Is your partner the apple of your eye? (Particularly asking men)

Asked by chelle21689 (7907points) May 9th, 2013 from iPhone

I don’t know if its just me but for me to be really attracted to a guy I need to see how his personality and attitude is. I notice a hot guy but that’s just about it.

My bf to me is the best looking although I know there are other hot men. I don’t look at guys the way I do with him. When I’m dedicated to someone they just grow to be the apple of my eye. Are men like this with the woman they love or is it a rare thing?

I see hot guys which are rare and it kind of wares off. Wanna know something funny??
When I first saw my partner (now) I thought he was handsome and even took a close look but I was in a relationship at the time and forgot about him a while after. Thought nothing of it.

It wasn’t until several months later I officially met him and was single and was like “Wow!!! He’s soooo cuuuuteee” And sparked an interest between us. Yeah I must admit physical attraction played a big role at first for us both. I then realized I have seen him before and he was that same guy I checked out a long time ago at the bar lol

It’s just funny comparing the two. I didnt have interest pursuing this cute guy while I was in a relationship vs my reaction to meeting him again when I was single

I’m like that.
My ex was gorgeous when I met her. 2 years later she had put on quite a bit of weight and I still thought she was gorgeous.

My sweetie definitely makes me feel that I’m the apple of his eye.

For guys it takes practice, at least in my case. I’m 30 years old now, and have only just really got to the point that I can be like that.

It requires an actual conscious decision for me to not look. If I don’t think out loud to myself to not look, I will look automatically.

I need to actually remind myself that I am not interested. I actually have to say to myself “shut up dick, you have got us in to enough trouble already”. I often remind myself of the movie Pulp Fiction, when Travolta is talking to himself in the mirror, trying to convince himself that he is not going to fuck the bosses wife.

It is hard to explain, my eyes seem to like different people than I do. I can walk past a $2 STD infested crack whore, and while in my mind I know I want nothing to do with someone like that, my eyes and dick still say to me “dude, but its only $2!!! turn back”.

I would never cheat on my girlfriend, and never have in the past nor plan to in the future, but it takes discipline. Even If I got drunk I would not cheat, but if I stopped reminding myself of my priorities and standards, then something would happen for sure.

I will be walking down the street with my girlfriend, and I can see some hot girl in a cute red dress and blonde hair, really calling out for visual attention, and I have to think to myself “oh, she looks good.. no wait, don’t look back, It is just an ass, you have seen plenty of them before, you can afford to miss this one, good, good job, see you did well”.

If I could choose any girl, I would choose my girlfriend, she stirs up feelings and urges inside of me that I did not even know existed. However, while my dick knows it can get to go on the best ride in the park any time it wants, it still gets curious when I walk past the old busted tea cups ride.

MIlo here: Not particularly but she does love, honor and obey me at all times.

No. She is the fuzz of my peach. Occasionally the pit of my prune.

I completely get where you are coming from here. This is how I knew my boyfriend is the one. I just don’t ‘see’ other men anymore. No one can compare to him. I think he is gorgeous and wonderful and amazing. I feel incredibly lucky to have him. I often have to pinch myself to realise he’s with me.

My husband WAS the apple of my eye until I realized that it was A BAD APPLE!

@chelle21689: That’s 7 replies, 2 male, and one actually did agree. Bit early to declare your judgemental gender stereotypes vindicated.

Female here: When I am with someone, he will be it for me. I enjoy smelling them, looking at them, being with them, f***ing them. He is the apple of my eye. I was always that way. When the rose colored glasses come off, when I get where I’d rather be home watching TV then being with this person, then I know that it’s only a matter of time until I am going to be out of that relationship.

I don’t have anyone at the moment, but when I used to, she was on my mind all the time, and I never had a single romantic thought that didn’t revolve around her. I always was far more dedicated to her than she was to me. We broke up because I felt taken for granted.
It’s been well over a year since our breakup now, and she’s still special to me.

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

She is but at the moment I do not think am not. My bad.

@Fyrius why so serious?? *in my joker voice

Rarebear's avatar

No, the apple of my eye is my telescope mount.

SavoirFaire's avatar

Absolutely. My wife is more attractive to me than anyone else is. It’s not that other women aren’t attractive, it’s that none of them would win in a side-by-side comparison. I suppose that’s just what happens when you’ve associated so many good things with someone.

^^^Swoon. And you write villanelles also.

I just thought you wanted to know how I got these scars.

Paradox25's avatar

As a guy it’s similar for me. This is why I can’t cheat, have sex with a woman without really getting to know her, etc since I need to have a feel for any potential mate. I’m only casually dating somebody right now, so maybe I’ll get back to this question in the future, but for now I’d have to answer ‘no’.
