Personally, I believe this answer lies in many different levels. A woman's level of fakeness depends on her level of self-esteem. If she is completely confident in herself, then she probably won't act fake, she'll just be her wonderful self. Unfortunately, the majority of women don't have much self confidence. At least the women that I know and observe. They view other women as competition and feel the need to put on airs so that their flaws will not be revealed.
One of my favorite things to do when I go out is people watch. Strange, yes, but I love to do it. When out at the bar or club, I see this constantly in women. They look you up and down, see if there are things they like better about you than they like about themselves. I find it amusing when another woman gives me a dirty look in the bathroom, or as I walk past like I'm trying to out do her. Trust me, I'm not. I'm married and looking to stay that way. However, I'm still seen as competition. I don't let it anger me, though. I just know that woman needs to work on her own self-esteem.
So why do so many women not feel confident in themselves? It couldn't be that men never fail to look at a passing by bootie, or drool over the gorgeous and super skinny actresses on television. We know that you are going to look, don't get me wrong, but you also have to make sure to follow that up with some type of confirmation for us. Ok, look at the bootie, then turn around and grab ours and give us a kiss. That lets us know that yes, that one was nice, but yours is great, too. Also, as I have said before, don't forget to compliment us! It really is these little things that we keep in mind. When you tell us how you love us in that orange dress, or how sexy I look with my hair down, it lets us know that you notice us, too.
Granted, I am guilty of the fake niceness when I meet a woman I don't really care for. Usually this is because she is the new girlfriend of one of my husband's friends. I don't want to make her or him feel uncomfortable. However, I generally try to just eliminate myself from conversation so that I don't have to pretend to like her. Men do this, too. Ever pretend to like a family member? Sure you have. Men just tend to label it differently in those situations.
Unfortunately guys, there really isn't anything much you can do to make us feel good about ourselves. The compliments will help, yes, but ultimately you are the only one that can make you feel good about yourself. So women, stop comparing yourself to others and trying to live up to Hollywood standards. Your man chose you for a reason. And if you don't have a man, maybe you would get one easier if he saw how amazing you thought you were. Seriously, how can anyone else think you deserve the best if you don't even believe it?
