"There are studies that show that there are objective criteria for beauty, and most people don't fit the bill" is actually killing me lmao. What a weirdo. At least he's mildly handsome, I guess.

Women are put under so much pressure to be attractive and not age. Being reassured by your partner they think you are beautiful is just a nice thing. I'm a 6 on my best days, I want my partner to think I'm a 10 on my worst days. It's nice to feel like your partner is proud of you.

Probably an unpopular opinion for sure. Since when has complimenting (or saying/doing anything to show how proud and loving you are of) your significant other become weird?

by Rodriguezcandic 2 days ago

I speak very highly of my partner all the time and have gotten some weird looks for just saying that I think he's sweet before. Some people get weirdly uncomfortable when you're not flinging insults or acting like you hate your relationship, I notice it more with older people.

Generally a good principle to say nice things to/about your wife. Even more brownie points when you compliment publicly.

Say it to her in private. This is just bragging and showing off for other men. Why not compliment her on something she has worked for? Not an attribute that is for the most part out of her control.

by Anonymous 1 day ago

Saying someone is handsome or beautiful is completely normal for your partner, there isn't a deeper meaning, people are attracted to their partners. Unless you have no self worth its just a harmless compliment, its not bragging, its not showboating, its just saying something nice about someone you are obviously attracted to, why the hell would you be with someone you don't find beautiful?

This opinion could really only be held by somebody who has never been in a serious relationship with somebody they love. These Compliments are not about "validity", they are expressions of affection. Healthy people share with others the things they care about, it's relatable and how people connect. Only somebody deeply unrelatable would scoff at a husband introducing their wife as beautiful. It's even more cringe when you try a justify this opinion with "logic", completely oblivious that husband's express affection for their wives. This isn't the high school debate team, you don't need evidence when complimenting somebody for god's sake.
