Let me just say that this is a great topic, and one that should be addressed more often. You don't know how sick I am of seeing models and hearing guys talk about models. They are so brainwashed into what a woman should be.
How do you see yourself in the mirror when you look into it?
Usually crap. I've been trying to think more positive though. I don't agonize over every blemish or imprefection but just try to tell myself that I'm cute and a good person. It just brings me down afterwards when I go out into the world and just don't get the same attention a more attractive woman may receive. No looks, boyfriends, date, whatever.
Why do you think the bar is set so incredibly high for women?
I concur. The MEDIA. I can't even turn on Much Music/MTV anymore, I'm so disgusted.
And can women really live up to this?
I'm sure some could if they really wanted to go insane.. but I don't think we should even try. Just be your own person. Don't want to wear makeup, then don't wear makeup. Most men don't 'enhance themselves' (As far as I know).
Is anyone here actually living up to this image of the in control and perfectly styled professional women?
I'm not raising my hand for this one. And I don't know anybody that is. More reason to believe that this whole 'image' is fake. I'll wear clean clothes and take care in the colors I choose to wear, but there's no way I'm trying to be perfect. It's just too unattainable.
How many of you are generally happy with the way you are present yourself phsyically, professionally?
Technically with everything I've said above, I guess you'd expect a yes, but sadly it's a no.. And I guess that's because I have low self esteem and don't have really any friends because of that. I'm also not where I'd like to be professionally. I just hope one day things work out.
