I was an OW. I'm not prettier as the wife. She's pretty (like a composite picture of hundreds of women), and has very regular features. I'm definitely less symetrical!
I, however, definitely had a better body. I workout and stay fit and in shape, she was about 40 pounds overweight.
I'll stand firm that I have the better personality (although not morals). I didn't particularly like the wife when I met her (before I met her husband). She has one of those personalities that strikes me as disingenuous, so we never really clicked.
Sweet Cheaters cheating on their AP is actually really common.

Cheaters are messed up
Cheaters are messed upAnonymous wrote:The OW in my case wasnt stunning. She was cute enough - kind of like I'm cute enough. I think my XH got close to her because they talked and confided in eachother. He told me it was not about her looks, it was not a competition between me and her (to him. To ME, it felt like a competition that I lost). I'm sure she was more exciting in bed at the time - she was new to him.
On the inside, I feel like she was a major downgrade. He traded me for her. She is disloyal, dishonest, was screwing random other guys in her house while her kids were home when her husband was working night shift. She was "cheating" on my husband with other guys (yes, lol, what a sentence. Life is ridiculous). I was super jealous at first, but my husband really asked for and deserves that quality of woman. Not that he got her... they broke up and she is on to the next. I used to fantasize about having a confrontation with her. Now, I would have absolutely nothing to say to her. I massively upgraded my life, bought a much nicer home than my ex, am raising my kids, and succeeding professionally. As far as I'm aware, she still has a second job at Wal Mart.

Men cheat down but affair up. You don't hear of the cheating unless someone is dumb enough to get caught.
And many women who consider themselves in affairs are really just available partners for cheating. Big difference.
