    I think it's only natural for us women to get a bit jealous. I always have been this way. I've always been the 'cute' one...not the pretty one, not the stop traffic one, not the sexy one...just the cute one.

    Eah.......Miss USA contestants are overrated.......all that big hair and makeup......Keep your head up girl....
  • Ladies, if a man loves you, pretty women are just like paintings on someone else's wall, we look at them, but we do not want to take them and hang them at our own house. Give us a little more credit.

    Love Charlie.

    I have been like this my whole life but my goal is to be happy with myself and see that it is okay that people are out there that look like Miss America... You are very pretty and have some insecurities... that is normal for everyone to some degree but confidence will win over looks in the long run. I have to keep telling that to myself every day I look in the mirror. :)

    Oh Charlie......if we could only see that ourselves.....sigh...............
  • Not everyone will view her or anyone else on the same beauty scale as you will or do. What I find beautiful in a woman has very little to do with how she physically appears. The hottest girl I know is the mother of 4 wonderful children, is a size 10 and she is what most would call a bit odd looking. I am not a lesbian either, but if I was she is who I would want.

    He may look, but he is with you. I don't normally get jealous of other chicks, just because I know how much my husband loves me. Now, there have been occasions, and it was definitely my insecurities about myself at that time that caused it.

    You are beautiful.


    Eah.......Miss USA contestants are overrated.......all that big hair and makeup......Keep your head up girl....

    gallons upon gallons of makeup. ugh. 5 gallon drum of hairspray. this would not make me feel pretty...it would make me feel heavy. Do you think they make them put on the barbie perma grin before they apply makeup so it doesn't crack?

    Thanks Charlie:blushing:
    @sarafleas......and it seems that all that gunk would melt in all the bright lights...........
    However....I have never really been jealous of the USA pageant type girls......but Runway Models and high fashion models.......make me feel revolted with myself......

    Be confident. If a pretty face can steal your mate away, then that mate was not a keeper. Jealousy/insecurity is such a waste of time.

    they make me feel fat....they make my broomstick feel fat too.:explode:
  • I feel the EXACT same way. I have a friend that I don't normally hang out with if my Husband is around....because of MY stupid insecurities. I HATE feeling this way. I know my Husband loves me but I feel like there are WAYYYY more beautiful women myself and struggle. It's the way the media portrays beauty. I have to remind myself that he LOVES me and finds me Beautiful daily.....You are VERY pretty by the way ; )

    This. There will always be someone prettier. Don't waste your time worrying about things you can't do anything about. Use that time for something more productive, like loving that boyfriend you have with you right now!

    They often have a case of the "crazies" too :smokin: :laugh:
  • I think that all women can get that way. I know I'm guilty of it myself, but you are beautiful and your boyfriend is with you because he thinks so too.

    I hear you. My opinion, you have nothing to be revolted by at all. You are a lovely Faerie. I get jealous of their mile long legs. sigh. long legs I will never have.
  • feel free to kck me out of this conversation anytime, I feel like I am tresspassing. But.....okay here is a little insight. A guy, and this goes for 90%, who goes into a strip club filled with beautiful women, will after 5 minutes not even realize the women are there anymore. We might go WOW at a pretty girl, but after a minute or 2, the newness wears off and we are like ....meh.

    really? do you want to be that high maintenance? find out if she's smart...or if she's getting through life on her looks. If she's uber intelligent then go with that so you can have conversations with her...it might turn out that being hot isn't all that great...but if she's dumber then hell, you get to have an advantage! an unfair one even, because you're smart, and that holds out longer and gets you farther than looks. Your boyfriend's best friend is looking for a hoe not a housewife, but you can be a lady on the streets and a freak in the sheets:blushing: I can't stand any of my friend's girlfriends...they all seem to be attracting the psychos

    Now, you do not know if she is a hoe. All you know is she is pretty. I agree with the rest though. :drinker:

    it's a quote from a song, meaning her boyfriend's friend isn't ready to find baby's momma just yet...

    I think that having insecurities on any level is completely normal. And the more unhappy we become with our bodies, the more that ugly side of jealousy and insecurity rears itself. And we all know it...those times we create situations that aren't really there, convince ourselves our boyfriend couldn't love us or be attracted to us because "look at this stomach!", but we have to remember: Those are OUR insecurities....not the truth.

    I think it's important to remember that while you're working on losing weight and exercising, to also focus on your total well being, including your self image. If we would all work as hard on getting our self image and self worth up like we do getting our waist smaller, we'd be able to look at another female and think "good for her, she's beautiful" and nothing more! And our relationships and sanity would be all the better for it!

    well said! I agree. I have seen friends' insecurities destroy their relationships, and in the end it seems silly.

    Thanks everyone. I know I dont have anything to worry about. Its nice to know that all you pretty girls worry about the same things :)
  • Its nice to know someone thinks I'm pretty. Not too keen on the girl aspect, but i'll take it!
