She's insecure.
People who need others to evaluate them like this (and find them "acceptable") are very, very insecure about themselves. A secure person wouldn't need others to tell them how pretty they are... and they certainly wouldn't bother repeating it to others. If anything, they'd accept the compliment and then get on with life. That's my thought on it, anyway.
Insecure, seeking attention.
If you are a woman and another woman says that, I think they are feeling competitive.
If you are a man and a woman says that to you, I think they are wanting confirmation.
(Sounds like someone in high school, however, there are lots of girls in hs that would not have the need to do that.)
I would think good reply would be "Oh really? How nice for you." Then change the subject. I would not want to encourage this kind of behavior, nor would I want to be nasty to her.
I know of this girl that loves to tell people about how others think she is so pretty.
If you wanted to be mean, you could just look at her with a puzzled expression, slowly give her the once-over, and then say, "Hmmm . . . I'm sorry, I just don't see it, myself."
Agreed with others - it looks like arrogance, but it's really massive insecurity. They're trying to convince themselves as much as they're trying to convince others.
I've known people like this. I've said nothing. But secretly, I've felt bad for them.
Be confident in yourself and your own assets, and people like this won't bother you.
I know of this girl that loves to tell people about how others think she is so pretty.
For example she tells the story of how she played golf with a group of men. She said they let her win because she is so pretty.
Or she brags about how people tell her she just needs to stand there and look pretty.
First off, she ain't all that.....believe me. lol To me, even if someone is pretty, it makes them less pretty to go around and brag about it.
It's ok to be confident, but arrogance is such a turn-off.
You will find as you get older.....the more someone braggs, the less confident and the less self-esteem they have. people who are all that seldom mention it.
Well, they could brag about being good at bragging.
(I was curious what the origin of the word "brag" is...)
Mid-14th century, "braggen" “to make a loud noise, to speak boastfully” and is of unknown origin.
That's a lot of bragging going on!
