why is it many women need constant reasurance?

Maybe the reason that some people need reassurance in a relationship more than others is that they had one really bad relationship that scarred them for life. Maybe their previous partner was always belittling them by telling them they needed to lose weight, or by always leering at other people, or criticizing every detail about them. These issues can reaally play with a person's self esteem.

they r eternally confused,never know wht they r looking for.if u pass compliment,thr malfunctioning intuitive inner starts sending red alert...and if u just ignore they crave for ur attention.tht is kinda funny,but gives the whole package a touch of mystery...and keeps all the Sherlock holmes( guyz) busy in getting to the bottom of tht non existent mystery.so u c all of us are moving round and round ...like the earth

I think part of it is a matter of control, they feel if the guy thinks they are beautiful they have him "under their spell" so they are just asking to sort of test the water and see what their level of control over the guy is so they know how they can exploit it.

Because they are evil, and are ready to say you at your first sign of "un-obedience" *BUT YOU TOLD that you love me!*. They are just manipulative, nothing else. It's like your words will create for her a permanent tool for coercition and black-mail. It is like she tells you "as time as YOU told me that YOU love me, that means that YOU are the one that must make me happy and forgive any of my sins, NOT ME MAKING YOU HAPPY, dear stupid boy !! ... " In your relationship there will be no place for your happiness, just for HER and her FREEDOM. Welcome, dear slave of a woman ! :)

Let me just say that not all women are like that. I do somewhat care about how I look but I don't need anyone to tell me I look good or compliment me. I think the women who need the constant reasurance are unsure of themselves and of the relationship. They need to hear compliments to be reasurred that they sill have ahold of the man in the relationship. Many women are afraid of the leaving, and compliments reasure the relationship. Confusing I am sure.

Conformation and verification for the non existing aspects ..... Haha but this shows their love...(on their beauty)

I don't know and sad to say I am guilty of this. I don't know what it is, that I need that reassurance from a man. It's like I feel like the information he gave me before is outdated. I hope that someone have a good answer to this because I think I have a problem with this in relationships.
