Commenting on attractiveness is different. Still, I prefer something genuine over something forced or scripted.
But if it is important to your partner, then whatever. You make concessions to keep them happy. Some women demand worship in a relationship. I guess you have to decide if dealing with that kind of ego in a person is worth it.
Spouse: "Honey, why don't you ever compliment my clothes or ask me how i'm feeling or tell me i'm pretty? (or whatever people ask, I dunno I never paid attention when I had girlfriends lol)
Me: Mmmm?
Spouse: "Hun?"
Me: Huh? *grunt* WHAT? what the fuck difference does it make? I married you, so you know you aren't ugly, and you know you're fun to be with. Why do you need to hear that shit fifty times a day? Get your tight ass over here, you SEXY woman. Lets suck face like we're fucking teenagers and shit.
*face sucking, sex* *all is forgotten for a day and a half maybe, then it repeats. AGAIN. AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN.*
Rage never learned why women need to hear this shit. HE grew old with this woman and never understood her to the day he died. The end.
