Women don’t always see themselves as beautiful the way their partners do.

The Plastic Surgery Obsession

I'm worried my girlfriend is becoming addicted to plastic surgery. She visits the clinic more and more often. After giving birth, she had her breasts done, which was fine, but now she keeps finding “imperfections” she wants to "fix." To me, she’s perfect as she is. She got lip fillers, which was subtle at first, but now her lips are bigger and not flattering. She’s also having her face and jawline filled, and it’s becoming noticeable—and not in a good way! Others have noticed too, but she doesn’t see it and keeps booking new appointments...

The Mask

She always wears makeup, even though she doesn’t need it. She covers her beautiful freckles with foundation and dyes her naturally blonde lashes black. She’s so much more stunning when she’s natural because she truly is a natural beauty.

The Scar

She wants to fade her C-section scar—but I find it sexy because it reminds me she gave life to our son.

Smooth Skin

My wife gets Botox and barely has any facial expressions left. At first, it was just the frown lines between her eyebrows bothering her, but now she’s injecting it everywhere. I told her, “Honey, I see you don’t have crow’s feet, but your eyes don’t smile anymore!” When she smiles, it feels like she’s wearing a mask.

Curves

She’s always dieting, but I love her just the way she is. I fell for her because she had curves—real, beautiful curves. To me, a woman is feminine when she has natural contours. The worst part is she started using this weight-loss injection that celebrities use. She barely eats because it suppresses her appetite, and she’s getting thinner. She’s happy, but I don’t want her to be thin…

Body Hair

She epilates, but I love her body hair. On her legs, underarms, and down there—everywhere. I wish I lived in the ’70s when nobody removed their sexy body hair...

The Spike

My girlfriend is a slim, pretty girl who recently decided to get serious about working out. Since then, she eats only chicken breast every three hours and spends all her free time at the gym. I work out too, but fitness is her whole world now. She wants to compete and is getting so muscular that it’s starting to bother me. Her friends shower her with compliments, but I’m starting to worry she’ll have a bigger back than me.

Silver

She dyes her gray hair, but I think she’d look insanely sexy with her silver locks.

The Nose

I love my wife’s nose. It’s prominent, not straight—and that’s exactly what makes it incredibly sexy. So what’s the problem? She decided she wants surgery! She’s been saving for a rhinoplasty for months, and my only luck so far is that the surgeon she wants has a multi-year waiting list. I’ve begged her countless times and even threatened to leave, but she won’t budge: she wants a perfect nose. I don’t get it—she’s lived 38 years with this nose, so why now? Plus, our daughter inherited her nose. What message does that send to our child? She’ll never believe she’s beautiful if she sees her mom getting plastic surgery.

Holding Me Close

My girlfriend had the most beautiful small breasts, but she got two firm watermelons implanted. I still mourn her old, perfect breasts.

Curvy

She says her butt is too big and wants to slim it down with exercise. Her butt is perfect as it is—there’s no need for it to be smaller.

Chocolate Tan

I’ll never understand why people go to tanning salons, and personally, I hate that my girlfriend regularly tans herself chocolate brown. To me, tan skin belongs to summer—you get sun-kissed when the sun shines and fade when autumn comes. It feels so off when she’s bundled up in a coat, scarf, and hat, but her hands and face are sun-tanned...
