I would be hurt and in disbelief that my significant other is such a dumbass to say this to me outloud. One thing is to compliment someone on their beauty, but to say "the most beautiful woman" he's ever seen? Nah, that's rude and disrespectful. As far as my husband is concerned, I know, that I'm the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. I don't want to know anything else besides that.

ETA: boys, if you are smart, always say this to your woman.

My standard response to that is, "With me right here with you? Bah, your taste is all in your mouth."

it depends if it goes on for half hour or that partner never compliments you and seems overly glued to other women/men. if its just stated thats fine and even healthy. trusting your partner and not geting jeoulous shows you have a good bond to them. some people are hard not to notice if there stuning.

It would most definitely offend me and I know that the reverse situation would offend him. But we're both easily jealous

If we're out and about and I see a beautiful woman, I'll usually make a comment about her. I rarely look at guys, but I like looking at women to get ideas for clothes, hair, etc. I like looking at people in general and thinking of what their lives are like or what kind of personality they may have, etc.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is that while he would never dream of saying something like that around me and I would never say anything about an attractive man in his presence, I feel that the 'rules' are a bit different when it's the same gender. I think it all goes back to the jealousy thing and wanting to be "the best" in their eyes. The same gender poses less of a 'threat'.

Just FYI, jealousy has no place in a successful long term relationship - it just doesn't.

I look at it from the other side--if it were me thinking a guy were best looking I've ever seen I'd see no reason to tell my s/o that. Now, if he asked me what I thought, I might say he's nice looking. But I wouldn't feel it necessary to make a big deal of it by exclaiming he's the best looking I've ever seen. I know men look, that's a given. I know there are women much better looking than myself. I don't even pretend otherwise. I just don't see the need to tell your s/o how hot you think someone else is. It seems disrespectful. What's the point? Save it for your buddies.

That really wouldn't take much--I don't see myself as at all attractive.
