6 small ways a man makes his girlfriend feel ugly without saying a thing

Okay, let’s face it- A lot of men (no matter how much they love you) can end up being completely ignorant of the way they make you feel at times. It’s not that they want to hurt you on purpose. It’s just that they don’t realize why or how some of the things they say are absolutely wrong and hurtful.

A common example of this is how a lot of men might believe that their wife is the most gorgeous woman alive, but there are a few common things they’ll do that will leave the woman they love feeling unattractive and unloved. I’m not writing this article to shame or criticize any men, but just to let them know of these actions that they should probably avoid:

1. Failing to compliment your partner’s efforts

You are the one person on this planet whose opinion matters the most to her. She looks forward to hearing it and she actually values everything you have to say. It doesn’t matter what the world has to say about her but she needs to know how you think she’s beautiful in the times when she makes an effort and dresses up and even on the days when she stays in bed all day, with her pajamas and no makeup. If you don’t clearly let her know about how stunning she is to you, she’ll probably interpret this silence as disapproval.

2. Praising another girl with the kind of words you’ve never used for your partner

If you refer to another girl as drop dead gorgeous, and you’ve never actually used such powerful words to describe your own girl, it will be devastating for her to hear. She knows that you will find other girls attractive, and she’s actually okay with that (most of the time at least).
But if you compliment another girl like this, your partner will start to feel like you’re comparing her to that girl and that she’s not living up to your standards. While your compliments might not mean anything to you, but they will feel like a knife to your partner’s heart.

3. Looking at graphic content

If your girl finds you looking at graphic content all the time, she will be left feeling like she’s inadequate for you. In one study by ‘Fight the New Drug’, it was observed that after men had been exposed to graphic content, they rated themselves as being less in love with their partner. They were also found to be more critical of their partner’s appearance, displays of affection, and sexual abilities. There is never room for this in a relationship.
If you keep watching that stuff, your partner will take this as a sign of not being good enough for you. And with time, if you still continue, you might even start to believe that about her as well.

4. Never initiating a kiss or even a hug

When you’ve been with someone long enough, some men stop showing any physical affection unless they wish to have some intimate moments in the bedroom. This kind of behavior will make your partner feel undesirable and maybe even used.
Try something out- Kiss your partner on the forehead unexpectedly and just tell her that you love her. Once you do this without any expectation of sex afterwards, she will start to feel adored and beautiful.

5. Doing a double take as another girl passes by

Okay, everyone is allowed to notice appreciate beauty. We’re all human after all. But just try not to start gawking. The reasons for this are the same as when you compliment another girl. It leaves your partner extremely hurt when you just can’t stop yourself from checking out every single girl who walks by. And even if she doesn’t say anything about this, she always notices.

6. Staring at your phone while she talks to you

Learn to maintain eye contact when your girl is talking to you. This sounds pretty simple, but you’ll be surprised how difficult it can be for some people. If you keep looking at your phone while she’s talking to you, she can’t help but wonder whether you’re bored or if there’s something wrong with her or if there’s some place else you’d rather be. Help her feel loved and beautiful by giving her priority over your Snapchat stories and your Facebook newsfeed.
