My wife told me the women in our neighborhood are "intimidated" by me. In reality, I'm a kitten. Just a big, mean looking kitten.
:tongue:
I wrote a lengthy list of the incidents from my life that met the definition of objectified.
It's all in the context, isn't it?
I'm very easily flattered, so I tend to take guilty pleasure in it. The drawback is my wobbly self-confidence leaves me susceptible to flattery. If anyone ever meant harm by it, I'm unaware of it. However, my filter for unkindness directed at me isn't altogether keen.
Sign me, "Trophy Husband."
My experience with the tough looking big guys I had, were teddy bears around little me and some were a Godzilla when necessary. I love all that play in motion.
I like playing with big things, big men, heavy duty stuff..it is hot and exciting.
Happy your marriage is great! many more blessings!
