Why women care about their looks? How much do they matter etc?

Question

I had many realizations before but this is nothing new, not the first time, but decided to spit it out.

Anyways why do women care about their looks? Like they care a bit too much at times, which has it's upsides. I can probably imagine the social pressure to look great, have no flaws, smell and look nice & be presentable at all times also act feminine. All that 24/7 is just exhausting to say the least, its very harsh, not sure about mental health since that might be torturous.

My opinion is that women care about their looks due to the fact that society is at major play and then it's rooted in biology, cause women used to put water in their hair since the dawn of time.

They always cared about their looks and tried doing everything to look better, so to speak.

I see that everyday, literally a guy isn't even bothered to "try" shaving his beard, he just let the ingrown hairs then the pants the shirt combo like the color doesn't match, there is simply put no style at all, horrendous.

The hairstyle is always cut short, I mean it could work in theory, but each to their own anatomy, one can rock a shorter hairstyle other possible can't, cause it would be a death sentence, just imagine every woman bald or very cut hair, it would be terrible it wouldn't be "exotic"

I'm not judging it's just how world works, what I'm trying to say is that women can look better due to the fact that they simply have longer, more luscious hair, better hairstyles/hairlines not even by average, just biology, yes outliers exist, but come on, makeup the hair, they look good all the time.

I'm going a bit off topic, but I wanted to ask like how much do women's looks matter when it comes to any social interaction. I can probably imagine the envy women get, the praise and compliments they get when they do try. I guess it must be awesome to a woman at times, but seriously I heard it that even women themselves treat other women better if of course they look "better" so to speak.

So yeah, that's about it, crazy to think us guys aren't on the same social pressure as gals, but it is what it is.

Oh forgot to ask, how true that women have to actually fake their own voice and be "pleasant" to be more likable? Very interesting phenomena.

Answer

It depends on who you're talking to. As a woman, I can relate to the idea that "the more you try, the more praise you get." But still, personally for me, looks don't matter as much as charisma and overall social skills do.

It might sound like I'm pushing a narrative about the unimportance of looks, which I'm not. People will judge you for your appearance, especially if you are a woman. In that sense, I absolutely feel that social pressure. However, in day-to-day life, it isn't always the primary factor.

I can't speak for everyone, but I believe the importance of a woman's looks varies from person to person. For the most part, I've only had positive interactions; at least, I can't remember a time when I was judged negatively for my looks. (I don't consider myself a particularly pretty person—I just think I have a strong personality that, in my opinion, is better than my looks!)

So, long story short, the importance will vary from individual to individual, but the social pressure is very real.

Regarding voice, it's the same thing: it depends. Women might make their voices sound more girly or feminine on purpose, just as some men might try to sound deeper. We are all under social pressure to look and sound our best, especially with social media as a constant reminder of our imperfections.
