[quote=Anonymous]Tell her she is pretty. Often, but not constantly. Unfortunately, we still live in a world where a woman's worth is largely weighed by her physical appearance. My mom was of the Hippie generation (she wasn't one - but had some of their ideals). My parents thought that women should not be valued by their looks (a nice ideal, but not the reality of our society). They seldom told me I was pretty or similar things. As a result, I am well into middle age and don't believe people who compliment me on my looks - it makes me uncomfortable. I also don't look at myself as pretty - but objectively, looking at old pictures, I don't think that is accurate. [/quote]
