Sometimes a girl-dissatisfied with how she looks—may unwisely tease or push her boyfriend because of the tremendous pressure she feels to attain to the world's standards of attractiveness. But remember this principle-"comparing themselves among themselves" they "are not wise" (2 Cor. 10:1212For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. (2 Corinthians 10:12)).
The danger is that a sister who doesn't feel she measures up to the world's standard of beauty may feel pressed in her courtship to make herself more enticing as a matter of "self-esteem". But really, the root of that is pride. Constantly acting in unseemly ways because you are really demanding reassurances from your boyfriend that you are beautiful and alluring won't allow grass in your courtship.
