Why is the main reason women do this?

Dress up a lot, wear makeup and post an Instagram. What do they want

Mainly to attract a man

Other reasons

For fun? To share and celebrate themselves in a moment they felt self-confident and beautiful? To communicate/associate with a certain fashion sense, life style, etc to their social sphere? Like validation is a big part of social media psychology, but a nice dress doesn't mean it's for male validation specifically (and in most cases it's probably not lowkey.)

If I were to be posting myself in a cute outfit, it's really for the girlies. Men might comment, but the interaction with the women is generally more fun since they're not just looking at it from a sexual perspective. They're more likely to notice like the accessories, the hairstyle, how I chose a specific fit to the dress, etc. Basically all the actual effort that goes into producing the look and then making it seem effortless.

They do it because they feel confident they look beautiful in it. They feel beautiful and so why not post it? while few others do it to get attention and compliments from people especially guys.

But isn’t it then trying to attract a mate?

[Genie23]

Not really. Not in most cases, the first type of women I mentioned don't do it for attention. The second type of women do it only to feel desirable... Get validation but don't have any intention to start something with a stranger.

What do most women fall in group wise

It's wired right into their DNA. They carry the bulk of the reproductive hardware, their entire personalities revolve around bearing children and raising them. All that depends on getting sperm from men one way or another. No that they're conscious of this to any great degree. It's just what they do by nature. This is why women don't own much land and don't often lead nations or such things. They'll always lean to the default program of reproduction. I think they see children as their genetic immortality. When they don't or can't have children it's not uncommon for them to go crazy.

When you ask face to face, they say they do it for themselves; being more confident and stylish is something they like. Indirectly, looking good is about receiving compliments, satisfying their ego, and attracting the men they desire. Most people want this, so no need to overthink it lol.

A lot of that social media posting and begging for attention is meant to impress other women, not men. Look at me, look at my perfect man, perfect home, perfect body, perfect dress. Women are super competitive and nasty to each other.

Because it makes them feel good about themselves. If they’re with you and they’re still doing that, they’re doing it for themselves and for you so Appreciate that. If they’re only doing it when you’re not around, that’s a problem! Address it!

to get attention and validation. nothing more than that. for women getting attention and validation is as satisfying as us men getting random nudes.

The more important question is, why do you care what anyone does? Is it effecting your life?

Three kind of girls feel more confident when they see guys lusting on them. Only trashy girls do it.
