We are all our harshest critics, of course. But let me ask you something, just out of curiosity . . . are you putting your own appearance down around him? If so, he might just be saying these things about himself to make YOU feel better. And I'm only asking because I know you've down-talked yourself before, though you have no reason to!
There are all kinds of things I find attractive. For me, once there's chemistry, I suddenly find pretty much everything about the person attractive.

I'm not trying to but sometimes I say I'm fat around him and he gets frustrated. He tells me how beautiful I am but I guess I don't see it but I take his compliments.

I don't believe anyone can convince someone else they're good looking or sexy or anything if that person doesn't see it or doesn't want to see it in themselves.

He tells you you're beautiful but you don't see it in yourself.

I don't feel it's anyone's job to make someone else feel good about themselves. Give them compliments, tell them what you see in them that is attractive, encourage them to see their own beauty but when all is said and done, feeling good about yourself has to come from within yourself.

My husband is bald...and he's one of those men that looks damn good that way!

The grey in his Van Dyke

He has gorgeous blue eyes that always look so sad, even when he laughs, and for whatever reason, I just love his sad eyes.

He was a drummer when he was younger and did martial arts. His forearms are broad and very strong! Very attractive!

As to compliments and putting ourselves down, I learned a very important lesson many years ago. I had gained a bunch of weight and HATED myself, although he sincerely complimented me all the time, I was quite harsh toward myself and rolled my eyes at his compliments. Then he stopped. He got tired of being slapped down every time he tried to pay me a compliment.

For the next month my depression fell through the floor. I sobbed constantly and was convinced he hated me. We finally sat down and he told me what he was feeling. I told him how I felt.

He started back with the sincere compliments within the next week and instead of sarcasm, I thanked him.

I never knew how important those little compliments were, even if I could not see what he could. That's how I learned how to be gracious and grateful for all the things this man saw in me that sometimes I still can't see when I look in the mirror.

I hear I'm attractive....I don't see it. Im a size 6, I think I'm fat. We truly are our worst critics. Instead of arguing when I receive a compliment I just say thank you. If someone sees something in me....who am I to argue with them.

I still stay it all can be blamed on tv/magazine....we have a unrealistic idea of what is a perfect body. Or beauty. I try to remember the images I see are brushed....ummmm, I need to learn to brush my photos, lol!

I don't think you can convince him how attractive he is by telling him, just like he can't convince you.

Try showing him ;)

Maybe tell him what qualities he has that you like. The inner him.
