    most people have had a real stunner in the past but generally settle down with about a seven. Have you?

    No exes.

    Is that particularly odd?

    My wife, without a shadow of a doubt. She just doesn't know it, which is why she puts up with me.

    I guess part of it is that your tastes change. I used to really like blonde sloany girls - so generally quite eye-catching but my Mrs is an understated beaut.

    Exes are just that. I've had many waaaaay hotter (in a conventional sense) than my wife - but none that I wish to grow old with.

    Having met the o/h's ex wife and an ex girlfriend I do wonder why he puts up with me :?

    Wife is better looking and much hotter than current g/f, no doubt. When I told her this though she wasn't as chuffed as I thought she'd be to receive such a compliment. Wimmin eh? Kuh.

    there's also the point of exes and friends plus generally being earlier on and are younger and more 'ripe' should I say. Whereas as you gotten older with the girl you love enough to stick with age plays a part. Should you really be comparing and 18 yr old to a 30 year old for example?

    Well - if you're going for out and out hotness, my last g/f before my (very soon to be) ex- wife) was the hottest. Mind blowingly good looking. Shame she was married.

    (Soon to be) Ex- had something extra though - which made her far more attractive and I dumped the mind-blowingly hot girl for my future wife.

    Although - there was the girl I split up with before the mind-blowingly good looking one whose photographs I stumbled across on some whacky fetish site. That was a shock I can tell you. :shock:

    (before anyone picks up on the "whacky fetish" thing - it was almost entirely for innocent reasons.... almost....)

    Further to Clever Pun's reasoning -

    In my twenties I had some very attractive girlfriends including a triathlete, a karate black-belt - both were petite, pretty and seriously fit - and a woman who literally caused a traffic accident just by walking down the street - a guy staring at her drove his Porsche into the back of the car in front of him.

    My wife is in her late-30's so it's probably unfair to compare her to women 15-odd years younger who were arguably in their physical prime. Having said that, I'm sure my wife is more beautiful than any of the exes are now.

    I don't like comparing women in that way.

    I believe attraction can grow or increase so my perception is skewed. Also the things I find attractive about a asian woman are different to the things I find attractive about a alack woman or a white woman.

    So I don't really like to say X girl is hotter that Y.:oops:

    Plus I depise all my exes.

    Now ranking bedroom performance... that I can do. Ms DDD is the best.

    Also older woman 30yr olds are hotter than 18yr olds IMO :oops:

    I've been with my current g/f for so long that she is now almost twice the age of my most recent ex. She's a looker but she was never really my (physical) type to begin with. But attraction is about more than looks, and I find that the older I get the broader my perception of beauty becomes. My eyes are drawn to women that I would probably never have noticed before. Of course, that may just be a tacit acknowledgment that I'm not as young or as handsome as I used to be.

    That's because I can't actually post any pictures that won't get removed instantly.

    That's an awful moment when you reach that age.

    Would a link be unsuitable and hence removed?
