How would you feel if you overhear the person you love say this...

"... She/He isn't the most beautiful woman/man in the world but I love her/him." Would you feel happy? or would you rather feel insecure? I wouldn't feel as happy as I should because it would actually bother me that he doesn't think I'm the most beautiful woman in the world. Not that I want the compliment too much, but I think when you love someone it should be someone whom you won't grow tired looking at. We may not be beauty queens but supposedly the person who loves us would see us as their own beauty queen, right? Anyhow, how would you feel if you have overheard that comment?

It doesn't matter too much on the beauty. More ever it is not the beauty that can last for ever. One day soon we can be old, getting to look older with wrinkles... The phisical attraction isn't that important. The most important thing is we love the person from inside. I would feel happy about this comment,

Hahaha.. But the spouse should not be spreading that he/she didn't really find the other beautiful right?

It's pretty normal for women to fantasize about movie stars, even if they are married nothing unusual there.

Hello laydee! If ever my husband would say that I don't know how to react. I would be sad I guess. But it would serve as his way or proving that he really loves me maybe. But I believe that when you love someone, he/she would be the most beautiful person in the world. I have some insecurities and I sometimes told my husband that how come he loves me when he's very adorable and I'm ugly but he reacted to me by saying "are you kidding me? YOU are the most beautiful woman in the world!"

YOU are the most beautiful woman in the world!" That's why I was wondering what if you'd overhear him say that you're not really the most beautiful woman in the world? That'll surely hurt, won't it?

it will definitely be a blow on my self-esteem.I will start thinking,will he stick with me if he finds a girl whom he thinks is really pretty?it sounds to me that he doesn't really find me pretty,and sooner he will be tired and will look for a pretty girl.men are visual creatures,and they value physical beauty so much,they wouldn't think twice coming up to a pretty girl and flirt with her.

Yeah, I know how you feel. I'm even secretly jealous when my man admires other women yet alone if I'd ever hear him say that to others. Whew!

Most women would be hurt by this statement from the one they love. Guys there is a lesson here. Don't compare the one you love to others publicly. It's a no win situation. I think my wife is beautiful. I don't have to qualify that. I don't have to say more. Is she the most beautiful or more beautiful than...? Maybe maybe not. I won't say. It doesn't matter. I don't care. I am not planning ever to be with anyone else. Guys if you decide to start making comparisons you might hurt her feelings or you might end up lying or you might end up playing a game of semantics. In other words are you talking about outer beauty or inner beauty or something else. Semantics is a tangled web. Trust me. Don't go there. Honey you're beautiful. Jack and Peter I think my wife is beautiful. I don't have to explain that.

Oh yeah, great response there friend. You don't have to qualify or explain to anyone anyhow, so why do so?

hi laydee, I'll get pissed! hahaha But the bottom line is, he loves me for who I am and i'll be happy for that. But do you know men always have their version or interpretation of the things they say. We might find it crazy and we may took it literary but somehow guys have their way on saying things. Maybe for them, it is on a positive note and it's the best way to say how they feel. You know..."Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus"..as they say so, its not a big deal if I heard him say that. But of course as a girl I'd love to hear..."Shes the most beautiful girl in the world and I love her". But if we analyze the words he said, we may think that.."ahh, he loves me because I'm beautiful?!" LOL.. which I think is not the only basis of loving a person. With that, I'd rather take your scenario as a positive thing, because "he loves me for who I am and not how i look or what's on the outside." Happy Mylotting!

I don't mind hearing this from the one I love because it makes me feel more secure that he does not put looks as a priority in our relationship. I have always been on the chubby side but when I want to diet, he always asks me why. He says that he likes me the way I am and that it doesn't really matter if I am chubby. I do tease him sometimes that he is not that handsome and yet I cannot live without him. This type of discussion always makes us laugh.

I won't feel insecure because he is just telling what is really meant to tell but I am so glad that he is claiming that I am the lovely woman she want and won't ever get tired. It boast myself confidence because even though I am not the most beautiful, he won't get tired looking at me.

I do not think so!I think the word of that commend is very honesty!I think it is enough that he loves me means that I am the most beautiful woman in his heart not in the world!So I am still his own beauty queen in his heart not in the world!The whole world is very large for me ,he is my own actual world!

I think in the case of men this comment wouldn't phase us as much. In my case i made sure whatever the case the girl i was dating WAS the most beautiful girl in the world and i'd never stop telling her that. If i heard my girl saying that she loves me even though i'm not the best looking i would actually be happy anyways. I personally know i'm just average looking so i wouldn't expect a compliment as big as that, and to know she loves me for who i am is more than enough to keep me happy.

Yes, would be sad if I heard him say it to someone else. I am NOT the most beautiful woman in the world. In fact I am fat and ugly and literally feel ill when I look in the mirror sometimes! But, I think we want to know that to our husbands, we are beautiful. And for him to say it to someone else is even more hurtful. Even though I know how I look, to hear the confirmation out loud to someone else would be humiliating. I already worry that it must be embarrassing for my husband to be seen with me, although he says its not.

I agree that your mate should not get tired of looking at you but I also think that there is beauty outside of us. By him saying that he is not saying you are not beautiful. I feel like I am not the most beautiful women and I know there are others better looking than I. As long as my husband is home with me, making me feel good about myself, I don't really mind him finding someone else more attractive.

Was reading a lot today and I found some unexpected ( I have to be honest :) ) words of wisdom from Marilyn Monroe, related to your discussion : 'Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius'.

a little disturbed TBH becuase she talk about the outside beauty..the inside beauty is more precious...im more like if she saying she loves me because of my attitude, that good things that come from me. such as im the one who can understand her, love her with all heart. thats more good actually..

I think it doesn't matters, looks isn't everything, as long our love one loves us, then there's no problem, because with loves will come compassion and compassion leads to acceptance, that's what i experience.
