Attractive women on TV

Those news readers get me you know on itv that do the weather and that lot there always so gorgeous never plus size or slightly fat while I'm sat there with my belly over the top of my c section scar i know my partner appreciates them makes me feel crap that Il never look rhat way my body is disgusting i need surgery for everything that's wrong with me.

What shows is everyone watching where the people are so impossibly gorgeous? Especially in recent years, I have found that a lot of people on TV look quite realistic, there has been a move away from the very glossy look. Unless you're watching stuff like Love Island (and even then, the people just look very glossy and fake, rather than 'gorgeous')

Its just me and my insecurities my partner knows about what i feel.

You have said it all much better than I could. Yes to all this.

No. They're not going to step out of the screen and make him a better offer, so why would I? Worst case scenario he's looking at more beautiful women and wishing he could have them. But tbh as long as that stays in his head, he doesn't leer at women and make them uncomfortable or belittle me for my appearance, all good. No ordinary person is as physically attractive as people on TV and young gorgeous people round the pool are the exception. Most people can look at these people appreciate their beauty and it has no effect whatsoever on how attractive we find our own partners, which is an entirely different thing.

See i wouldn't do it because i don't like it done to me i know the feeling of being hurt put 2nd best..

Sorry, Magic Mike, not Magic Men.

I can''t really understand your posts @Keely199 but I am in my fifties. I don't have a flat stomach. Neither does Dh. I don't think he is settling and neither am I.

You could try gawping at attractive men too. Or taking your partners to Magic Men so they feel insecure too.

Iv seen my partner looking at the opposite to me and breaks my heart i hate myself as it is don't need my man choosing to hurt me because i don't have a flat stomach without stretchmarks men only settle for us uglier women because they can't get a skinny toned smoothed skin woman..

Because we want to match up to what they like to look at over there partners.

It doesn’t bother me in the slightest. I’m not particularly attractive and my body is awful but my fella loves me just the way I am. And I love him just the way he is. I feel utterly comfortable with him and know he would never hurt me. Likewise the other way round. I have a male best friend and he has no issues with that at all.

He doesn’t find those sort of people attractive anyway - he prefers a practical, natural and perhaps the more ‘mumsy’ type. Not supermodel type who is into her looks. The other week I said I needed to dye my hair again as grey was coming through and he commented that he liked my grey 🤷‍♀️ so I don’t think I have to fear him running off with someone with a perfect body lol.

I am shocked by how many women are obsesssed with looking attractive for their men. Men don't obsess over looking attractive for us. mostly.

I'm shocked hpz many women allow rhere partners to disrespect them id they want to look it should be privately so we don't get hurt men are just pug well 90% of them xx

Couldn't care less. I am old now but didn't care that much when I was young either. My value lies in my brain.

It's just hate it because iv lost my beauty all together since having our girls iv hot stretchmarks cellulite severe vericose veins my face is fine just not my body gym and diet wouldn't get rid of those things gets me down when i just want to be attractive enough for my man..

Doesn't bother me in the slightest. It's human nature and will admit to looking at similar men. I would almost certainly be upset if comments were being made though.

Lucky you most women's body change for the worse especially during pregnancy you cant fix stretchmarks and cellulite men should love there partner enough to not be openly looking elsewhere i hate my partner looking Il admit my body isn't the same iv got big blue bumpy veins starting from my feet right up to my groin area cellulite on my ass and thighs and stretch marks on my stomach sides and boobs that aren't perky they hang down :(
So yeah i do feel bad if my partners looking at a woman whos all smooth and perfect iv lost the weight but doesn't like nice when your whole body is marked not even toned fit looks good without smooth flesh seems a lot of work to still look like a pair of tights stuffed with cottage cheese im glad you look fab enough not to feel insecure.

No. I have a great body myself, and I don't feel threatened by other women's beauty at all.

No they don't get married because the want the freedom to drool and st women opposite to there partners while saying they love us not so flat stretch stomachs and stretch marks while drooling over women that don't its men there pigs who treat women like shit i never perv ln men in front of my partner its emotional infidelity they might as well go to the whole way and just cheat for sake of looks and body men look at what they don't have instead of what they already have.

Yeah i hate especially since they seem to habe flat stomachs stretch mark free not an inch of extra fat perfect hair makeup clothes whereas im completely the opposite iv got stretchmarks massive blue veins all over my legs front and back iv got a belly thats far from flat i have cellulite my boobs arent perky il never be sexy or wear a bikini i need to lose weight and get rid of the stretchmarks and veins and lift my boobs up so i can match up i don't like my partner looking st women the opposite to me it makes me feel 2nd best and that he wants me to starve myself or would leave me if he got the opportunity to have someone skinny toned and above me.

NottonightJosepheen Great advice.
Your DH sounds so nice.

@outout she didn't say anything about the women! Or making he partner pay for it! She is taking responsibility for it being her issue alone. What OP did you read?!

I know exactly what you're talking about. I get this too! And my husband never makes comments and makes me feel insanely attractive. I don't have the excuse of a shithead ex either! I'm just a worrier! Never outloud though... maybe sometimes! Then he just looks at me like I've grown another head.

nah - i couldn't care less.

Given that your ex is a cheater and cruel/nasty - aren't you glad you didn't have his perfect body, you could've been stuck with a bastard like that, not knowing what he's truly like.
