why does every dad in the world always tell his daughter that she is pretty even though she is not?

Statistics show that teen girls with low self esteem and girls who don't get affection from their fathers are more likely to "turn to risky sexual behavior to cope with their feelings it creates many of what we consider our society's ills: teen pregnancy, abortion, sexually transmitted disease, and the breakdown of traditional marriage and family" (http://depression.about.com/cs/teenchild/a/teensex.htm). According to one study, girls with high self esteem "were three times more likely to remain virgins than girls with low self-esteem" (http://www.altpenis.com/penis_news/20020401200313data_trunc_sys.shtml). If a girl thinks she is important and valuable, she will be less willing to do things for attention.
As for my father, I remember only one time that he told me I was becoming a beautiful, young woman. I don't think I will ever forget it. He didn't say it until he thought it. He built my self esteem in other ways, like complimenting things I was good at, and I'm glad he did, but the compliment that stayed with me was about my looks.

M$Some 20 centuries after Euripides made this observation, fathers and daughters continue to experience a very special, relationship. It is not necessarily more important than that of father and son, but it is certainly one that requires sensitivity. The bond between father and daughter is intricate and compelling.
Without a doubt, a father's influence on his daughter's life is powerful. He is the man who will mold her personal values and set the standard of expectations for the other men who will cross her path--the boyfriends, professionals, co-workers, friends, and husbands. And he is the man to whom she can go for comfort, advice and love.

M$Watch The Human Body and Human Instinct by Robert Winston (BBC series) - he explains the natural formative bond between parent and child very well.
