Is it true that the more pretty the girl is, the more her bf will keep her self

Question:Is this what manipulative guys do?

I heard that the prettier a girl is, the more the guy will keep her self esteem low so that she won't cheat or so that she'll think she 's unworthy of anyone else but him.

It is definitely true of many guys.

And yes, this is exactly the kind of manipulation insecure persons indulge in.

If you are with such a person my sincere advice will be to get out of it pronto before he breaks your spirit. Mind you that happens! You do not NEED such losers in your life. Better be alone than in a relationship that kills your persona. Believe me there are some genuine persons too out there who would love you truly & help your personality bloom....

Only if he's insecure.

This is generally what manipulative guys tend to do. I would recommend the girl leave him since he is a piece of garbage to do something like that.

I guess that women used to be considered dumb enough to be manipulated like that, and that belief sounds like it was my grandmothers generation when women were not encouraged to get higher education and the wars were going on.

I believe that the best shaper of a womans opinion of herself is her own father, or the male members in her family such as brothers, male cousins , uncles etc.

If they made sure she has a realistic concept of herself, then no man will succeed in playing around with her self esteem.

She will be strong enough or too weak to stand on her own two feet . Daughters of strong father figures grow up as strong as her dad taught her to be.

This is true..some people do this

Why is this in the philosophy section?

This is happening to me for the "second" time. The first time it took me seven years to even look into a mirror and see the real me. Now I make the mistake of giving up my business my life, everything for this man would said he loved me so much and didn't want me to do anything but be here for him. After I did all of this he has called me horrible names, abusive names and has physically abused me. He can't stand it when we go out and men look at me, he call me a whore and if I make eye contact with a man or smile he grabs my arm so badly I have bruises.

i suppose some ppl do that.
ppl do some weird shi.t

A pretty girl doesn't need high self esteem to know she is worthy of others. Some guys may try this but I doubt it would ever work. I do know, however, that pretty girls seem to like being treated like crap, or at least, are attracted to guys that treat the like crap.
