The confusing pursuit of beautyWhen a woman asks a man how she looks, it is very difficult for him to1the right answer. Men do not think of their looks in the same way as women do. They 2an opinion and like to think of themselves as average-looking. They don’t3to their looks. However, women tend to think their appearance is “not good enough”. They would4 the smallest imperfections in their bodies.The differences between how men and women view their own looks are caused by complex 5 and societal factors. First, men and women have different childhood experiences with toys. Girls’ dolls have slim figures whose physical measurements are6for living human beings to achieve while boys’ toys are weird-looking. Second, beauty industry exerts different influences on them. Women are7that they must buy the newest beauty products and 8them carefully, whereas men are not influenced; they don’t face the societal9purely on physical beauty. Men and women also have differences in care for details in women’s appearance. Men10the details, but women spend great efforts on details of appearance only to11 themselves to criticisms by other women.Anyway, to get back to my 12point: There is no easy way for a man to answer a woman’s question of how she looks.
