Do you think you and the oh are equally "attractive"

[34and3]

Just that really. You always here the expression of "he/she is punching" implying an unequal level of attractiveness. Or things like "they look mismatched". I reckon dh and I are both averagely attractive so "go". Am I waffling?!

How nice for you.
when is the fluff piece out?

When we met 25 years ago I think we were about the same, but I've put on weight since then and he is ageing well. Luckily I have lots of other good points 😀

I am punching and not ashamed to admit it. It actually makes me quite proud (and makes me wonder what my wife saw in me 😂)

She is regularly approached when we are out as she is absolutely gorgeous and quite unique looking, in that people always remember her in places we go, even in other cities that we very rarely visit.

On my own I could visit a place a hundred times and not be remembered. We visited Liverpool a month or so back and went to a bar that she had visited alone when there a few months earlier and was remembered by the staff.

Objectively, my DH has better body, teeth and hair.

Yep - we're both ugly fuckers 😂

Both fugly here too! Yet strangely have produced 2 gorgeous children ( no, really!) and had a series of very attractive dogs.

Sitandbequiet your oh has teeth? Teeth?! Stop flexing and get outta here!
( I keep my teeth in a drawer!)

I find that most people are of a similar level of attractiveness to their partner. We tend to find our level! Rarely see a handsome guy with a plain woman. Quite often happens the other way round though.

Yep, we’ve both had a good clout with the ugly stick.

Lots of women question "what has he (DH) found in HER" because he's tall/i'm short, he's got dark hair/eyes and I am all washed out nordic pale mouse, he's muscular/I'm just slim. But lots of men seem to favour my type, so I think it's kinda even. Plus, I am not going bald (touch wood). Points for that?

Most women "settle" so "what she's doing with me" type questions can be easily answered with if physical attraction isn't equal, she probably just needed to get married and have children, and the bloke of her "equal" wasn't interested in that.

When young, women tend to be better looking but as they age it's a toss up. In rich couple it's equal, in poor couple it's down to lifestyle and how they have aged.
I don't think people generally will answer objectively a question like this. Look at celebrities and famous couples. Usually, a man's wealth makes up for his looks but it's rarer for a less attractive woman... and if you think she's average, try and see her in men's eyes. Slim is good enough for many men, she doesn't have to be muscular or curvy like Kim K, it's hard enough having a slim toned body believe me! Plus it's the shape that most men find more feminine, the whole petite thing is the tall muscular man equivalent.

I'm objectively better looking than my partner. But, to me, looks are the least important and interesting part of a person.

When we got together, a few people told me I could "do better". They had no answer when I described his character and personality and asked if they thought I could do better than that.

When people ask this I often see women say their husband is much better looking, I can't say I've ever met a couple where I thought that. Usually a more attractive wife in my experience.

I think me and DH would be considered equal ish

My DH is the best looking man I know. I have a decent body for having two kids, and look OK when wearing make up. I think he's probably still hotter than me (although we'd have to ask random men).

Me.

No he is much better looking and younger, women are constantly looking at him but it works for me as I still fancy him

If I go out of the house with DH and without make up, my hair pulled back and no effort with clothing I wouldnt be surprised if people thought "what's he doing with her?" even if he'd just rolled out of bed.

However, when I'm done up in my glad rags, or even if im making a small effort with make up, then we are evenly matched I'd say.

I honestly don’t know.

When done up, I’m more attractive but that’s the same for a lot of women.

On an average day when my hair is a shoved up mess and I’m wearing leggings and a T-shirt covered in baby sick with my my mum pouch bulging and he’s in a suite from work, then him for the polished look?

He's average and I'm fugly.

Yes I do.

Even now we are ageing, he has way more static wrinkles than me, but I am jowling faster than him, so it kinda evens out

I'm better looking in terms of conventional attractiveness. When people ask why I'm with him as I could "do better" i just laugh. He is everything that's good in this world, I could never be as beautiful as he is and it's crazy that people don't see that!

Oh no, I definitely know couples where the man is more attractive, way more. I am middle aged and didn’t know them when they were younger, so don’t know if this is a case of those particular guys just being lucky to age better.

Oh maybe I'm early 30s.... I don't know any couples where the man is more attractive.
