(894 posts)someone beautiful, but it's annoying when someone decides to give you their opinion of your face, esp when there's way more to us. Keep the beauty comments to yourself type of thing. and we certainly don't need a day for it. It's can be very intrusive, at times it can even be very demeaning when we're in a society where it's bad enough we're constantly judged by our looks, and fwiw, in many instances it's not as flattering as you might think.
i get the point of the day, that we're judged, that we have the super high standards we're judged by (must be skinny, must be this that and the next thing) but the whole point of that problem is that we *shouldn't* be constantly judged, so "tell women they're beautiful" is essentially doing just that.
we do like compliments, of course we want to be pretty but the concept of the day is just a little off.
Actually, tell 'someone' they're beautiful would probably be much better. That might sound like a subtle nuance, but that is more about letting someone know they're beautiful as opposed to validate a woman's looks.
