Why do girls ask “Do you think she’s pretty?” ?

[SatanicBacon]

A girl I like asked “Do you think she’s pretty?” referring to a celebrity, how on earth does one respond to that?

little help here please!

[CherryRoseChampange]

When I ask this question it's because I think the girl is sexy. I'm bisexual and my boyfriend and I drool over pictures of other women together. The three exceptions to this are 1. If i look up to the woman so I ask if he thinks she's pretty so I can start up a conversation about how I think she is and why she's amazing. 2. I think she's ugly so I ask my guy to see if he agrees and he always does, and we laugh like assholes at her. 3. I wanna try a new look but I want to show him another girl with that look so I can see his opinion on it before I try it. It's my slick way of seeing if he'll approve of the new looks I'm into.

I personally don't ask if I'm feeling insecure or something. He tells me I'm pretty every day all day. Plus, he's sort of a dick/picky so if I was ugly he'd let me know. With this question, I'd tell you that most girls probably aren't like me so I'd go safe but still be honest. Say she's pretty if you think she is but make sure to remind your girl she's better. Normally that's all they want to hear anyway.

that’s an insecure girl question right there. don’t even answer it. anything you say will make her upset.

[boulshyte]

bs..

[crazy8000]

Right on the uncomfortable nerve for many females that tries to deny they are insecure 😂

[Burgerboy21]

But wouldn't it be worse to just leave the question unanswered?

[Opinion Owner]

boulshyte must be an insecure girl lol

[Opinion Owner]

@burgerboy21 well i guess that’s up for you to decide. you can say “you’re way prettier” and she still won’t believe you and complain to you how you are a liar and then she’ll go into details of the celebrities body, or you can say “yes she is pretty” and she will get mad how you never call her pretty, or she’ll make up that you’re always looking at pictures of that celebrity.

[Burgerboy21]

Yeah, but God forbid you leave the question unanswered. Don't you think she'll jump straight to the conclusion that you're not answering because she "knows the answer" and he is resisting to avoid hurting her feelings?
So no matter what you do, a negative reaction is unavoidable, but answering is at least somewhat better.

[Opinion Owner]

i’d honestly just try and switch the topic.

[JSmuve]

They're comparing themselves to that chick. If you answer yes and she feels unattractive compared to her then you've unintentionally communicated that you prefer the chick in question to her, you'd rather have that chick if you could, and you find her unattractive.

Always answer no. Don't even hesitate. Even make up some bullshit excuse for why you answered no. Bonus points if you can tie it back to her to make her feel attractive.

[windknowsmyname]

Id text or tell her
" tend to take natural beauty to heart. Like you for example."
Or
"The one with the [describe her looks] is way better."

Basically id shift the question to a compliment to her.

[blaasian]

Depending on how the girl feel about you and her own self confidence is the answer or reply you will get back on your response towards her. For example if she’s really nice and sweet and compliments people all the time she shouldn’t be bothered and she would agree, but on the other hand if not then she may catch a little attitude.

[iamconfusion111]

I personally don't do it, but a lot of girls do it because of their insecurities. That celebrity is probably someone who they find prettier than them so they see if you agree that they're pretty and that just feeds their insecurities even more. I would never ask that and if I did I'd want the boy to be honest, but most girls don't so I'd advise you to stay safe and just tell her that she's prettier.

[yousir]

Look briefly at the testicle receptacle in her purse and then reassure her that you don't have any opinions except the ones she allows you to have. That always works.

[rjroy3]

How to respond? Honestly.

I'll be super specific with it. Anywhere from "Not my type, but she's cute/has nice hair/I like her style/smile" to "if you begged me to have a threesome with the two of you I wouldn't say no".

The only "bad" responses would be obviously lying about a girl being attractive, or answers that suggest you would leave her if you had the opportunity.

[TadCurious]

It can be an innocent question, but it can also be a shit test. If it's a shit test she's wanting to know how much you're gonna gush over another woman's attractiveness. It's best to just say something like "She's an attractive woman" and leave it at that.

[demonics]

She's gauging on whether you find her attractive. This is literally How I met an ex girlfriend... at age 16.

That or she's gauging your overall demeanor, your abilty to be (ugh) kind... so she'll show you a picture of an obviously ugly chick to see if you're a huge asshole (like me). Because she's too childish to ask you, or get to know you like an adult.

[demonics]

By *her I meant the girl asking the question. Someone told her she looks like ____ celebrity. She then asks you if you think ____ celebrity is attractive.

[Anonymous]

I don’t find myself pretty Hahahaha. I want to trade butts with someone with a smaller one. No matter how much I work out, my butt stays the same :( lol. Being pear shaped is HARD

[Opinion Owner]

Every celebrity will ALWAYS be prettier than me. Something we women (some of us) have to get used to. I admit that I’m not that pretty

[witherwing]

To see what kind of women you find attractive. It's a yes or no question.

[hsshannah96]

True

[AliGodlike]

Ty
You're life saver

[airylnovatech]

It's a trap question. Unless your girlfriend is exceedingly cool, you don't want to answer it. It never leads to success.

What you want to do is tell your girlfriend the celebrity is not your type. Then tell your girlfriend she's your type.

[UnstableCraft]

Be honest. Yeah I think she is. Then say something about the girl that is better. Example:
Do you think she's pretty?
Yeah. I really like her hair, but her eyes have nothing on yours.

[dr1fter]

Look into her eyes, give her a sly grin, and then say "ehh, I know someone who's prettier."

If it's over text, write the same message, but end it with a wink

[boston96]

She's wondering if she needs to look like her to grab your attention

[kaskas19]

Idk? I don't do that. I like acknowledging beautiful women. Just say what you mean. If she gets pissed off, she's too insecure.

[hasrett]

Just say what you mean. If she gets offended by that, who cares. If she doesn't want to hear the answer she shouldn't ask

[DanielOfTheNorth]

It is a trick question. Or just a way for her gauge what you find attractive.

I would also try asking her a question back, and say "Why? Do you think she's pretty?". Just spin the question back on her

[Guanfei]

Because girls can't conceive that there can be 2 pretty girls existing. If she asks you if another girl is pretty, and you say yes, for her it means that she's not and you prefer the other girl.

[That1tallguy]

Can guys stop acting like bitches and answer truthfully. If you think she's pretty admit it. Don't act like being in a relationship means you stop finding other girls attractive. I wouldn't expect her to think I'm the hottest guy in the world.

[Littleblueridinghood]

I mean its more because this question specifically isn't about finding women attractive. This question is a well know red zone lol the ref is throwing flags so much he looks like a bad magician. This specific question cones from a place of DEEP and hateful jealousy, and if you dont answer right this chick will have a meltdown.

See she's been conparing herself to this "her" all week and gotten gerself all pissed off about it because she doesn't think she measures up. This is the question that comes long after a guy mentiins his favorite female actress, or singer, or best friend. Or a poster Who knows. Lol

Its not about answering it truthfully its about not releasing the kracken

[That1tallguy]

You shouldn't compare yourself to a celebrity that's just dumb and a unrealistic expectation. If you ask me do you think Kyle Jenner is hot I'll say hell yea she is.

[Littleblueridinghood]

Its not about that tho lol its about your opinion matter so much that the girl gets jealous. You dont control jealousy my friend, if it were possible people wouldn't get jealous

[Littleblueridinghood]

You're still on the younger side of it so it make taoe some more time to see what im trying to, convey

[That1tallguy]

I get it if we're talking about some one irl that you know but it's childish to be jealous of someone who's famous. If my girlfriend had a celebrity crush I couldn't care less because it doesn't mean she would choose him over me, it's just a fantasy. It still stands if you feel like you have to lie your a little bitch.

[That1tallguy]

Your only 4 years older lol I get what your saying but I still think that mentality is stupid

[Littleblueridinghood]

It is stupid but its also a thing. And 4 years can be a lot. Girls are often insecure. It makes tgem do dumb shit lol

[Ellie-V]

How do you respond? What do you mean? It’s a simple yes or no question.

[crazy8000]

Dump her ;)

[Ellie-V]

... k

[SamInfanta]

If she likes you, she will be so freaking burning. And she may sarcastically say yes. If she doesn't like you, she may immediately says "yes, I like her too, she's cool"

[rohama]

May be she just wants to know your choice in women so she can copy her styles and things you like about her to impress you (that is if the women she's referring to is a celebrity)
If she's referring to a normal girl she probably wants validation and satisfaction from you that you won't leave her for someone better looking, that looks are not everything that matters to you.
