These are great! I've been married to the same woman for a while. When she asks about her dress or how she looks I say "fabulous." I do notice she checks out other woman far more than do I. I give her grief about that and she rarely brings it up if I notice a pretty thing. Funny thing is, she is still beautiful to me, even though my first date with her was 40 years ago last April. I still see that same smoking hot babe I asked to see "Night of the Living Dead" with me.

I didn't get married till I was 37. I saw a lot of what this world has to offer, if you know what I mean. My wife doesn't quite get this, but the fact is that I have no desire to stray because of respect for her, but also because quite frankly I couldn't be arsed to put in the effort. Besides, at this point no woman is going to be able to do anything that would impress me enough to invest in the time and effort that even a 1 night stand would require. When I got married I was actually grateful that the whole sex thing was finally and conclusively sorted, and 25 years later that feeling of gratitude has only been strengthened. I work with many women between the ages of 19 and 26. If any of them started to flirt with me I'd shake my head and walk away laughing, no matter what they looked like.
"She is a treasure, which is all that matters."
My wife is MUCH too good for me. It's literally her fault that I am still alive.
I was a weirdo when it came to women: I had high standards. Had to be good looking. At least as smart as me. Lol, finding such a woman agreeable to marriage was unlikely with my average looks and brains!
But as God has ALWAYS done in my life, He loves to give me my heart's desire especially when it is for my good and His glory.
My wife and I both had told God that we were done dating, and if He wanted us married, He'd have to figure it out.
Less than a year later we were married.
She is my best friend, and actually was my client and a friend for years before we dated. I literally talked about everything with my clients when I cut their hair. Several times they thought I was lying when they asked me if I were dating someone, the answer was "no" and their next appointment the answer was "yes, I'm engaged!"
That is my LOOOOONG way of saying that she knows I LOVE women, and looking at them; I was a COSMETOLOGIST and a NURSE for pity's sake!
As homely as I am, in those professions I had several opportunities to be unfaithful, but I was always smart enough to tell my wife about them.
People do shtoopid stuff all the time, and I have been fortunate in that my best friend and I have always been able to talk about anything. Lol, not without some raised voices at times, but always with the knowledge that we were in this marriage for the long haul.
Perfectly stated my friend. It eliminates the need for my post! Too bad I don't type even slower, I could have spared you all my drivel!
I know I've said this before on these forums, and I'm sure I'll repeat it again (and it bears repeating and is not mine originally), "You can have the same experience with a variety of women, or a variety of experiences with the same woman."
See, this is why I never married. If my wife asked me a question like that, I'd say, "Are you kidding? Of course I'd boink Selma Hayek. She's wicked hawt."
There is a (diplomatic?) way that I have probably said that to my wife over the years. Well, diplomatic as far as I am concerned. It was probably stoopid to say it at all, but it don't matter none; the War Department reads my mind anyway.
I could never get away with having an affair because I'd be confessing on the phone before I even got home!
We discuss EVERYTHING, lol. That is the main reason I consider her my best friend: we can discuss anything about anything and still be best friends even if we want to kill each other while we are discussing it!
I pray God makes the beauty of all other women, pale in comparison to the beauty of my lovely wife. She is truly, a Proverbs 31.
"She's pretty enough. Not my type, but I can see how others would be attracted to her" was about the best I could come up with.
After 20 years of good times and bad, at this point we can both answer those questions honestly because they don't count. Now I'm much more likely to get "If you can meet Selma and talk her into it, go right ahead" knowing exactly how much a chance of that is. Just something else to good naturedly tease each other about.

I love this post. You can not be more blessed than to have such a wife.

When a question like this comes up, I say "You mean if I couldn't be with you?" I mean that sincerely, and it seems to work OK.
The rarest of Rubies. Trust me, there is no bigger complement I could say about her other than the fact that she puts up with me.
She is either a Saint or a bit crazy, cuz I think she actually likes too.
My solution is to pick a woman who looks something like my wife. She's a brunette, so I say, "Selma Hayek, because she's just like you." That annoys her and pleases her.
Selma Hayek & Rachel Griffiths are both beautiful. Just my observation....

The correct answer is "time machine and young Sophia Loren."
SWMBO is going to understand that me building a time machine in the garage is as silly a prospect as me turning Sophia's head (at any age.)

Sophia Loren literally bumped into me outside a jewelry shop on Winter St in Boston around 1979 or 80. I was walking up the street, head down as the wind was blowing in my face, and I didn't see her driver letting her out of the car and we walked right into each other. Boom. And she was gone just like that. But I swear I can still feel her breast hitting my left upper arm to this day. What a thrill.

When we were kids everyone had that Farah Fawcett poster, or they liked another one of Charlie's Angels or Wonder Woman. Not me. My friends thought I was nuts, but I liked Shirley Jones, who they only knew as Mom in the Partridge Family. But I had seen Elmer Gantry, and they hadn't.
My friends all had the Farrah swimsuit poster too. Well, as a kid I'd seen Gaslight, Notorious, Casablanca, and many others and had an infatuation with anything this lady was in (still have a thing for that nordic look):
