Are there women that actually like their bodies being praised?

There are literally subreddits dedicated to this

Traditional_Lab1192 · 2025-10-09T15:41:04+00:00

Yeah I love it, as long as it’s respectful lol

I love it when my partner admires my body. I am fine with men admiring my body when I am intentionally dressing to look sexy (which is something I rarely do). I don't like it when men admire my body when I have done absolutely nothing to invite that attention (which happens far more often than I like). I am never okay with strangers touching my body without permission or making vulgar comments to me.

Strange men even looking at me slightly in a sexual manner immediately sends me into fight or flight mode. I have huge boobs and have been groped and harassed by adults since I was 11 years old. If it's someone I'm in a relationship with, that's appreciated and completely different. From strangers, absolutely NOT.

I have a pretty good body. No big butt or breats, but overall proportions are very desirable for a lot of qomen and I know that.

Gotta admit, it's a bit of a brag. But maybe because I've never been looked at like a puece of meat. At least I never felt that.

In general people want to be praised and appreciated by the people from whom they want said praise and appreciation. Random strangers leering at their bodies is rarely enjoyed.

Ariel winter had her surgery done in 2015. She was born in 1998. I’ll let you do the math on how old that means she was by the time she became fed up with how people “only noticed her breasts”

In regard to breast reductions, I don’t think you’re accounting for the physical pain, early adultification, and general specialization. If a woman wants to be taken seriously and the size of her boobs prevents that, any attention doesn’t outweigh that negative effect. The women who like their body being admired are the ones who become models and porn stars. Some women may be okay with admiration as long as it’s not verbalized but at the end of the day, it’s probably a good idea to assume that a woman is not going to be happy about you gooning over her.

I like it from my husband. That's it. A man's opinion of my body (or anything, really) is worthless to me if I'm not dating him.

Flightlessbirbz · 2025-10-09T17:40:51+00:00

Most women want their partner to admire their body and also enjoy compliments from women, but having strange men stare and comment can be unsettling because you feel vulnerable.

Now, there’s a difference between looking and staring. Humans like to look at attractive people and that’s okay, as a bi woman, if a woman has nice boobs or butt I’m going to notice, even most straight women will look. But I also am highly conscious of the fact that staring is rude and can make people feel uncomfortable, so I won’t do that.

Last but not least, very few women want to feel like a walking set of boobs or butt even if they like to have their bodies admired. There’s a big difference between how the media treats actresses with “ideal” bodies vs those with “large assets,” which sucks but makes it totally unsurprising why someone like Ariel would feel the need to have surgery.

If someone I know compliments those features, it’s great, if they are respectful about it. Inappropriately staring or strangers making comments I don’t like.

Confident_Counter471 · 2025-10-09T15:59:21+00:00

I love when my husband admires my body and tells me how much he loves it. And boy does he….but it seems obvious some women love the attention, why else would they do porn or only fans? You make some money but most women in porn and on onlyfans don’t make much.

Not me I love my double Ds yeah it can be a little annoying when you want to make a point and he's just staring at your cleavage. But there are way more positive s to negative s to having a body men like in my experience.

stockingsinrainboots · 2025-10-09T16:38:34+00:00

I like attention from whoever I'm dating and from women.

I don't have big boobs but I'm very satisfied with my stomach, waist, leg and butt areas lol

I like to show off my midriff, my bf also likes it when I dress that way. I like to look good.

Maybe it's different for big boobs specifically lol

iamsojellyofu · 2025-10-09T18:48:33+00:00

A lot of Latinas are like that.

Source: I am Latina. I do not have much to show off, though.

Werevulvi · 2025-10-09T21:19:16+00:00

I've always had a big butt, regardless of what weight I've been, and I've no issue with other people liking that, or men finding it attractive. I don't go out of my way to show it off, like I don't wear leggings as pants, or mini skirts, booty shorts, or those kinda leggings that go up in the butt crack. I keep it covered like normally, but I also don't try to hide its size. I wear whatever pants and skirts I want.

I know my butt always looks kinda sexual in pretty much anything I wear, because it just stands out a lot, but like I don't care and I don't get why I should take extra measures to make it look less big or less round or whatever. I'm just all around very comfortable with how it looks. I think it has a nice shape. It's one of few good feminine genetics I have, so I'm gonna be proud of it. And I think because I have a good relationship with my butt, I quite want for other people to like it too. That makes me feel appreciated in some way.

Of course I don't enjoy having just random lewd comments thrown at me though. But this just doesn't happen often anyway. People aren't so vulgar irl in my area, and I rarely ever post pics of myself online. I notice sometimes people look, and sex partners often compliment it though, and that's what I'm totally fine with. I get that it's not fun when people pay attention to things you don't like about yourself though.

ThatBitchA · 2025-10-09T17:46:08+00:00

I love attention from my partner.

I don't want my body being praised by strangers or unknown men or men who I'm not already in a relationship with.

When I was single, I rejected men whose first words to me were about my body.
