What is it like to be significantly less attractive than your s/o?

Question

I am asking this simply out of curiosity, for those that are less attractive than their partner, what is this like for you? Is it something that impacts you a lot or is it quite insignificant? On the other end of the scale, what is it like for those of you who are significantly more attractive?

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, they may be more attractive that the other and could have they choice of people but doesn't mean they will be good for them and just because you may be less attractive it doesn't make you any less insignificant that they are.

I suppose it kinda sucks in that it can create a certain balance of power depending on the mindset of the more attractive partner. I've seen the "I can go out today and get a new boyfriend/girlfriend I don't need you" type of toxicity

I hate it. And I get kinda upset anytime I saw our reflection together. Also why I don't like taking pics with my s. o.
*When I have one*

They might think I'm beautiful, but I don't care.
My own criticism of myself outweighs what they think of me.

I don't understand this statement, couples that are together are attracted to each other, beauty is in the eye of the beholder,

not at all thats the goal. I never believed in that "league" thing at all. If i wanted to talk to a fine lady i would. If she told me to fuck off ide fuck off. Usualy though much better looking guys than me didn't have the balls but i did. Goes a long way.

My SO is a 10. Guys are more attracted to her than to me. It doesn't bother me, actually I'm glad.

As a guy, I am, by definition, less attractive than my female SO. I prefer it that way.

No idea. I always feel I'm, and I'm always told I'm not.
Without good data, I can't ever know.

I know what's like to feel less attractive, well, I don't care.
I won't ever feel enough, that's a good thing.

My ex partner was like an 8 and I'm like a 4. I was also 4.5 inches shorter, as well. I never really thought much about our differences in looks, especially since she flirted with me first.

Perhaps you feel more submissive. I think it works if one partner is still reasonably attractive but the other partner is extremely attractive.

Be a kiss ass, good guy, with money. You need other things like money to make up for your lack of equal physical attractiveness.
