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

[PhoebeAlice]

And does it affect your relationship at all?

My dh is a good looking man, I've been told I'm punching above my weight a fair few times. I'm also older and fatter but the man is a chubby granny chaser so I'm well in. It doesn't really effect us as we love each other and I earn more, so he's well in too!

Me. It's commented on frequently and annoys the hell out of me as I think it's so rude to him. I think he's lovely and really don't care what he looks like.

Now I'm fat and old, I don't get men trying to pick me up anymore but in the past I have had strangers try it while he's there, just disregarding him (cos they're better looking) or assuming he's a relative.

His friends, work mates and even family joke about it and it must get to him, though he just laughs it off.

He's not even ugly, just average looking (think Martin Freeman or Ricky Gervais level of attractiveness).

Him, especially as we age. It's not a problem as I have healthy self esteem

It was me. Then I had 3 kids. Now I am podgy, greying, lots of sun damage.
Meanwhile he has lost weight, cut his hair, looks great.
But it's all in the eye of the beholder. My mum called him 'unusual looking' which I think was quite bitchy. He's good looking.

We were fairly equal when we were younger, but he definitely has the edge now in middle age. He has matured Very nicely, is in good shape and he’s lucky enough to have kept all his hair. It’s now thick salt & pepper waves & looks very distinguished. Or it did before lockdown, anyway....

DH.

Pre-parenthood it was probably pretty equal.

But he gets much more handsome as he ages and pregnancy, breastfeeding, lack of sleep and greediness hasn't been kind to me.

Thankfully he still thinks I'm as attractive as when we got together at 19 and for that I'm very grateful! Not sure I'd be brave enough to let another man near my naked body but as DH was there through all the changes he likes them.

But yeah if you saw us on a normal day I'm definitely the one punching.

Definitely y husband but it’s not an issue at all. He isn’t really aware that he’s quite nice looking.

My partner.
But it doesn't matter really as neither of us are trying to be attractive - well not physically.

And I think him being so hot looking the last few years has improved our relationship.

When DC were little I didn't have much energy to put into telling/showing him how hot I thought he was.

But it's definitely working in his favour now. All the lockdown fitness suits him too. I can't resist his newly more muscly arms.

Luckily for me even my lockdown flab is sexy to him. Sure isn't for me though I need to pull my finger out.

Him, without question. I honestly don’t know what attracted him to me though because he really is absolutely gorgeous to look at.

My DP and not really. The only thing that affects me personally isn't how attractive he is, but how attractive his ex wife is. I'm definitely less attractive than her but I'm more intelligent and a nicer person. So swings and roundabouts I guess.

Well I would say it used to be me when we met at 21 and 23. I was thin, toned, blind and tanned I also looked a good few years younger and always was asked for ID or they wouldn't serve me when I went out...

At the moment I am two dress sizes bigger, untoned and so on...

DH is 6ft2, dark hair, dark eyes, does a physical job and always went to the gym... He is now less gym more pints but due to his height carries the bit of extra weight well. He carries off the rugged unkempt look. I definately do not however a year or so after giving birth I'm looking after my skin and hair better and buying less baggy clothes... Need to sort the diet and drink less coffee with biscuits but I'm back at work in 2 weeks so the stress always helps plus the lack of time to eat and drink

I'd say my DH is better looking than me.

I think in the first maybe 7 years of our relationship I was the better looking one but since then hes filled out more and fits his frame better now. He's also started wearing glasses and is more stubbly which suits him.

Meanwhile I've been struggling with my PCOS symptoms and have put on a lot of weight.

OH would say me but he is very good looking. A school mum told me whilst drunk that his nickname is housewives delight I've always thought he was gorgeous but the last 10 years he has got even more so.

Even. Weirdly, we look like brother and sister.

If you are blind Bakewell you might just think he is good looking?

Sorry meant to include a

Possibly me at the start, then a stage of being even now definitely him. He has aged so well, I've put on weight and not aged as good. It doesn't affect us at all though, his social skills are dismal and im much better at chatting to people. Plus we trust each other completely

I'd say we are both equal.
