I'm sure you've always wondered how your girlfriend, being as beautiful as she is, would never fully believe you when you tell her how beautiful she looks. Dove (the skincare company) conducted a social experiment to look into female body image and the results are fascinating (if you've been on youtube recently, you may have already seen or skipped the video).
If you only have a few minutes then there's a shorter version of the video...
But if you have a bit longer (6.30) then I'd really suggest that you watch the longer version (or even both!).
The experiment looked at how women perceive themselves and how others perceive them and the results found that women were much more critical of their looks and described them very differently to how others described them.
You may never understand why your girlfriend doesn't believe you when you tell her that she looks beautiful, but please don't ever stop telling her. We seem to be programmed not to see the true image in the mirror and that bleeds into our everyday life. That means that when we say that we aren't looking good, we truly think that we don't look good and we really do appreciate all of your work in reminding us how beautiful we are! Thank you, we love you!
