Just as the men comparing the size of its P Mr., women were fond of comparing himself with other women. In fact, a comparison not only the size and shape of breasts, but also the stomach, arms, hips, or thighs.
"Making comparisons was human nature," says psychologist Robyn Silverman, PhD.
The problem is, women do not compare yourself fairly. Many of the women who saw the figure of a beautiful woman, then making measurements of the woman herself. In fact, in terms of age and heredity have been different. This, according to Silverman, is a matter of self-esteem is low.
What's worse, continually assess your hips and abdomen also causes women to self-absorbed. "When you look at a slim woman, and says 'I really fat kok?', It's not just comparing or judging, but also understand other people from the standards yourself," says writer Kate Harding. "The impetus was rooted from a sense of insecurity, and narcissistic."
If you are admiring the beauty of another woman, just say, "Well, yes gorgeous, is she?" Then leave, without feeling threatened or unrivaled.
Here are the facts about how women measure themselves with other women:
When comparing ourselves to models or actors:
81% of women who happily admitted inspired by photographs of models and actresses; and only 47% of women are not happy to do it.
53% of women who are not happy feeling "great" compared with the celebrities; and only 19% of women who feel unhappy about this.
"Instead of comparing your body with the celebrities who have access to nutritionists and trainers who are ready to serve 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, try to compare your perspective," said Silverman. Way, "Say to yourself, 'it was a great actress, and she seemed comfortable with himself. I also want to feel it'."
In this case, you still compare yourself with the actress, but in a way that can give yourself spirit.
When comparing themselves with colleagues and friends:
65% of women are happy to feel motivated to exercise when they saw their friends healthy and only 46% of women are not happy to do it.
27% of women who are unhappy to feel desperate when they see other people who he was so fit; only 6% of women who feel so happy.
According to psychologist Joan Chrisler, PhD, you also need to find an equivalent comparison. Nah fair dong, if you're a 35-year-old woman, but you compare yourself with the secretary in the office who had just graduated college?
The most interesting fact was demonstrated when women compared with himself when still young:
44% of women are happy, and 47% of women who are unhappy tend to compare their current body size is the size of their bodies many years ago.
If compared, when you are just starting to work in jeans number 27. Now, 10 years later, your jeans are number 31. Apparently, all women-who happy or not-tend to do this comparison. At least, you compare with your self in the past, which tend to be more healthy. This is more acceptable than comparing your body that had given birth to two children currently with 20-year-old model that was popular. This comparison is not realistic, and spent

Thats a human nature especially in women that they have this quality in common of comparing things with each other. Some who does this in general are because they are the are less confident and pretend to look more beautiful than others and some do it because they want to know the secret of how others maintain their looks about and apply it on self.
