Gender differences on how high they rate their looks is related to their level of self-love
Continuous & Ordinal
Females: Cross Males: Dots
Continuous & Ordinal
Women's insecurity based on their appearance affects the way she sees herself. She may feel as though she is worthless, even to extreme degrees. She will think that nothing about herself is appealing, only useless
The correlation based on both of the ratings (looks & self-love) for the males are weakly positive
Why women feel bad about themselves?
Key reason for this is that their appearance is central to how they are evaluated by others especially men
Shoona, realised that she wasn’t pretty when she started school.
May not have been endowed with good looks, but at least she is not stupid
She won’t have to go through the agony of losing her looks because they were never there in the first place.
One of the first jobs she got, straight out of journalism college, was as PA to Bob Wheaton, the editor of BBC Breakfast News and, at the time, Jill Dando’s partner. (a very good job that a lot of people is competing for)
Never had to suffer the indignity of being dismissed as ‘just a pretty face’.
People usually take her seriously and assume a level of intelligence
She thinks she is ugly and accepted it. She still loves herself for her achievements.
There is no correlation for the females
Women’s physical appearance is more important for their dating success than men
Women’s insecurity about their appearance is driven by competition with other women
