I find that often the claims of being super attractive aren't true.
Also true the claims of the unattractive wife aren't true seldom is she unattractive typically not done up by other women/society standards ie no blowout, pedicure/manicure lots of makeup etc. |
Which part? |
Haha "wide" |

I'm a schlubby wife. I'm also awesome. I have no time for appearance BS; never have. I cut my own hair. I don't wear makeup. I'm overweight. I truly don't care. I don't have half the time in my day to do all the things I want to do, and I'm not going to blow hours on my appearance.
My husband loves me. I'm good for him. I'm good to him. I'm funny, I'm raising a great kid, I hold his extended family together, I do great things in the world, I make decent money and I'm better with money than he is, and all in all I have elevated his standard of living considerably since we met. He's more attractive than me but way more messed up psychologically. We balance each other in some ways. I'll be more likely to leave him because he's too stuck in some trauma and not willing to admit it or work on it and he's very moody, which is not how I want to live. But I've never ever had a problem keeping long term boyfriends. I'm great company, great in bed, and just all around a good partner. Not everyone is the kind of surface level shallow that you see on DCUM. |

Another schlubby wife here.
I'm a 5/6, fit but slightly overweight as we hit middle age. Sporty, not a lot of makeup, long hair in a pony tail. My husband is objectively very very handsome, a 10+. Turns out, he is also high maintenance. Depressed, cranky, irritable, particular, know-it-all type. I am easy going, creative, nurturing, a great cook, funny (people tell me this). All of these traits come through, people tell him how lucky he is to have me. |
Not likely |
Your brand of shallow isn't better it's only different. |
In my experience, you've got this totally backwards. |

I’m the frumpy wife married to a hot DH. He loves working out. I walk a couple times a week. He’s always dieting. I’m ordering dessert. He’s fit. I’m overweight 5’4” 170lbs. And I generally choose comfortable clothes over style.
Most men on DCUM state that men don’t care about a woman’s salary, but that has not been my experience. I’ve always dated more attractive men that make low average salaries. Like $100K - $150K. I make $300K, which provides for a much better standard of living than living on their own. DH makes less than me. It works for us. |
Your DH doesn't feel dependent and resent that the higher standard of living is based on your salary? |
|
You should be embarrassed at how dumb this makes you sound. Do you feel dependent on your husband and resentful that your standard of living is based entirely on his salary? Nope, didn't think so. |
| I have the feeling the lady posting nasty insults over and over again is no top model herself, LOL! In fact, I'm guessing she's not even married. |
Well your mom clearly has a great personality so there’s the explanation! Usually there’s some obvious explanation list this where it’s clear the woman is really smart with a great personality and the guy values that. If the woman doesn’t seem to have any great redeeming qualities personality-wise, always wonder if the guy is gay and figures she won’t ask too many questions. |
So in your mind does one need to get married to be considered non ugly? |
