Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder: Your other half's not as attractive as you think

Either this clown is wrong or there are a lot of people lying about my wife!

Reminds me of the movie, “The Other Guys” where Will Ferrel thinks his wife is the old lady, and his partner can’t believe she is attracted to him :>)

Sorry. I married the exact opposite of my mother in every way except both were physical beauties when young....my 65 yr. old wife has the figure of a teen (size 4 after 8 kids), while my mother has packed on the lbs. as she’s aged. I love my mother - but I don’t like her....selfish, self-centered, oblivious to needs of others, spoiled, stingy.

And I’m the polar opposite of my wife’s dad as well.

Yup.

Mine is hairy, scary and ~nowhere~ near a ‘pretty boy’ [had one of those once...turned out to be worthless wife beater] but I wouldn’t trade my man for a hundred Tom Sellecks.

I look at him and see a darkly beautiful guardian angel.

Tonight in WalMart, some jackass asked hubby if I was his daughter.

If I’d heard it happening, [before “dad” took care of him] I’d have gut-hooked that maggot right there, much as I ripped the creep at a biker party who made a “Beauty & The Beast” crack, years ago.

[as if that fat wimpy slob had any room to talk..or a snowball’s chance in Hell]

For all that he’s not “pretty”, even after all these years I have to be watchful for the women who are charmed by his incredible “presence”.

“Looks” ain’t squat.

Pure animal magnetism trumps that, for square.

18 years later and I still go weak in the knees.

[even though I’m notoriously impossible to impress]

:)

Maybe they simply know better than to criticize their spouse.

Well after over fifty years of marriage to the same great gal, I have no disillusions as to how she now looks. But, I also know I have no disillusions about myself either.

She is still the love of my life and apple of my eye and hope I am of hers.

Even as a young woman/teenager I was never attracted to a pretty face. Good looks are a dime a dozen.

When I first met my husband I thought he was a neanderthal and an idiot. I had no interest in him. He swore way too much.

We were in the same group and I finally had the opportunity to get to know him. Very quickly, I realized that I’d misjudged him and began to see him for the wonderful person that he is. Once I saw the inner beauty, I allowed myself to be swayed by the exterior and, to me, he truly is the most attractive man that I know.

But when I look at him, I don’t see the wrinkles. I see the man who sat by my bedside, unmoving, for 18 hours straight after I had surgery. I see the wonderful father. I see the humble strength of a man who never brags, but simply gives 100% to everything that he does.

Today is our 21st anniversary and I am so grateful to be married to this beautiful man. Yes, in my eyes, he’s an eleven! :-)

A woman glows when she know she is truly and honestly loved!

(Celebrating 21 years with my deliciously ‘hairy beast’ today... I do so love a furry guy! lol!)

I wish you many more happy years together!
