When was the last time your spouse or boyfriend told you that you were pretty?

Does your spouse or boyfriend give you compliments about your looks or tell you that you're pretty? Does it make you feel good about yourself? It's been awhile since my spouse gave me a really big compliment about the way I look. He's been under lots of stress lately, but it would be nice if he'd notice once in a while.

It has been about 3 years since my husband has told me that i was pretty because i guess he feels he does'nt have to tell me that i should already know ... One of those types of guys !

My husband tries to tell me I'm beautiful quite often, but I never believe him. It's just one of those things he's supposed to say, and he rarely has any meaning behind it. Once in awhile though he will give me one of those looks... Like a couple days ago I had put on some make up, and I was tossing my hair around while trying to put it in a clip. He looked at me that way and goes "Wow, you really are beautiful". He said it with meaning, so that meant a lot.

the only time my husband even hints about me looking good is when he is in the mood. sometimes it makes me feel worse about myself. he'll act like the way i look makes him all charged up, and then nothing happens. i wish he would compliment me, but after 3 kids, i can see why he doesn't.

Stress sure is a killer sometimes .I am sur he notices, men can just be dumb sometimes. My fiance says it in so many words , but not nothing like baby you are so pretty . Out of the blue he will just say god baby you look so hot . This was afer I showered and had wet hair , and cute shorts and a tank . The other day he actually told me I looked sporty I was like what . I had shorts and an older tee and hair up . He says things too like you have sexy feet . For me it seems when I need to hear it the most is when he wont say nothing . There are days i know i look good and I am just waiting .

Sporty? Last time I heard that phrase was in the Total Recall movie. I think it's one of those guy phrases. Right now I'd settle for any kind of compliment, so I'm not one for nitpicking!

It's very rare that my husband gives me compliments...he doesn't have the time to notice anything. But he did tell me two days ago that I was looking pretty though he was concerned about the weight I had lost in the last one month (after I started working).

That's sweet! My honey talks to me like that over the phone. But not so much in person.

He's pretty good about giving me compliments, and I do the same for him. He's got a nice.. um.. asset.. ya that's the ticket.. so I whistle at him when he walks thru the living room in his undies. HE's just so darn cute I can't help it.

WooHoo! Bet he likes that! Glad you're happy. It's good to find someone to have fun with that you can also love like crazy.

You know beauty my other half is not gushy and he doesn't go overboard and tell me I look good or pretty but he will say it with his eyes or give a whistle when I come into the room and that means more as it is natural for him in a way that him saying it wouldn't be! I do hope your husband starts to tell you as I am sure he is thinking it but quite often men think you can tell that teh y think that and so they don't need to tell you! xxx

I am sure he has noticed but the stress has gotten to him. My husband has just make a bench for me and engraved a heart and Bill loves Weezy on it. I love it. Now that was made with love and care. We chopped down a tree that the roots may cause problems with our swimming pool so we then killed the roots and he built a bench over the stump. It is quite good.

Hello dear beauty queen. Sometimes my wife says to me, "well, hubby, you look younger than my real age today and sometimes when she sees one of my photos that makes me look old, she also tells me that I look like my real age now." I agree with what my wife says because I have the same feeling even if she does not say so. hehehe. Enjoy yourself, beauty queen.

Oh! Photos are never flattering for anyone! Though my spouse always says that I am very pretty in photos. He says that the camera loves me! LOL! He's a photographer, so I guess he would know what he's talking about! Thanks for your post.

Everyday I always received a good comment from my husband. Just like toda he just told me how beautiful, sexy and irrisistable I am. It was really self fulfilling when you were being flattered by your spouse it adds to your confidence.

I always say to my girlfriend how pretty she is, because I know it makes her happy and I always want her to be happy.

Mine tells me that he loves me and that I'm beautiful every single day! Sometimes more than once a day and it does make me wonder if he's telling me the truth or not. LOL I know he is because he loves me from the heart to mine and it's the same way for me to him.

Well, the guy that I am seeing doesnt compliment me at all. The last time that he has said anything to me about my looks was back in March when I got my teeth pulled. He said that I looked kinda cute with my face swallen. But, besides that he really dont say anything like that to me.
