Contrary to popular belief we don't want to be lied to either. When a woman asks you if she "looks fat in this", "is my makeup alright", "did you enjoy dinner"; she already knows every single flaw and she's waiting for you to confirm her worst fears, at the same time hoping against hope that you see something she can't. Fundamentally we know what we are supposed to be. Woman are the fairer sex, the domestic goddess, we bring forth new life, we are our husband's greatest help.
You would do well to study the woman in your life. Do you know how glorious a flower in bloom is? The beauty, the fragrance, the pleasure, a work of art.
Art has always been subjective. One may see something magnificent while another may view the same piece and not see anything of value. At a first glance maybe. But when we begin to study it's creator, his point of view, his purpose; we develop a new appreciation.
I get it, "do I look fat in this" becomes a terribly loaded question and it's up to you to know the answer. It's a sort of ultimatum saying, "I will become everything you need if you can tell me what God saw when he made me the way I am." May I suggest that if she was already blooming she wouldn't have to ask.
"You're just too complicated" answers another question, "Am I worth fighting for?" You could do it because it's right and you could do it for yourself. A woman in bloom is worth fighting for, I guarantee it.
Am I lovely?
Am I worth fighting for?
Do you see me?
Father's of daughters have the same responsibility to help their daughter's bloom. If you do not answer these questions for them, they will search for someone to answer the questions. And by search I mean, they will give almost anything.
If you know the creator you will see the masterpiece. It's not as complicated as you think. He will show you everything you need to see.
