“My husband is so hot!”

Anonymous
I would just say..."It's cute that you're so in love with your husband" and leave it there.

It is massively cringe. If your husband is really notably and exceptionally hot (and I hang around a lot of dads...it's unlikely!), people will notice without you saying it.


If it was true, she's probably heard it before. Teen girls absolutely joke about and with their friend(s) who have a "hot dad."


I think what some of you need to realize is these are dads likely in their 40s or 50s. Or older. You, middle age lady, might think your husband is hot. It's pretty few and far between that any normal teen girl who is well adjusted is checking out 45-50+ year old dads. If they are doing so, seriously you should be concerned.


Oy vey nobody said a teen girl is trying to sleep with her friend’s dad. But joking that a girlfriend with a notably handsome dad has a “hot dad” is hardly uncommon. Girls have eyes and a sense of humor, you know.


Totally. Me and the dads at the pool check out the teen girls at the pool and comment who is hot. It's funny.

Things I NEVER did as a teen girl and I've never heard my teen daughter do.

That is f-ing weird.


Okay. You’re wrong. But okay.


I guess my friends all had ugly dads.

But it's not cute and I dont feel that its cute. The people who do this are always trying to one up. I prefer "that's good you think so". I have zero feelings about it other than that it's annoying.

PP. Oh to me the "cute" is the faintest hint of praise that they are fishing for.

I don't mind tossing them a tiny saccharine compliment as long as I'm not commenting on hubby's appearance.

There's no good response to this. I can't even think of anything. I guess I'd probably just smile and nod.

I think it's a way for her to brag. She's probably the type who will never admit to having normal couple problems. And if they do, they just have hot sex and the problem is solved!

For me it’s mostly my personality, if I think my man is sexy I’m going to say it a lot. My girlfriends and I also tend to talk that way, we’re always discussing who we think is hot, if we find our men hot, etc. I try not to talk that way around people I know don’t also talk that way, but sometimes I slip up.


I did this in my 20s when we were all dating. But when it's a guy someone married and we're all friends and we're going to be hanging around together on the regular going forward? Skip it. It's juvenile. I don't really want to picture all the husbands/dads sitting around talking about which of the wives is hot and who looks good in their bathing suit. So I'm going to do them the courtesy of not doing it to them either.


Sounds like you need to lighten up. My best friend's husband lost a ton of weight and got in really good shape, now she talks about how much hotter he is, and I agree with her! He looks great. You can say these things in a friendly way that's not drooling over them in a bathing suit.

Whenever I read posts from people who can’t find friends, I think about suggestions like these. How on earth do you people with no social skills function in the world?


I was just thinking similar thing! Who keeps giving this staring advice to handle people?

Yep, my response would be "You should tell him often!"

Good for her! Appreciating your spouse doesn’t have to stop when you are married for 364 days or something.

One is cringe and one is pedo. Know the line.

What makes you so sure she wasn’t testing the waters? I’m not trolling. We went away for the weekend with the LAST couple we’d ever peg (no pun intended) as being into that lifestyle and on the second night after kids were asleep, drinking wine by the fire pit, the wife suggested she and I “swap beds” for the night. Would have been way less awkward if she’d led with a “my husband is so hot” (spoiler alert, he is not).

This! Why give her any other satisfaction? Just make her feel stupid.
