Why do women ask "do I look fat/good/etc in this, does this suit me, etc" if they are dressing for themselves?
you have to understand female psychology to understand this sort of interaction.
ID mothra would have you believe that women just want men to be nice, treat them as equals, all get along and then women will be really really happy.
this is because a woman does not really understand her pyshcology.
imagine a hollywood rom-com where the guy was just really nice, they got along, they never had any misunderstandings, it was really peaceful and just nice.....
how many women would flock to see such a movie?
women like a much much bigger range of emotions then men.
Back in the day
men were out hunting together and they probably had to be very quiet and very logical and work as a team
women were back at the camp and they were like chickens in a henhouse, peck orders, bitching and gossiping, too much chatter, not much focus or direction and determined that when the men came back they were going to get the seed of the alpha male with the most meat from the hunt.
they didnt want the seed from steve who couldnt bring back any meat but was really really nice.
so women have much more emotional basis and they LIKE to feel these emotions.
rom coms are full of ups and downs and push and pull and break ups and tears and misunderstandings and drama and diva behaviour and make up sex and uncertainty and surprise because THATS WHAT WOMEN LIKE.
and its your role as a man to provide this drama whilst also (paradoxically) not being drawn into it.
so when she asks a question like this, she is really saying, i need you to spike my emotions. i need to feel the ups and the downs.
and you should spike her emotions but remain a MAN and when she gets all bitchy and emotionally uncalibrated, she wants to see that you dont get sucked in and start to relate to her like a woman. a man who starts to act like a woman is repulsive to a woman.
if she picks a little fight and you get all butt hurt or emotional or , even worse, try to supplicate and crawl to her, your status as a man drops. you are diminished.
so remain aloof and icey. she doesnt want to win, she wants to be with a winner
