Do you ever look at your DH

from other women's perspectives? I do. Not sure why I do it, but sometimes find myself wondering if other women would find him attractive.

Sometimes, but it's not something I do intentionally.

It's normally when we are out with friends when there are also people we don't know out with us (I hope that makes sense, like a party somewhere with friends of friends).

He basically looks like a model - especially when his hair is a bit longer, and is chatty/charming at social occasions. Women tend to get quite self conscious around him, and I've had women people ask me if I know him in the past, clearly looking for an introduction :)

He is absolutely oblivious to all this, never believes me when I tell him that so and so fancied him, and just rolls his eyes when I tell him how gorgeous he is. His utter lack of vanity is his saving grace in my eyes. I couldn't be doing with some jumped up twat, peacocking around, and actively basking in female attention!

I wonder if mine would be different with someone else. Whether his behaviours/attitudes would be different.

I suppose he would be the same, people don't change, do they?

My DH is marvellous but he wasn't really a hit with the ladies before he met me. Your loss. All of you :)

DameEdnasBridesmaid · 31/08/2014 18:37

u2 same here. Peoples faces light up when they see him and then falls when they clock me.

He is nice person I'm not Smile he's very sociable and chatty I'm not

These threads are always the same. All the husbands are remarkably handsome and princes among men and their wives label themselves as ordinary or unattractive in comparison. You must be pretty special yourselves or these men wouldn't have found anything to fall in love with would they? Smile

My ex gets more attractive the older he gets and actually comes across as a bit of a catch, only I know that personality wise he is a pig that walks on two legs.

My dh definitely gets better with age , which I think is due to the fact that he has grown in confidence
The same female friends who thought that he wasn't great looking
when I met him , now say that he is a very handsome man.
He has always been good looking to me.

monkeyfacegrace · 31/08/2014 19:20

I call my Dh a BOBFOC. Body off bay watch, face off crime watch.

He's not the most attractive guy, no.

But he adores me has a good pay packet so meh.

Tryharder · 31/08/2014 19:38

My DP is short, fat and ugly.

But he makes me laugh and is marvellous in bed

I am drop dead fucking gorgeous.Wink

Horsemad · 31/08/2014 19:42

Snap Nicki, mine is a difficult person to live with, but comes across as much more reasonable than me because I'm quite forthright (or bolshy!)

I worry, I don't look at him thinking others will want to shag him, I look at him knowing others will look at him as a keeper. If others look as I go, they'll fall for him big time. He's a truly amazing man and I'm lucky he's as mad about me as I am about him.

Bisou88 · 31/08/2014 21:13

I notice when women find my DP attractive, just recently we were in a bakery in Paris and the lady serving us was chatting away to DP, giggling and blushing, personally i find it a compliment and count myself lucky i have such a handsome DP Grin

ChampagneTastes · 31/08/2014 21:17

Both my DH and I are both painfully hot; men AND women look but are intimidated by our beauty and obvious devotion to each other.

Oh sod it, you got me. I'm Angelia Jolie.

kaykayblue · 31/08/2014 21:59

Champagne tastes - that made me laugh!!

NickiFury - I fell out of your summary! I get hit on A L OT when we go out to bars, but thing is...I'm no swamp hag, but I'm hardly Anne fucking Hathaway. However, when you're a woman there are a fuckton of sleazy guys in the world who are happy to hit on anyone with ovaries.

I don't know. Men seem to go for a numbers game, so it's impossible to feel like you're anything special!

Women - from my experience - don't tend to play the numbers game. They just hit on people as they find someone in particular they want to hit on!

pillowhogger · 31/08/2014 22:46

OH once got asked out on the train to work. This has most certainly never happened to me, so I'm counting myself a lucky lady!

Horsemad · 31/08/2014 22:50

I was asked out recently, despite me wearing a wedding ring! I declined (natch!) but was a bit gobsmacked at how brazen the guy was.
