Do Women Like To Be Told They're Beautiful?

Not from creeper men.

From my boyfriend who loves me, yes. It doesn't mean much from others.

“Women” is not a monolithic entity. Different people like different things. I also find the age restriction of 15-55 weird. 15 year olds are teenagers, not women. And it’s ageist and gross to suggest that older women aren’t beautiful.

I am over 40 but actually had two men politely tell me in the last year when walking by that I am so beautiful. It is flattering but I don't seek it out.

My husband? He can tell me.

+1. I don’t need to know whether you find me attractive if I don’t even know you!

Have you ever been in a situation where men remarking on your attractiveness was unwanted or even threatening?

Yes, ALL women love to be told how beautiful they are…

But only by those they love most especially.
Not random men or people w/an agenda! 😠

And my personal opinion is that especially women over the age of 55+ love being told this because after 55+, many women may feel as if they are invisible or just not attractive anymore.

(Unless they are J Lo who will be 55 this summer and looks 100000x better than she did at 25!)

I agree.

Look at women who are close to fifty-five that are still very beautiful now.

Jennifer Lopez tops the list but also look at Mariah Carey, Gwen Stefani and shoot even Martha Stewart is still posting thirst traps in her 80’s!

Most women want to hear it, but they only want to hear it from men they find attractive. 😆

JLo looks older than 55.
She looks 70 to me. :/

I'm good with "Hi, Beautiful," with an affectionate kiss or nudge, but looking deeply into my eyes and saying "You are so beautiful" would be too much. And minus points if they say it all the time like that guy in Love is Blind Sweden.

Not with these two men who spoke to me politely in a way that was not flirtatious, but when I was in my 20s living in a more dangerous city, it occasionally would happen when I was walking by myself and men would catcall or whistle, and I would just ignore - didn't feel unsafe but I didn't want their attention. Actually now that I recall, there was a time I got off the subway, and a man asked me, "Can I tuck you in?" It was very creepy, and I made sure to walk quickly in the other direction.

And the inverse of this: my husband NEVER tells me I am beautiful and it is a major underlying issue in our marriage. I know he loves me and I know he wants to have sex with me but he says it’s “not him” to be effusive with praise. Which is somewhat true.But I still would like a natural and casual “oh you look nice” or “ you are so beautiful” once in a while.

No. I'm just trying to live my life. I don't want unsolicited assessments of my looks, good or bad.

Also, honestly? It's so unoriginal. Notice something else.
