Is it alright if your significant other tells another he/she is attractive?

Question

Some say it's disrespectful, some say it's harmless. How do you feel about it?

Answer 1

My boyfriend makes jokes to me about which girls are hot, and which girls are NOT all the time... it's funny to me, and I like seeing what he likes in girls, so I can always cater my own look to his tastes in clothes and what not.

If he's telling someone they are attractive to their face, it's kind of putting the vibe out like.. "hey i think you're hot, and want to F**K you" I wouldn't really be feeling that too much.  

Answer 2

Of course it is.  It is no different than telling somwone else they are tall.  We all, married or not, find other people attractive so why not say so?  To pretend otherwise would be deceit.  Naturally I am not talking about coming on to them but just stating they are attrctive is no insult to a current relationship.

Answer 3

I think it's cool to compliment people if you think they are attractive no matter what the s*x. "you look nice tonight" or "you have pretty eyes" or "I like the way you had your nails done", might be just what that person needed at that time. It surely will boost their mood if nothing else. I see nothing wrong with it at all.

Answer 4

I think that it is disrespect especially if done in front of you.....I think once you start dating someone you should keep all your opinion on who is cute to yourself or tell your partner.....do not tell them  

Answer 5

Nothing wrong with it and my wife has no problem hearing me say it to another person.

Answer 6

Depends.............

Let's say your significant other is a girl, if she tells another guy he's attractive, that's OK

If she also says that because he's attractive, she wants s*x from him..........that's a problem.

I don't think it's a problem saying or thinking someone else is attractive, it's how you behave towards that person, (and the person your dating).

Answer 7

It totally depends on how its said and not what is said. People can say things matter-of-factly and others can flirt - the distinction is obvious.

Plus if you do not want to offend your significant other - you can use more neutral words to express yourself... surely thats all the compliment is - an expression of your opinion...

Just be respectful of each other's feelings. At the end of the day you know how you gf/ bf will take it and react - so what you say/ do should be said accordingly...
