Who do you consider to be better looking, you or your partner?

And does it affect your relationship at all?

We are even. When we first got together I thought it was him. Looking back at pics from them - oh my word- he was lucky to go out with me!!

Then not them

@Wankpuffin

Me. He’s punching. He knows he’s punching, and he’s absolutely thrilled by it 😂 He calls us Harry and Meghan!

Neither of us as we’re both very ordinary looking. We’re not bothered by how we look, which is really obvious if you saw us

We’re equally matched looks wise

Me. Not that I’m anything special. It is irrelevant in our relationship.

There is an age difference in her favour and DW looks something betwixt Keira, Eva and Penelope, so just somehow this shrek just got lucky.

In reality we’re probably evenly matched, but both he and I think he is utterly gorgeous .

He was always one of the “in crowd” at school and grew up being told that he was wonderful etc and he has bought into that! Objectively, he’s a handsome guy, he’s not tall and maybe not the most well groomed, carrying some extra weight. But he makes me melt when I look at him.

My parents always told me I was beautiful but I didn’t believe a word of it. DP also tells me this but I have low self esteem so struggle to believe it. I know that other people consider me to be good looking, but also overweight.

He would rate himself a 9/10 if he lost weight - maybe an 8-8.5 now. I’d say I’m a 6 or 7 if lost some weight.

It impacts our relationship in that I do feel insecure - that maybe he is with me “despite who I am” not “because of who I am”.

I worry that he sees himself with someone like his ex (objectively more attractive than me!) and that he’s happy to be with me, because I bring more to the table than good looks.

He was super hot, then he died, so I guess I’m the hot one now 🤷🏽‍♀️

Depends if you fancy men or women really, and what your type is.

I've not really thought about it. I think we're both the same really.

hhhmmmm I'd say we're about the same level

My partner, he's properly gorgeous. Doesn't affect our relationship at all.

Him but I have youth on my side so I reckon it balances things out a bit.

Him, I don't really fancy myself 😂
Just asked him he said "er you now, me when we were younger and I didn't have a pouch and grey hair"
thanks love! 😂

I'd say DH and I are the same level of attractiveness. I think I'd feel rather insecure if I was with a model-handsome guy.

He's prettier, I'm apparently unique and interesting looking, not sure if that's complimentary or not?
It hasn't impacted our relationship at all.

He says he's punching, I say I am so i guess were even lol. He gets chatted up and looked at alot by other women so I'd say he's definatly better looking than me

My partner...

… they know my mumsnet name.

Me, but not by much.

Evens, no spring chickens. He says I'm beautiful, I don't believe him

DH, those blasted beautiful Italian genes. He’s gorgeous and doesn’t know it so I think it’s wasted on him.

Hmm, lots of people would mention that my (now ex) DH was 'punching' but tbh without my hair and makeup done he is more attractive. Anyway, he had an emotional affair with someone 6 years older than me, at least two stone heavier and less conventionally attractive so I would say it doesn't really matter in the end.

People become more/less attractive to me as I learn if I like them or not.

I look younger, he looks substantially fitter!
Neither one affects our relationship but I’m sure he’d secretly love it if I lost the lockdown lbs.
