I see this very frequently. An unattractive, sometimes even extremely unattractive, woman posts on social media and the comment section is just filled with other women talking about how she looks unique and beautiful. I just want to understand the rationale behind this. Especially because in many of these circumstances it seems borderline harmful, how is that same woman going to react when she gets a harsh ego check in real life? I understand not saying mean things as that is just cruel, but it seems like in many cases people take things to an opposite extreme that can be just as hurtful. It’s just puzzling is all and I would like it if someone could provide some insight into this.

Edit: To clarify, I do not mean slightly unattractive women. I’m specifically referring to women who are obese/very unattractive.
