Every one of us has at some point of time in life been at a Catch 22 situation when it comes to answering a question on a woman’s body. As a man you have definitely fielded the ‘do I look fat?’ question several times. Over the years, a woman’s body has always been subject to great attention. The need to be perfect at all times and in all ways is ever present. The concept of a woman’s body changes with the changing times. No wonder then that a woman is under constant pressure which can make her hate herself and her body! Here are a few things that women obsess about in their bodies and hate it if it is not perfect!
Fair skin
The world has always been partial to the fairer skin. Beauty has been equated with fairness since times unknown! No wonder then, women will buy every fairness cream available in the market to light the skin tone. Regular visits to beauticians, who apply facemasks of unimaginable ingredients for a fair and beautiful skin, become a part and parcel of a woman's life.
A clear complexion
Everybody wants to have clean skin, men included. But the pressure to have a clean blemish-free skin is just so much more on a woman! Right from the time a woman steps into her teenage and her first pimple appears, she is bombarded with advices! Mothers, sisters, grandmas, aunties and even the salesgirl at the cosmetics shop; everyone has a well intentioned advice for a blemish free skin!
The weight issue
At any given point of time, a woman will never admit she is of the right weight. There is always so much more to lose! Thanks to the well sculpted matinee idols, being thin was never so tough and demanding!
Fat fingers
Are your fingers slender and delicate? Are your nails well cut and perfectly polished? Do your fingers look inviting enough for your man? This is the kind of 'style and grooming' tips that can be found in every other woman's magazine. With thousands of young impressionable ladies being the readers of these magazines, the ones with fat stubby fingers are most certainly going to be unhappy about this. Understandably so, too!
Hair scare
Smooth and silky hair that doesn't need too much managing. Clean hair with no dandruff, no split ends, no grey strands!! This is what every woman dreams of. Of course, no bad hair days too! Wouldn't it have been so much simpler if there was the one perfect solution to all hair problems?
The breast bet
Women obsess a lot about their breast sizes. What size is the right size? Neither too big and neither too small is what is right. Unfortunately no one has really defined what ‘too small’ and ‘too big’ is!
Butt naturally
Scientifically it has been proven that a woman with a voluminous butt is very attractive for a man. Several cultures across the world believe that women with big back-sides bear healthy and robust children. So if a woman has a butt that may not be worthy of a second look, rest assured that she will leave no stone unturned to achieve that perfect behind! From exercises to surgery, she will definitely explore all the options.
Face without hair
Facial hair in a man may be a symbol of his virility and masculinity. But the same in women is an absolute turnoff. Genetics or underlying pathological disorders, no matter what the reason for the hair is, facial hair is an embarrassing issue for women. They will happily undergo painful procedures to get rid of them!
Small feet
Girls are supposed to be dainty and cute. Small feet are part of the charm! Imagine what a woman with big feet must be dealing with! Endless teasing, being made aware of it constantly and add to it the practical problems like finding the right size, shoe bites- Having big feet can indeed be a nightmare!
According to a study, more than 50% of teenagers say that their body is not perfect. The reason for this is being attributed to the growing influence of the media and every girl’s aspiration to be a supermodel. From a young age, girls start aspiring for a body with Barbie doll measurements, which is impossible without surgery or starvation!
