“I wasn’t attracted to my husband” reels

What do y’all think of those reels where women post about their husband/boyfriend saying “he wasn’t my type”/“I wasn’t attracted to him at first”…

First impressions are not actually the final or best impressions. That’s okay—Rome wasn't built in a day. Women are often caregivers; some look for a potential partner because they don't think only about themselves, but also about the children they could have and a home to build. While certainly beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, the question is: if she is able to put in the effort to take care of herself or be aware of herself, why not him?

Women also look for men who are able to put in the effort to take care of themselves, as they will also be capable of being supportive partners.

That is very true and I agree with this sentiment. It’s very important in fact! My question is, is it appropriate or respectful to post about it online in this manner?

@carsmythSep 12

To clarify, I'm not saying men aren't caregivers—in fact, they are highly capable of it. It’s just about mutual effort and self-awareness going both ways, not undermining men at all. Just some food for thought!

@gabrielstcharles I wouldn't do it, not even anonymously. It's humiliating. Most influencers use clickbait for conversions. Even if it's anonymous, sooner or later the partner would find out they were being spoken of. People will forget, but the internet won't.

Yeah, it’s humiliating for sure. I wouldn’t want my partner putting something like this about me on social media, so I wouldn’t do that to my partner either.
