Someone has been watching a lot of t.v. Not that most of us wouldn’t love to be smokin’ hot…haha how many do you see out there? Yep, that is what I thought. Most of the moms I know are too busy trying to keep the house picked up, bills paid, run the kids to all their activities, and just stay afloat to spend all the time and money to resemble anything that looks smokin’ hot.

It is a rare day that I am awed by a smokin’ hot man or woman - most of the time, I see people who resemble me - average.

I would hope to God that my husband would always consider me “smoking hot.” Juvenile or not, I’d take it as a compliment right along with the subtle flirting he uses at the dinner table or when we’re having family time.

I try to keep myself up for the most part but even on a bad day (running the kids around, cleaning, etc.) he’d better throw in a compliment from time to time. Happy wife=happy life!

There is a blog I read regularly where the guy’s code name for his wife is “hot wife”. He often mentions how lucky he is to be paired with someone so hot. I bet if you met this woman on the street you wouldn’t think “hot”. You would think “nice mom”. The point isn’t “look at me I am married to a supermodel”; the point is “that average mom to you is hot wife to me”.

Someone said that the reason why they love Tom Hanks so much is that he makes you feel like his wife Rita is the most beautiful woman in the world. If you’ve seen Rita, then you know she has average looks but the way Tom Hanks carries on you would think she was Jessica Alba in the looks department. What’s smokin hot to you may not be smokin hot to someone else, so it all boils down to how the your mate feel about you.

All you jealous, lazy, fat people just don’t get it. You do things to remain attractive to your spouse, both intellectually and physically. If a man or woman works out and stays trim, you morons call them vain. Take a look in the mirror and tell me what you see. In my experience, it’s the people that are too lazy to do anything or make excuses as to why they have let themselves go, that do all the harping. Face this, we don’t care and are laughing at your envy and slothfulness. ALL HAIL THE HOT SPOUSES! The rest of you, eat another potato chip, go sit on the couch and shut up.

OK, many of you saw the pic of T yesterday, and I doubt many of you would use the term ‘smoking hot’.

If it were a term in my general usage, however, that is exactly how I would describe her.

To me, songs like Trace Adkins’ Hot Mama are perfect descriptions of how I feel about her, and that aint gonna change.

Example: She had a photo shoot last night and came home feeling all gross. I was in the room when she was changing into her PJs and told her that when she is feeling all gross is when she looks the best. Accurate statement, but she thought I was just being nice.

Exception is the wedding day. I had seen her look amazing before, but when that door opened and I saw her at the far end of the aisle, DANG that was the best I’d ever seen her!

In the twenty years my wife and I have been together I have never once told her or anyone else that I think she is beautiful or intelligent or that I love her. I don’t want her to feel like property or to have anyone believe that I am crass or classless. If she wants someone to tell her that she is attractive to her face or if she needs me to proclaim on a website that I like her in any way then we need a divorce. I don’t want any of the lesbians or wackos thinking that I could possibly love her, admire her, respect her, or want to care for her. Their opinions are more important to me than her’s.

Jeff Golden - see if your wife can stand up to that standard at age 48, after your wife has to deal with 3 more kids! And, sorry, no can do on the myspace site - that is only for folks who think too highly of themselves that they have to share their lives with the world for approval.

My husband and I were going through a rough patch several years ago and went to our pastor for counseling. Pastor told us that in his 40 years of marriage, they had both gained weight, lost hair & teeth and dealt with all the other pains of aging but with all of that, his wife is still the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen. He said when he sees a woman in a beautiful dress, it doesn’t tempt him to want to woman, he just goes out and buys his wife a dress like hers!

I think y’all who think this is a “shallow” topic are looking at it the wrong way. I think the point is whether your husband THINKS you’re hot. Me, I’m okay, pretty to most people, but certainly not “smoking hot” IMO… but my husband thinks I am. He often tells me I’m the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen. Personally, I tell him he has a rose-tinted brain, but it doesn’t mean I don’t like to hear it. He’s a singer in a band, playing shows, getting flirted with and seeing other beautiful women constantly, but they don’t hold a candle to me, as far as he’s concerned. shrug I’m a lucky woman.

I think it’s great that guys brag about their wives and think they’re beautiful or “hot.” With or without beer. ;)

insecure people. Why does it make you happy to be called hot, or to have a spouse who is hot? does it make you feel more worthwhile or something? Being called hot or calling somebody hot is so shallow. For every 1 hot well rounded emotionally stable buckhead betty, there are 100 hot gold digging train wrecks out there. I think its a much bigger compliment to say under your wifes picture “my wife: intelligent, not a emotional basket case, not selfish, caring, financially stable” etc. Who gives a f if some douche thinks his wife is hot. It doesnt mean she is. I just means he is blinded by love, or has low standards. Im just saying….I havent seen this persons picture

Teresa:

I think it was a fine topic. I think men need to realize they can boost their wives with comments like that-in private or public. There was nothing wrong with the comment, movie line or not and nothing wrong with him making that proclamation.

My husband and I personally do not see why folks use the myspace and facebook things, we are way too busy and don’t care for the whole premise of those sites. But for those who do and when it promotes their spouses in positive ways that is good.

After 10 kids, my husband still grabs me in a hug in front of the kids and tells them “their momma is hot.” We have 7 boys, 4 of those boys are married now and their wives thank us profusely for the way they were raised to be expressive and demonstrative with their love and affections.

I personally see all my faults, and know on good days I do look pretty good and on bad days, well….bless his heart for still seeing me with blinded love.

Recently, as I am on break from school, I was able to start my walking and working out again, when in school for RN, sometimes I have to give up the time to study and keep up or do clinicals, so a few pounds crept back on, as it started coming off again, it ramped up the comments and compliments from my hubby. He is sweet. He does not have to proclaim it to the world when he is always proclaiming it to me, and yet others know anyway.

First, let me say that yes I am a dork. I do have a facebook page to keep up with friends (my kids love it when I post stuff about them) and most importantly, I do think my wife is hot. She is the most amazing woman I have ever known and will ever know. Am I immature or cras for my comments? Funny how giving someone praise is now immature or cras. Was I bragging with my comment? Yes, I brag on her all the time because she is amazing. Frankly, I think more men would do well to brag on their wives more frequently. By the way, it makes my wife feel good when I say thinks like “wow, you are hot!” Truth is I am madly in love with my wife (have been since September 1991) and I am very passionate about making sure she knows it …each and every day. Gotta run… late for that dork convention.

I envy the women who husbands think their hot, even if they’re blinded by love. You should be thankful, I recieve more compliments from total strangers than I do my own husband. Even while I was pregnant, I had people coming up to me telling me how beautifully I was glowing, all my husband said was he was happy when I didn’t wear his shirts anymore. There is absolutly nothing wrong with a husband boosting not only his wife’s self esteem but his own by acknowledging how truly beautiful his wife is, even if she does have a baby on one hip and hair all a mess. I finding as the compliments go so does the marriage; tho thats only the tip of the ice burg. So proud husbands, go ahead and compliment the wife, let the world know how you feel about her, just don’t get rated R about it.

Theresa-I didn’t mean to come off so harsh. I just can’t stand to get into a debate with low life (no intellect) morons who only view women as objects and like to brag about how much money they have, how good looking they and their spouses are, etc. One cannot win an argument. If you disagree with someone like that you are automatically labeled as fat and lazy (and not to mention jealous). I am none of the above, but idiots like that will try to put a spin on your words. I don’t like to waste my time on them.

BTW, I have found that most of those who like to brag usually are insecure and feel like they have to put on a show. Many like to exaggerate their finances as well. It is especially easy when one can do so anonymously on a blog.

I’m thinking that your title summoned the idiots today. Maybe if you had a different title, but then included the quote in your blog you wouldn’t have attracted the riff-raff(sp?). I don’t necessarily oppose your subject. I would have liked to “talk” about the subject with those that are not so shallow. I just think your title invited many shallow minded folks.

My husband tells me how he feels about me every day in a dozen different ways. I don’t need public declaration of hotness. :-) Personally, I would be more than a little offended if he put a “smokin’ hot!” label on my picture in such a public way. It is far too sexualized for my tastes, and I am just enough of a prude to think that it’s no one else’s business :-) I’ve always been a little turned off by guys who feel the need to label their wives in such a way — because I get the feeling it’s more of a self-congratulatory thing (“what a stud I am to have such a smokin’ hot wife!”) than it is open admiration.

Nurse & Mother:

I don’t know why you feel so much ire and threatened by folks who blog or brag or exaggerate. Who cares? If that is the way they feel more secure, bless their hearts then let them. No skin off of anyone’s noses. Really, in the big scheme of things it really does not matter unless someone is out right lying and it involved them campaigning for office or what not.

Plus I have learned that some folks get on here and “act” in certain ways to just get a rise and response.

So you can’t really judge and know for sure if they have low intellect just by how or what they post. The best way to deal with them is IGNORE. I have raised my 10 kids with the mantra when they are aggravated by anyone is: Ignore it.

Well I waited all day to come read this….

To our Jeff I think you and T looked quite lovely in your pictures…Just the way a couple should look…In love and ready to take the next step. That you find her ‘smoking hot’ especially when she feels at her ‘worst’ is the best of all.

Regulars know I am not married so no I am not a hot ‘wife’. However I agree with many of the regulars that ‘hot’ is in the eyes of the beholder…I still think Donny Osmond is HOT,HOT,HOT…Goofy in College Road Trip…but even in those horrible clothes his character wore HOT!

Now there is a topic…who is on your ‘List’. Do you have a “list”. What do you think of those on your spouse’s list?

Now I told y’all yesterday I am fat..its ok I am. However, my children told me I am beautiful. A (man) at work stopped to tell me I looked great! A (woman) sent me an email telling me that I am her ‘hero’ because I make it all look so easy and do it with a smile, plus a great set of shoes! Does that make me less fat? NOPE. Does it make me feel good? YOU BET.

I saw that picture of me when I was ‘skinny’ and my Mom (bless her heart) said “what happened to her?” I felt like screaming “SHE IS RIGHT HERE!” Why would anyone think because my dress size changed I am a different person? I am still the loving, caring, friendly, intelligent, hardworking, responsible, person I was then…OK, I admit it, I am OLDER now.

Luv ya regulars! Take care.

A list, as in our fantasy list? I never even thought of that (you can tell how old and pruddisih I am) until one of my married daughters asked me last year if me and her dad had our “lists”. I said what list—-I thought like bucket list, or to do list or honey do, she laughed and said NO! The list you make of those you would love to “get cozy” with. She then proceeded to share her list and her hubby’s. I said well sure we have those celebs we each find attractive. She said it is a little more than finding them attractive, it is THE list of those we would like to …. you know.

But now that we are together for life, it makes me feel great when he lets me know (daily) that he still finds me attractive on every level!

CP - It’s not that she uses the word “like”. It’s because she uses the word “like” very badly, two sentences, and on a “mom” blog. So, is this the grammar you want mommy to teach to her kid? Assuming Theresa gets paid to blog here, and she does, you expect, no demand better writing skills.

Sorry to burst your hero mom bubble. Now, I fully expect you to reply with some rubbish “like”, get a life. If that is your plan, I already have one of those, unless you know where the life store is where I can “like” buy another, more shiny one.

That being said, I have a pet peeve with words too. Not really “like” since it’s just more of slang, but when “your” is used when it should be “you’re” or “there” for “their” or “they’re.” I see it too often & it bugs me. But I consider blogging more informal. I think if you have a problem with the manner in which any writer writes, you should just say so. Why call her stupid?
