a lot of great insight. I did mention he isn't a d-bag. real nice guy aside from that aspect. I'm thinking he is extrinsic in what he values, not intrinsic. after thinking about it, he does let me know how much certain items cost. Nice vehicles, toys, kids education, salary.
lol, while those things are nice, I don't place a lot of stock in them. Jeans an T shirt person here.
IDK, if you're uncomfortable with it (or just tired of it), you could handle it either of two ways. Either simply tell him, "Yeah, Joe, you tell me that every time I see you. I get the message, thanks. I'm glad you're happy." Repeat as needed. OR you could say, "Why do you keep telling me this, every time we get together? Do you want me to have a go at her, or something? I'm not into that." That should work.

Sounds like a d-bag, sorry. You don't have to be evil to be one, just douchey and that is what braggarts are.

He sounds materialistic and shallow. Could still be a nice guy, don't get me wrong. But he clearly values what people think about his possessions. Perhaps he sees his wife as a possession too
So I've got this acquaintance, he is maybe 9 years older than me, like mid 50's. Great guy, but every other conversation, he somehow manages to squeeze in some quip about how hot his was still is, or how good her body looks as she works out 2 hr a day. I really don't know how I am supposed to react to a statement like that.
It's strange because the only other guy I knew who used to talk like that was a Dbag.
My wife is pretty and all that too, but I don't throw that fact in to others on a regular basis.
If every other conversation this comes up, person has an issue.
If someone mentioned it once and it pisses you off, that's probably your issue not theirs. I like to see people happy as opposed to talking smack about their significant others. The latter bothers me a lot more, some guy going off on his wife being lazy/fat/dumb/shallow, etc.

I'd be sad - and surprised - if the only compliment my husband ever wanted to give me/tell others about was that he found me physically hot.
That doesn't last forever no matter how much you work out and avoid the sun, and what - I'm not a person without my boobs and abs? Kind of thought he was marrying me for more than that.
Now if it were ONE (very occasional, because anybody knows it's sort of an uncomfortable thing to say to a casual acquaintance - I mean what's the appropriate response?) comment leaning toward that effect, OR if it were "I think she's beautiful," and he also noted that I'm smart or take care of things or am creative or whatever, that would be different. It would make more sense and wouldn't seem so insecure.
