and it bothers me to a great extent. I hope to change this attitude about myself but we all know its not that easy. The only person I want to see happy is me. And my appearance plays the major role in making me happy. Which in return puts a positive affect on my life aka I'll be more out there, more out-going, confident etc.

As far as the other choices go, I think that if you are happy with yourself, you get the confidence boost you need, your confidence attracts the opposite sex. If you are content with yourself and are at peace with yourself - it'll make others vulnerable and make them question their own insecurities. Everyone just wants to be happy and the appearance is defiantly something that worries majority of the people out there. I hope girls who do struggle through this issue can get past it and just have fun. Good question.

i was beaten up in primary school and stuff cause of how I looked and acted so I *try* to look nice now for fear of being a loser again and being beaten (although the idea is silly)

If you feel good about yourself and you take care of yourself, that's all that matters

So don't worry about your appearance too much as long as you take pride in it

just for my own self satisfaction.

i dnt want to constantly be worried wen I walk out the door wether I look good or not so I take care of it before so I can be confident. plus I wanna look good for my man cause he always looks good for me.

It's not that I worry about it is's like I feel that my appearance is an extension of myself so how I dress expresses my personality. I try to dress for the way I feel, and I like to keep it pretty clean almost modest, just because that is kind of my personality.

I hate to admit it, but I worry about my appearance for guys (not that it does any good). I'm always worried that a guy will see me and think I look completely terrible or he'll think I'm a freak. And I've had so many guys tell me I look like a whale so I really try to look better. Doesn't do any good though. I'm sort of giving up on it now.

for me there are a few reasons:

x. I'm single now and I guess it's sort of nice to be able to flirt around and stuff; might as well look good while I'm at it.
x. it's not that I *feel* like I'm being judged -- I know I always am! I have to look good for people, it would just be so embarrassing to show up somewhere looking sub-par!
x. a lot of my friends look up to me style-wise so I don't like letting them down.

Taking pride in yourself is important. However, it is not good to be so prideful that it becomes arrogance. A little humility is healthy as well.

Well, I have very low self esteem and I am far from being physically comfortable with myself. So because I feel this way, I don't want others to see me as I see myself. So I put a lot of effort into how I look in hopes that when people pass me by, they don't think "ew, she's ugly" etc. Because maybe if people thought I was pretty, etc, I would accept myself for how I look. It's more of a deeper issue with me, but that's pretty much the gist of it.

When I feel like I look good, then I feel better about myself, I feel happier, I feel more energetic.

i like to worry because if I feel I look good I'm happier with myself

I used to do it for the boys, but I was never comfortable since I wasn't being myself. When I stopped caring and just did what I wanted, they started paying attention. I think it was because I had more confidence when I was just being myself. *shrug*

because I feel like I'm being judged at all times.

since I last did a sport I've put on some pounds, I went from a flat toned stomach, to a bulge. my boyfriend says I still look great and skinny, but I know that I can do better than that, that's why I chose B, I'm not happy with the way I look because I know that I'm not always like that and in the off season of a sport I'm to lazy to do anything about it so I get even more depressed and it turns out worse.
