My Husband REALLY does look like a Greek God. But when we first met, I was completely unaffected by His physical beauty - I was too busy arguing with Him, lol.
The truth is most people would describe Him as drop dead gorgeous, but I didnt notice it, at first, because I was always attracted to a different type - short, dark and Jewish, lol. He is tall, blond, and totally Canadien.
What got to me wasnt the looks - but the force of His personality, His mental strength. No one ever played me the way He does. Loving Him has changed my perception on what I think of as attractive. For some reason I now associate tall and blond with safe and sexy.
The way I view His looks is - they are a reflection of His personality. I adore Him - because I adore the person He is from the inside.
I know this because when He lost a lot of weight do to being severely injured and bedridden - my love for Him only grew.
He is a lot older than me (19y) so it stands to reason that His looks will go before mine. Or at least thats what I hope,, lol.
And I dont know why, because society certainly tells us that it should be the opposite, but I love the way His looks are changing as He is growing older - gray strays in His hair, a few wrinkles on His face...(and I think I have the right to enjoy them, because I had certainly worked hard to put them there,)
Its not how you look, but how you use it. He is comfortable with the way He looks (He wasnt always, but thats His story to tell), and yes, He is not above using His physical attributes - His size, His eyes...- to build intensity and dominate me.
