I notice good looking guys if they are really good looking. Otherwise, everyone just kind of blends in to me.


I know he is attracted to certain other women, but I am his type and he only seems to be attracted to women who look similar to me.

Why on earth would I be jealous? And I don't think anyone looks "better" than my SO. My husband is the most amazing man I know - nobody even comes close. When I look at him - I see everything that he is to me. I see the man who makes me laugh, my emotional rock, the man who believes in me, the person I sleep next to every night, the man that I'm spending my life with. Why on earth would I be jealous of any other guy or girl? I have everything I want. Do I notice attractive people of both sexes? Sure. Doesn't mean I think anyone looks better than my husband.

When I was with my ex, I only had eyes for him. Would I glance? Sure, but I probably looked at just as many women as I did men. I notice people who are out of the ordinary (tattoos, weird hair, weird clothes etc.) so of course I'm gonna look.

My ex used to compare me to other women constantly though. Why can't you have her butt? Look at her boobs, you'd look much better with that size. Wow, she's so thin... when was the last time you went to the gym? On and on and on.... not good and made me feel terrible.

I was the opposite. I was constantly complimentary. my last ex was really hard on herself though. "I need to lose 50 pounds!" She said all the time, or she'd complain about the size of her boobs. Then I'd tell her that her figure was great, or how the 3 guys in the last aisle were staring at her a$$ and burning a hole into it, or how nice her hair and face was. She really was a pretty woman, and she dressed conservatively, but it didn't help since she really did have big boobs and men who attempted to talk to her couldn't get past her rack.

The only thing my ex ever really complimented me on was how big my boobs were or how 'almost normal' sized my feet were. other than that, it was constant criticism. It's really hard for me to lose weight (between my broken thyroid and medication I have to take for my disorder) and I finally lost around 15 lbs a while back that took me months of hard work. He said 'that's great!! Now, only 30 more to go!'.

I do have the problem of men staring at my boobs no matter how I'm dressed instead of looking me in the face. Even my old boss used to do that, and when I called him on it he freaked out and accused me of wanting to sue to company for sexual harassment. I just can't win sometimes.

That speaks more to what an asshat your ex was, not to any flaws of yours. A good man would appreciate you for who you are.

I notice both attractive men and women.

Some of the men are better looking than my husband.

Some of the women are better looking than me.

Even if we George Clooney and Catherine Zeta Jones, that would STILL be the case.

So what?

With the size of your breasts, it's going to be really difficult for any man, who likes large breasts, to not notice them from a distance. I admit that while I"m single, I will always notice a large chest from a distance, but I've found it really easy to maintain eye contact with those women when close because I appreciate a smile and I do have respect. My mom taught me that, actually. She was well endowed, and she made sure that when approaching anyone, gifted or not, to have eye contact, or at least maintain eyes neck-level and higher because it's respectful, since you've probably already gotten that eye-full from far away.
