    Just curious on how often your SO tells you that you are beautiful, pretty, look nice, etc.

    My lovely FH tells me every single night that i am beautiful before we go to sleep. He also tells me more times than just that but i hear it at least once a day

    really helps me feel better about myself :)

    He tells me I'm beautiful every day and he also tells me when I get ready (when we go out, etc) that I look amazing.

    being told you look amazing is almost better than being told you are beautiful!

    3 times a day? That is awesome! you must be one pretty lady ;) lol

     

    I'm happy to hear that men actually do tell their girls they are beautiful :)

    Not very often, but then I'm also not pretty so in my mind I don't expect any one to tell me I'm beautiful. He also isn't the type to gush, he shows affection in other ways and I'm ok with that.

    I honestly find it hard with the ins and outs of every day to believe that people are told they are beautiful all the time. 

    I didn't hear it often but he is making more of an effort now. So he usually does his best to tell me how cute i look sometimes or that i look nice when i dress up. I often get comments when i am in my work out gear with a head band on. Really? THATS when i look super cute? LOL

    It's hard to say this but he never does.  It hurts but he does show me he loves me is SOO many other ways.  I have read the Love Languages book and even though it is one of my major ones it just isn't his and I knew that before I married him and I accept it and I love him and like I said he makes up for it in his own way :)

    He tells me I am beautiful/attractive/"hot" often enough( but not every day or even every other day)

    We say " I love you" daily, but I like that he reserves " beautiful" for special occasions.

    he tells me and shows me everyday that i i am beautiful.  he makes me feel wonderful even when i am makeupless and have an old t-shirt and jammie pants on and i am in need of a shower.  now that's true love.

    side note:  i was with my ex for 8 years and he only told me only 2x that i looked "nice".  once when i got a new dress for work and the other time when we were going to a formal party and i had a gorgeous long black gown on.  he, however, expected to be told daily how wonderful he looked.  yes, one of the many reasons he is an "ex".

    Most guys struggle to be affectionate.

    He tells me everyday, several times a day. =)

    When I'm sitting at the computer, sometimes I'll look up and he's staring at me. Then he'll smile and say "You're so gorgeous."

    When I get dolled up he'll say I'm "so f-ing sexy." However, he does the same when I exit the shower looking like a dripping rat! Lol. He also loves to take pictures of me, especially when I'm all dolled up!

    He always tells me I'm beautiful/sexy/hot. He's amazing.

    My husband tells me he loves me multiple times a day.  Very rarely does he call me beautiful.  He calls me "cute" frequently, and it makes me cringe.

    He tells me enough that it doesn't annoy me but that I feel it is genuine. Maybe a few times a week, sometimes more, sometimes less.

    Frequently, but not so much it sounds like he is just saying it.

    At least several times a week though he will tell me he loves me/I am beautiful (but when he says he makes sure I know it means "inside and out")/"pretty cute"/smart/a hot/sexy babe and things like that. He is wonderfully verbally affectionate and complimentary, and I greatly enjoy it! My love language is definitely words of affection so I lap it up, ha.

    I tell him he is loved, beautiful, sexy and such frequently as well, I would also say several times a week.

    He tells me often enough and I tell him too. I personally would prefer he not say that everyday as it get annoying. If we are going out or I'm looking nice, he will tell me and vice versa.

    Often enough.  Every now and then, usually when we're getting dressed up to go somewhere.  I don't need to nor want to hear it much more than that otherwise it annoys me and doesn't feel genuine. I'm happy with the way I look and that's really all that matters - I don't need anyone to tell me to pump up my self esteem. I know he thinks it so no need to say it.  To each his own though.

    @MrsFullerToBe:  Yay girls! Most of your men show the love.I am sorry that some don't. All of you girls are beautiful!Most guys struggle to be affectionate.

    Maybe you didn't mean it that way, but I kind of find that to be a bit (for lack of a better word) condescending.  Just because a man doesn't tell his SO she is beautiful every day doesn't mean he doesn't love her. Men, just like women, have different love languages.  As long as it works for the couple then great!  If a woman doesn't tell her man he's handsome every day does that mean she doesn't love him?  

    I just don't think it's something you should be sorry about.  Every couple and what works for them is different. Just because you need to hear it every day for you to be secure and happy in your relationship doesn't mean others do.

    There is more to a woman then her outward beauty. I'd rather have my man tell me I'm smart or funny or kind or generous than beautiful.  Inner beauty is much more important than what's on the outside.

    He calls me some variation of beautiful (pretty/gorgeous/sexy/cute/hot) every single day, and I don't ever feel that it isn't genuine. I've never had to ask/tell him to say it, I'll usually just find him staring at me, and when I say, "What?" he says, "Nothing, you're just so beautiful." It is very sincere, and I love it, never get sick of it! It makes me feel good to know he really thinks I'm attractive.

    FI tells me often... but I don't see him every day. He wakes up at 4 am to go to work, and I get home from work at 11:30 pm. But when he does see me, he'll tell me. I'd say about once or twice every other day. :)

    I most definitely did not mean that a guy doesn't love you just because he doesn't say you are beautiful. I said "show the love" I saidthat because I know a lot of guys do not say mushy stuff. And I wanted to let everyone know they are beautiful. I did not think what I said was hurtful in anyway. But then again, this is the with reading instead of hearing someone speak. I am sorry to anyone I offended

    @MrsFullerToBe:  Never chewed you out.  I responded to your post with my experience and opinions.  Relax,

    However, you did say "really helps me feel better about myself' which in my opinion would indicate that if he didn't say it, it may be a stuggle for you to feel good about yourself on your own.

    Mine never says that I'm beautiful but, he does call me "his queen". Although sometimes I wish I could hear it, I think about how he shows me his love, which is just as important to me. He cooks, cleans, let's me do whatever I want without complaint and does things without me having to ask. In fact, this weekend, I said "the closet is kind-of dark". By that evening, he wired in a new light for me.
