Every day, I tell my two little dogs that they are the best, cutest dogs in the whole world, & their Daddy loves them very much. I tell them they are better than most people I've known, & I am proud to share my home with them.
I recently became curious about how much our beautiful ladies here were told they were beautiful, & supported by those around them. In other words, do we afford to humans the kind of affirmation many of us give to our dogs? I began writing to some of the women on our site that I consider to be the most stunning. I found it an awkward process. Only one answered forthrightly. A couple of others seemed really embarrassed to discuss it. A couple didn't answer at all. I shut it down, because I didn't want to cause pain, or to gain a reputation as a creep who asks invasive questions.
From what I was able to discover, the answer is no. We don't give humans the affirmation we give our dogs, whether it be from fear of child abuse or sexual harassment, we just don't want to go there. And women are as embarrassed to talk about it as men.
SG is a unique place, where women often get compliments for their beauty. And men have a need to give affirmation! Most of us want to do it appropriately and respectfully, because you ladies deserve to feel as special as my little dogs do, every day.
