Cherished Flaws: 16 Qualities He Loves, She Struggles to Embrace. With so much pressure on women’s appearances in the media, it’s no wonder many can be highly critical of their bodies. A recent message board thread asked husbands what their wives dislike about their appearance that they actually love about her. The responses were so loving and sweet that you may be unable to get through them without tearing up.
Here are Cherished Flaws: 16 Qualities He Loves, She Struggles to Embrace
Grey Hair
Many women rock their grey hair proudly, but knowing the judgment aging women get, it’s understandable that some want to hide it. One husband shared, “Her hair is going grey, and I think it’s just the best. She hates the idea of getting older. I love growing older with her.”
Big Ears
“Her ears stick out. She covers them with her hair. But I think they are adorable,” said one doting husband. It’s clear that when you really love someone, you find most things about them charming.
Talking a Lot
“I actually enjoy listening to her talk because her voice is like something crafted from god himself. She always says, ‘Are you even listening? I feel like I’m talking too much’ and then when I recite everything she said for the past 20-30 mins she kind of blushes,” said one commenter.
Crooked Teeth
One man gushed about his spouse, saying, “My wife has slightly crooked front teeth. She hates it and constantly says she wants to get cosmetic dentistry to fix it the moment it becomes financially feasible. I, however, love it. It’s one of the things I’ve always loved the most about her physical appearance because it’s so unique to her, and I find it so adorable. That being said, I would also have no issues paying for her to get it fixed in a heartbeat as well because as much as I love it, I also want her to love herself and be happy with her own physical appearance.”
Unique Sneezing
Some people have a unique way of sneezing that they’re self-conscious about. When recalling his wife’s sneeze, this man said, “I think it’s cute. She does a normal splutter and about half a second later this little feminine ‘choo’ that’s totally not part of the sneezy chaos. Its kinda like ‘haaa…spssst….choo’.”
Weight Gain
“My ole lady is concerned about her weighing quite a bit more than when we first got together. To that point, her cooking is what made me fat again. So, like, you made us both fat. Congratulations, we are in this together. Happy fat” shared one full and satisfied husband.
Skin Color
One commenter said, “My wife has coffee coloured skin..dark coffee if anything. In her culture (China), paleness is considered desirable and healthy for women. For me, I actually like her colour. She always worried about it but it was one of the things that attracted me to her.”
Singing Voice
“My wife talks about how she got kicked out of choir in high school [because] she can’t sing. And she can’t carry a tune in a bucket to save her life. But I love hearing her sing her favorite songs. When she gets so excited that she can’t hold it back. I could listen to her sing all day,” said one loving husband. There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing someone you love express joy.
Being Taller Than Him
In society, men are often expected to be taller than their female partners, but there’s nothing wrong with a tall woman. When talking about his wife, one husband said, “She’s 5 “10′ and is self-conscious. I absolutely love it (I’m the same height). She will wear heels and become 6’2 and it drives me wild. She’s an absolute goddess.”
Stuttering
One man shared how much he enjoyed his girlfriend’s speech impediment, “Every single time she would stutter it would give me butterflies. I can’t explain why but I thought it was absolutely adorable.”
Glasses
Sometimes, what you dislike about yourself is what someone gets excited about. “My wife normally wears [s] contacts but sometimes gives her eyes a break and uses glasses. She’s [self-conscious] of how they look on her, but I think it’s so sexy,” said one user.
Body After Baby
It can be difficult for some women, after having children, to come to a place of acceptance for their bodies. One husband shared, “My wife dogs on herself so much after having two kids. I think she looks amazing, plus the little baby pooch she has [has] meaning for me; she gave me two amazing kiddos.”
Accent
Learning a second language can be difficult, and some people feel awkward about their accents. One man’s French wife has an accent when speaking English that she’s conscious of, but he loves the way she speaks.
Crow’s Feet
In ads, women are always told to try to fix wrinkles around their eyes, also known as crow’s feet, but they’re a normal part of aging. “I love the lines on her eyes when she smiles. It’s so genuine and beautiful that I fall in love all over again,” said one husband about his wife.
Toothy Smile
One man shared, “…when she smiles (her real genuine smile), she sticks her teeth out. She calls it her ‘horse face,’ but I can’t help but love how adorable she looks. Especially when she tries to hide it.”
