How is it that men want a beautiful sexy wife, yet the majority of men let themselves go right after marriage?

Now this is not about everyone, Because I don't fall into this. But I looked at a few of my married couple friends and they seem to fall into this. Now most of the women I speak of are a little overweight and frumpy looking. Well there husbands are really unattractive, no sexy bodies no sexy faces, old and aging but yet they feel like there women should drop a few pounds and be more sexy. Well how does that work when a man himself is basically old and busted looking. Most men actually become less attractive and age much faster then women so how is it they feel women don't want the same things. Like my husband and I both said from the start if you get all fat and start slacking off then we wouldn't be attracted to each other. But we agree it goes both ways. So why do men want a trophy when they themselves don't even come close to being one?

I've noticed that a lot of shallow men who want a hot wife are always gross to look at themselves. My stalker complained his dates pic was old and that his wife was a toothless hag... he was grotesque and wanted me on his arm for other men to see.

It seems women are more forgiving of age for men. Grey hair, etc are almost celebrated. I'm more attwctive at 50 than 40.

Lol. I've had similar thoughts. And not just their wives, but women in general. Lack of self awareness, me thinks.

[image deleted]P.S. I do appreciate a mature man though. Yum! (minus a big belly)

Now that's funny.

I find that some men have a real issue with their aging woman, and fail to see that they are aging as well.

It's a hyproctical thing but it happens a lot. And not just with that. It's normal to expect something you don't do yourself. And in some instances this double standard is fair, only in certain situations. But in this case, a lot of them know that they aren't too hot themselves but of course they are going to try anyways.

"Busted looking" 😂

Cause women have traditionally placed their value in their looks and men have only been too happy to comply.

Would not ever want a trophy wife. Give me someone that has a great personality first.

We're men. We're [b]born[/b] delusional. It's how we roll. 😏

Great question 👍

My observation has been that women are less concerned with looks than a man is. They married the man, not the body. But like you state, it's not a hard and fast rule.

Are you saying they should have a backup plan in case of divorce?

That's what you got from what she said...?
