    Looking objectively, I'd say my boyfriend is "not half bad" to look at. To me though, he's amazing. And he has a lovely body :p

    ...or not???

    How do you feel about your OHs looks? Is he/she the most good looking/gorgeous person you've ever clapped eyes on? Or do you only think 'wow' when they dress up for a night out?

    And how does your OH make you feel about yourself and your looks? Do they make you feel like you're one in a million? Or you're a 'Plain Jane/John' who wouldn't stand out in a crowd?

    I do realise that looks aren't everything and you should never judge a book by it's cover, but I'm curious as to how others think!!

    :)

    Objectively, my Hubby is average looking.

    To me, he is sexy as hell! I love his strong arms and little chubby belly.

    My OH isn't much to look at. He's a tiny bit shorter than 'average', and is stocky and broad (though not fat). Facially average. By no means ugly, but just nondescript. He's 40 (and looks it), whereas I'm late 20s, but look teenaged. Walking down the street, we look like father and daughter!

    But he's very attractive to me. Thinking objectively, though, he's by no means the most attractive man on earth :)

    My ex-OH was absolutely drop dead gorgeous (I'm distinctly average, so that's one of life's mysteries!), but was duller than dishwater. Oh, and unbelievably immature. It was the immaturity that put the lid on our relationship, moreso than his dullness.

    My OH to me is beautiful, stunning, breath- takingly handsome, inside and out but objectively he is grey haired, average looking man that would not head turn in the street but to me he has the most gorgeous eyes, lovely smile, makes me laugh, feel secure.

    He compliments me all the time and I do to him, I mean it and he does to:D

    In my opinion, Mrs G isn't too shabby.

    I love my partner's looks. He's a true beaut!

    When I first met him I could not believe how amazing his eyes were and his smile although in general he is a very handsome fella (I think he looks like Colin Farrell because he has dark hair and big eyebrows!). He doesn't believe it though..never has which I can't fathom but think it's because he carried a bit of extra weight for a while during our relationship. He lost that though and I remember my neighbour saying he was so gorgeous and to watch out as he might run off! Made me feel good I have to say!!!

    I don't even know what I look like. In my head it's not pretty but people say I am so I've either got a warped view or people are just being nice but my partner is so complimentary all the time I can feel horrid and suddenly be perked up by the things he says. He never just says I look good it's always something so sweet and seemingly so genuine that it makes me melt.

    Mine's tall, slim, building some lovely muscles at the moment, but not a looker by any stretch. He looks at his best when he's tanned, and really suits a suit and shirt. Tight t-shirts are good too.

    He tells me I'm beautiful/gorgeous/sexy etc. etc. etc. all the time (ALL the time) and I can't bend over to pick something up without him making a move, so I can safely say he still finds me attractive. His pals are constantly asking how he managed to snare me, and he tells them he's amazing in bed :-D

    This sounds terrible but I've never been physically attracted to my OH. I guess I got with him because he paid me loads of compliments and made me feel secure. He does still tell me occasionally (usually when I'm dressed up) he used to tell me I was beautiful all the time but then I lost my hair to anaemia caused by cancer. I asked him if he still thought I was beautiful and he just sat in silence not looking at me. As soon as my hair grew back he was full of compliments again, for that reason I no longer believe him when he says it :(

    Aww Mrs Ryan that's really sad.

    Maybe your DH just didn't know what to say for the best? A bit like asking "does my bum look big in this" sort of scenario, it doesn't mean he doesn't think you're beautiful it was probably an awkward time.

    Men can be a strange breed :D

    As I look at him asleep on the sofa after a bottle of wine and a few beers he is hot still after 26 years being married. As for me I'm hot as well. We in for a good night.
