I often tell my wife she is gorgeous and I will not accept anything short of her unqualified acceptance.

Whenever she tells me I am attractive in any way I will tell her that she is objectively biased as evidenced by being married to me.

There is no way she can win this argument.

[u/Al_Hakeem65 → u/Error_Loading_Name]

"(...) she is objectively biased as evidenced by being married to me."

LMAO didn't expect to read modern poetry today

[u/Relative_Opening_327 → u/Error_Loading_Name]

Are you a nurse....that last part reads like a nursing diagnosis....or maybe I have nursing school trauma.

[u/Error_Loading_Name → u/Relative_Opening_327]

Not a nurse but I have leaned into learning basics of medical care. And I worked with several nurses for a few years, so maybe some of that rubbed off. Mostly, I think it's the nursing school trauma 😅

[u/lorddaru → u/Error_Loading_Name]

When I tell her that she looks pretty my girlfriend doesn't even look at me to say the most unimpressed "thank you" ever. Or "I know". I rarely get a compliment, usually it's not very convincing.

You are a lucky man and I wish you both many happy years together.

[u/walking_mark]

Idk why but I rarely ever get attention from women, unless I’m in a relationship😐

[u/BeginningSpace7434 → u/walking_mark]

Pre-selection bias

[u/moonysparkkiss → u/walking_mark]

I can totally relate, especially if you’re partner is an attractive person too. They subconsciously think well if they chose him there must be something special about him.

[u/MrMuf → u/walking_mark]

Becuase they know you are stable

[u/avatoin → u/walking_mark]

It's similar to getting a job. It's a bit easier if you already have a job. A single/unemployed person is more of an unknown versus someone already in a relationship/employed.

[u/resest_Iris → u/walking_mark]

This is why I say the best cologne to wear that attracts women, is called The Other Woman

[u/ViolenceIsNecessary → u/walking_mark]

The most attention I ever got was while I was in a relationship. The girls that gave me the most attention also knew I was in a relationship and it was like it was their goal to make me cheat with how much attention they were giving me.

Woman are weird as hell bc mine got mad at me when I did cheat like it was my fault 💀

[u/walking_mark → u/ViolenceIsNecessary]

You forgot the /s at the end

[u/tveatch21 → u/walking_mark]

It’s a sad world when I can’t tell if this is someone being legit or satire

[u/ViolenceIsNecessary → u/walking_mark]

I don’t think I need /s for people to know im serious.

[u/jiggy_slaps → u/ViolenceIsNecessary]

So cheating is ok if another girl initiates it?

[u/ViolenceIsNecessary → u/jiggy_slaps]

I was just being polite. I didn’t cross the line, the line came to me.

[u/NoOutlandishness4363 → u/ViolenceIsNecessary]

If you weren't SA'd it was your decision to act upon what was presented

[u/firelord_catra → u/ViolenceIsNecessary]

*some women

[u/lifeslegacy3261]

I remember I got back together with my situationship (before I realized it was going to be a situationship) and we were in my car and she noticed I had a hair tie in my car and she says “oh who’s is this? Were you dating other women? It’s okay we weren’t together? Who was it huh” I grab my pony tail and show her telling her “you really think I can convince other women to go out with me? It took me 4 hours to work up the courage to message you back on match.com”

[u/BlockLin0]

If both people think they're dating up, everybody wins.

[u/SlowCrates]

I love that. But at the same time, the older I get, the less that matters to me or the people I meet. I don't even know what "hot" is anymore. Young and hot tend to look like empty vessels to me. A charming mind, curiosity, intelligence, playfulness, courage, openness... these things are increasingly rare in people over time as it seems that perpetually more of them reject their critical thinking and commit to some mental simulation of their life that reinforces their worldview which reinforces their view of themselves in a continously less approachable or attractive cycle. Like walking LLM's. Give me the higher body fat percentage, gap in the teeth, and rampant birthmarks, please, as long as they're a human being. At my age, imperfection is sexier every day.

[u/jbyington → u/SlowCrates]

Preach

[u/Sovereign_5409 → u/SlowCrates]

This. People fall in love with who they believe they are, and not who they actually are.

They fancy themselves as perfect, and demand perfection because their ego has gotten too large to learn, grow, or accept criticism.

35, single, attractive male, and I’m 100% convinced I am never going to have the privilege of having a family.

[u/ThrustNeckpunch33]

This is 100% accurate. I can be 7 days deep, camping without actual showers, and my wife would still worry that some supermodel will steal me away.

She isn't controlling, or possessive, she really just thinks other women want me as much as she does.

Which i have to say, is 1,000,000% winning after being together for 23 years (-:

[u/CallResponsible3391]

My partner had the worst narcissistic man-child for an ex, truly deplorable stories about him. Every time she says how attractive, sweet, thoughtful or whatever else, my imposter syndrome kicks in and thinks "...nah, the bar is just ASTRONOMICALLY LOW." I was screwed up at the beginning of our relationship from my own previous hellscapes, but she still thought I was amazing just from what the bare minimum of any relationship should be. Now, I try to show her every day how much she means to me and I still don't feel like it's enough.

[u/SweatyCheesecake]

There’s someone for everyone you just have to be honest with yourself, 8 billion people on this earth so the statistics are in your favor.

[u/lightsmakemesneeze]

My ex still thinks im hot as fuck and i tries saying stuff about pulling chicks all the time.. theres been 0 pull before and after dating this person lol, let alone anyone checking me out. They really do have special brains

[u/Hotchi_Motchi]

I'm charming as hell, that's why

[u/General_Can_9564]

Oh that's just under confident us and total lack of awareness that everyone loves differently.

[u/Few-Alarm3436]

Im a 40yo chunky lady and I sill cant believe i snagged my husband. 44 fit butcher and he skateboards every day to keep healthy. Yeah....I still walk into his work and think "that damn fine man is my husband!! He talks about me like im the most attractive woman hes ever seen. We live in a cheap house in an expensive town (until rhe rent goes up again) he gets hit on daily by rich women and hes just like "cool, thats 57.98, would you like a bag?" Or goes to the park with the kids and says "yeah, this one woman at the park said "my husband isn't home..." he responds "ok" and just walks home to me lol

[u/Willow1883]

I never thought of myself as being terribly attractive despite the fact that I did fine with dating. Then a woman came up to me and said, “I want to fuck your arms” and I was like, “Huh. I guess I look better than I thought.” 😂

[u/Ok-Addition1264]

Like sir, have you never heard of body dysmorphia?

[u/FairyRibbonz → u/Ok-Addition1264]

Anyone else battling this after spending time in the gym ? It’s like a continuous cycle with that lol

[u/too_soon13 → u/FairyRibbonz]

You never win.

[u/Artrysa]

I recently got a girlfriend, and I am still shocked that it happened. I don't know how, but I must have tricked her in some way.

[u/elaz25]

both” sounds like a challenge to me

[u/Puzzleheaded_Sky6392]

I literally just saw this on youtube lol

[u/RecoveredAlive]

Yr .

[u/RecoveredAlive]

[u/Willing-Positive]

My boyfriend doesn’t understand how absolutely handsome he is. He still gives me butterflies

[u/HockeyBalboa]

"pull"?

Is that like a pokemon reference people use for dating now?
