And does it affect your relationship at all?

OP posts:
VictoriaBun · 11/08/2020 13:22

We've been together over 20 years and I think we are staring to look alike and that is not a good thing

bengalcat · 11/08/2020 13:22

I think we’re both quite hot and similar really .

PaundryLouder · 11/08/2020 13:23

Initially him by quite a bit. He is still good looking but ageing faster than me (we're the same age but people think he's older).

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 11/08/2020 13:24

Me most of the time. Do is a good looking guy. He would say him 😂. Right now though I've put on loads of weight, I'm pregnant, don't have a tan at all, haven't had my hair done since before lock down, so I'm looking particularly shit.

Trashtara · 11/08/2020 13:25

I think we are both very similar in levels of attractiveness. We were both really quite hot when we got together. We have not aged well!

Trashtara · 11/08/2020 13:25

But at least we've not aged well together!

areyoubeingserviced · 11/08/2020 13:28

When we met, definitely me.
However, he has got better looking as he has got older

anditgoeson · 11/08/2020 13:29

If you're being purely superficial about it then me. I am more conventional looking. I'm lucky in that I look young for my age and people will often comment on how good I look (which is nice if not embarrassing but I do appreciate it at my age). I also work out alot so am still in good shape. My DP is very unconventional looking and never works out at all (he hates it!) but he definitely has something about him. He's tall, has great hair and is very confident and funny. I think he's gorgeous. He is hot to me, and I am very physically attracted to him.
He doesnt think he is attractive but he gets hit on alot and has lots of admirers.

He's always saying he sees guys looking at me but I never ever get hit on (not complaining about that) but I think it goes to show that looks arent everything. He's much friendlier and nicer than me!

My DP gets upset that I am 'too good for him' and and asks me why I am with him. It upsets him when people say he is 'punching' being with me. I never know what to say because everything I say sounds sounds rubbish. I usually make jokes about his big d@ck to deflect from the situation 🤣

It really pisses me off when people say that to him because he is amazing and I'm lucky to have him.

Why OP what's your situation?

Glitterbiscuits · 11/08/2020 13:31

DH has really grown into his face. He's much better looking at 50 than he was at 25.
He looks very much like Keanu Reeves with glasses. They could be related.
The weird thing is I see Keanu Reeves and don't think he's good looking.

Toilenstripes · 11/08/2020 13:33

I used to be but he’s been gaining on me for at least five years and will surpass me very soon. I can really see it in pictures.

Iamnotcisanything · 11/08/2020 13:36

My wife probably shades it, in the way that Messi is better than Christian Ronaldo, or Bezos is richer than Gates. We're both top drawer. Me - Pierce Brosnan but stronger. Her - Gong Li but also stronger.

anditgoeson · 11/08/2020 13:37

Short answer, yes it does at times.

BohemianBehemoth · 11/08/2020 13:40

DH now definitely. He hasn’t wrecked his body by carrying 5 children (including hefty twins).He’s been a gym goer for years so is well built up and very fit. He’s also of Mediterranean descent so has dark skin and hair and tans beautifully within minutes Angry, his skin hasn’t aged as badly as my pasty Irish skin has either!

His hair is thinning and greying but I think he looks better than he ever did now. He has forearms to die for Grin.He was quite gawky when he was younger looking back at old photos but had grown into his face so to speak!

He was definitely punching when he met me though. I was gorgeous although I didn’t know it Grin.

BluebellForest836 · 11/08/2020 13:42

Me.

Mainly because my partners put on weight and has a belly now.

tigerbear · 11/08/2020 13:47

We’re equal, I think. He says me.
He’s 7 years older than me, and in the best shape of his life, due to recently starting a very physical job. For a guy of nearly 50, he’s ripped Smile

CaptainCorellisPangolin · 11/08/2020 13:48

I think she is. She thinks I am. Works well.

Lweji · 11/08/2020 13:50

Regarding some aspects me, others him.
None are model material. Grin

Snog · 11/08/2020 13:52

I have the edge in looks but DH is younger than me by several years

cherrybakewells3 · 11/08/2020 13:53

Me. No it doesn't really affect relationship.

His personality outshines mine. He is so kind, caring, social, hard working and has many friends compared to me and he is attractive to me.

I'm not gullible enough at all to believe all the posters comparing there DPs to what they think are beautiful celebrity's mind. Not at all.

istheresomethingwrongwithme · 11/08/2020 13:54

He is definitely better looking than me. I can look alright when I've got my weight under control and make an effort with my hair and make-up, but we two toddlers that rarely happens. He just looks the same all the time.

Chickenwing · 11/08/2020 13:54

My DP is better looking and has a more likable personality than me. In the first year or so it made me very insecure and I was convinced he would realise I wasn't good enough. We have been together 8 years now and it makes 0 difference to our relationship (he is still more attractive and friendly/pleasant.) I think he settled but he has never said this to me.

cooliebrown · 11/08/2020 13:56

neither of us has what you'd call good looks at all. However, we have both been blessed with hair that hasn't greyed or thinned well into our 50s - so we now look quite the handsome couple, and people expect us to be younger than we are.

JonHammIsMyJamm · 11/08/2020 13:56

It’s me but he’s much more of a catch in pretty much every other aspect.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 11/08/2020 14:08

I think we're around the same

Wankpuffin · 11/08/2020 14:36

Me.

I look at Dh sometimes and think “Christ, what was I thinking”.

I am 36 weeks pregnant though and I hate him right now.

That’s probably not helping.
