That's a really lovely photo of both of you Electra - you make a lovely couple and your flowers are absolutely beautiful.
LOL, my husband has gone grey over the years too and he also blames me for that!

Thank you Judith. Funny you should mention the flowers. I was probably the most disinterested bride you could meet (in terms of planning of the wedding) and I went to the florist and said that I didn't have a clue what I wanted. Then the florist laughed at me because she said I knew exactly what I wanted or rather what I didn't want! I was very pleased with them. The only change that I had was that I had originally wanted a round posy for myself and I ended up having a teardrop one because I was about 16 weeks pregnant with the twins at the time.
Typical men eh? They always have to find someone to blame. I have french doors in my dining room out to the garden and long heavy cream curtains either side of them. One morning I came down and they were on the floor all crumpled in a heap and the pole snapped. My husband was the only one that had been in there and I asked him what had happened. He said they just fell down but I'm convinced he was heavy handed when opening them because he likes to smoke in that room with the doors open. I said the very least he could have done would have been to pick them up off the floor and fold them. That sort of thing would never occur to him in a million years lol.

Oh that's very kind of you to say. I don't much like the photo of me because of the boob mishap lol. He's certainly not little...I think he's about 6'2 or 6'3 but he is balding. He's also got some grey hair since he moved to the UK too which he says is because of me (it probably is!). He's kurdish but I know what you mean about him not looking particularly Turkish/Kurdish. He has quite dark skin which he only has to look at the sun for a second and he will go really dark and I am very jealous of because I am so fair.
So I don't think he's too bad in the looks department but like we were saying - they all have their moments and he can really drive me around the bend at times. He makes me laugh and that's the most important thing because whether he is good looking or not, looks fade and then what are you left with?
Hi Electra,
Oh you can see your boob's squashed because of the way you're sitting - I wouldn't worry about that! At least you're natural - nothing worse than those women who have false boobs that look they've got two huge tennis balls stuffed under their skin - they look about as natural as those people who have their teeth bleached fluorescent white!
So your husband is 6"2"?! Oh, he's getting even better!! And he looks broad shouldered too! Oh FFS! Where did you find him? I just had another peep at him - just to refresh my memory, like - and I see you've had 166 visitors in the last day!!!! You better tell your husband to carry a stick with him when he goes out - he's going to have all the egots stalking him! I remember an old member on another site claimed her husband used to get mobbed by hordes of women when they were in the car - and he was a fugly weed! So goodness knows what's going to happen if all these egots hunt your husband down!
Seriously though, I think you do make a lovely looking couple, and besides being blessed with really good looks - you both look really happy together and very much in love.
Actually, I don't agree that looks always fade. They can do in some people, but very often men can improve with age! And with all the beauty treatments available for women, older women can still look fantastic. Of course, no-one is going look like they did when they were 20. But you take on a new more mature kind of beauty. I saw Lulu on TV the other day, and she's obviously had work done, but for 62 she does look good! And Heather Locklear who's 50 looks no different to 20 years ago! I really think that people age much less slowly than they did, say, 50 years ago. Fifty years ago a 40-year-old woman would look about 70! She'd be all stout and matronly with a tight little grey perm, and wear very sensible suede loafers with thick American Tan stockings, and a neat floral dress made of Wynceyette.
I think genes are important too, though you can't really buy those! Good bone structure, fortunate genes, good living and a sense of humour - and you'll never look old.
Of course, if you married someone and their looks did fade (they wrinkled up, lost their teeth, face caves in) well, even a good personality isn't going to make you fancy that! You might still love them (like an old comfy pair of slippers) but you wouldn't want to show them off.
I have to say that I do get surprised sometimes when I see women who are just about 40 and they look about 70! I don't watch Jeremy Kyle, but if you want to see what I mean take a look on there. My God - they look TERRIBLE! They're usually very obese, with just a few yellow/brown teeth (which makes their mouths sink and collapse) and they just look old, haggard and wrinkled - and cheap with all the ugly tattoos. And the men are just as minging. So imagine being married to someone who looked like that - and had their sort of personalities! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep all natural...I've seriously thought about reductions in the past but have heard a few horror stories and I'm inclined to think "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" so have resisted. I was glad I had when the children came because I wanted to try and breast feed which I am not sure I could have done if I had had the op.
Yes he's about 6'2 and is broad shouldered. You do make me laugh...you can look as much as you like...and so can all the EGOTs (he would love the attention, he's a right flirt but then so am I apparently!!). I was introduced to him through some Turkish friends of mine in London...actually an English friend of mine was going to Istanbul on holiday on her own and I was concerned about her so my friends arranged for him to be her guide. They didn't tell me that he didn't speak English and she didn't speak Turkish and so I ended up being the translator over the phone every day. That was how we started talking and then we met the next month when I went on holiday and it all grew from there. Not your typical introduction. I had not long been out of the relationship with my previous Turk and was not at all interested in getting involved with another one and I think he liked the challenge if I'm honest. He was used to a lot of girls following him around like little lost puppies and the fact that I couldn't give two hoots interested him.
Yes there are some beautiful older women (and men) around these days. I watch Jeremy Kyle from time to time...it amazes me that people like that exist. I always think it's strange that they all have disgusting teeth too and they all look like they've been dragged through a hedge backwards. I mean you would think that of all times, they would do themselves up a bit when they are going on tv!
I would love to have my teeth bleached white though...I'm very fussy about teeth if you hadn't guessed

Oh I wouldn't have a reduction if I were you - it really is a major operation - and if it happened to turn out wrong you'd so regret it! If you ever did think about it in years to come, check with the GMC and find a proper Plastic Surgeon - never use a Cosmetic Surgeon - they're little more than GP's. But just wearing a well-fitting bra can make all the difference, I find. I've always been busty (E cup) which these days is not actually that big - I've seen J cups and all sorts in the shops! I've always worn a bra in bed (most of the time) as I find it supports the breasts and they don't get in the way. It's also helped to keep them from drooping. Obviously, they're not as high as they were when I was 20, but they're not droopy by any means - and I put that down to them always being holstered up. I'm so used to wearing a bra 24/7 that it feels strange when I take it off!
Oooh, by the way, I did another inspection today (statistic purposes!) and you've now had 172 views! I'm going to look again tomorrow! Actually, some clever women might have printed your picture off so they can view in secret! LOL Some weirdo did that to me years ago when I went on a dating site. I'd already told him I wasn't interested in meeting, and he replied back saying he understood, and by the way, hoped I didn't mind, but he'd printed my picture off and put it on his desk! He probably didn't do that at all - he just wanted to irritate me! Some really oddballs out there in cyber-land!
Talking about teeth - I'm the same. I cannot BEAR bad teeth! I hate them. I always floss mine before brushing, and I use two toothbrushes (which my aunt thinks is a bit OCD of me) but I I use the normal one for regular brushing, and the electric one afterwards. I just like that lovely feeling of pearly teeth. I love them looking all white and clean, but I hate those fluorescent white teeth - like that Jodie woman's (the model with the bent nose) Oh, they look like joke teeth! Why do people have them made so white! It looks terrible - and cheap. Just normal white teeth look the best in my opinion. If you want to brighten your teeth up (it won't make them bright white but will 'lift' them) if you dip a cotton bud into Peroxide and dab a little on your teeth (careful it doesn't go on your gums) that will make them look whiter. I do that occasionally. Those whitening systems they use in dentists are only peroxide anyway. I know they apply lasers to help it penetrate, but the main ingredient is just peroxide. They won't tell you that, though, in case you go down to the chemist and buy a bottle for 50p!

I don't trust myself to do that....I'll probably end up burning my mouth ha ha. I have quite sensitive teeth though and I just can't get on with electric toothbrushes but I do brush my teeth quite hard and I like them to feel really clean too. I also think it's important to clean your tongue but a lot of people don't do that. I don't feel like my mouth is clean if I don't clean my tongue.
Ha ha Jodie Marsh...another Essex girl that makes us all look bad. Yes I know what you mean about her teeth.
I got measured for a bra a few months back and I was a 34H! That is another thing that prompted me to join weightwatchers. I was a 34F before the children and I was unhappy then. I do think that they are slowly going down again so hopefully they will be better as I lose weight.
PMSL about your statistical research. I'll have to send him to you so that you can do a proper inspection (for photographical moderation purposes). We don't want anyone to say that the picture is photoshopped or anything after all.

Hi Electra,
Oh, I've got a tongue scraper too! I always use that just before I brush my teeth, and then I give my tongue a little brush too. I also gently brush the roof of my mouth - and I gargle.
Did you know that you shouldn't actually brush your teeth too hard, especially in an up and down motion? You're supposed to brush them side to side, and then gently brush the gums. If you brush them too hard it can be harmful to the enamel and also harm your gums. Out of interest, do you spritz your tonsils? Only joking! Although I dare say some fresh mouth fanatic will invent a tonsil spritzer for all those germophobes out there. Like me!
Oh, Jodie Marsh - I think she makes everyone look GOOD! What I can't understand is, besides her looking so terrible (like a man in drag) there is absolutely nothing sexy about her whatsoever. I think the same about Jordan - or Katie Price - whatever she calls herself now. She's got as much sex appeal as a slug. The pair of them are totally sexless. Do you know what I mean? Like, take Barbara Streisand, even though she's got an ugly-ish face, men find her really sexy. But Jordan (who is pretty, really) and has those huge false boobs - has no sex appeal at all. You just can't buy sex appeal - and women who have huge fake breasts obviously think you can buy it. I've also noticed that usually, it's the very plain women who have all the huge breast implants etc. People like Kate Moss don't need all that to look sexy and beautiful. And there's something soo desperate-looking about women who have all that surgery - similar to men who wear badly fitting toupee's. Or dye their grey hair jet black, and look all peculiar! Especially when they've got light brown eyebrows!
I have to say - an H cup is rather generous. Hopefully, you'll get back down to an F, which isn't too bad. That's one up from an E (which I am) and I can cope with it. I used to be a DD cup, which I much preferred to be honest, but I'd squeeze myself into a D cup sometimes, and end up looking like a I had a double-decker. It looked terrible. I just wanted to wear a pretty bra - even if I had to squeeze into it. But they now do really pretty bras in all sizes, so I'm not so bothered now. Also, I'm quite tall (5"8") and quite broad - I'm 38" chest, so a large cup doesn't look too big on me if that makes sense. Although I have had some horrors when I've seen my reflection in a passing window! Anyway, the best thing to do is be thankful - some women pay thousands for large breasts - and they'll never have the natural ones however big they go.
Oh, I hadn't thought about you sending your husband over for an inspection! Haha! Now why didn't I think about that!
I could set up an inspection room with magnifying mirrors, cameras - the lot! I'll make it look all clinical and professional - I'll wear a white coat and might even try and get hold of a stethoscope to make sure my heart's beating normally!
Shall I look in my diary to see when I'm available? Oh, hang on! I've just seen - I'm available now! That was handy!

you need to patent the tonsil spritzer idea fast before someone else develops it and makes a fortune
I do brush from side to side but admittedly I am probably too hard. You just reminded me I have a dental appointment on Friday - I've only just got around to changing dentists and have my first inspection. I know I need a couple of fillings so that will be something to look forward to. Actually I'm not a nervous patient but I think it must be awful if you are. My dentist actually advertises that they do something or other for nervous patients (I think it's hypnotism actually) - I'd personally be more scared of the hypnotism than the dentist! Now what does that say about me...probably that I like to be in control ha ha.
I see what you mean about sexless women and I think you hit the nail on the head when you said about desperation...it is a very unattractive quality. I have a friend that can't understand why she can't find a man and I have had to nicely tell her that is because she is too full on. A male friend of mine went on a date with her once and he told me that they hadn't been out 5 minutes and she was talking about how she would like to get married in the future. He said that he couldn't get out of there quick enough - he felt like he was on a date with a bunny boiler
Wow you have a good figure Strawbs, tall and in proportion by the sounds of it. Is Ertie tall too??? I'm only 5'4 and I have a small back but big cup size and I carry weight around the stomach and bum so I am very hourglass. My legs are quite thin though and everyone comments on them...they are probably my best feature. I think that my boobs always make me look bigger anyway because all my clothes look like tents. I'm not one for wearing a lot of skin tight stuff and I have a high cleavage so I don't like low cut things either. I think I'm probably a bit of a prude (but I hide it well!) lol
Now settle down Strawbs...I can't have you giving my husband the plastic glove treatment...he will probably enjoy it, especially as I now know that you are a tall, slim blonde with two of his favourite things in life.....mirrors and cameras! We can't have these men thinking that they are something special now...we have to remind them every day how lucky they are to have us don't we?!

Hi Electra,
Oooh, I wonder if people would buy into a tonsil spritzer?! I bet some people would!
Haha, you made me laugh about the hypnotism - I too would hate being out of control! I actually don't mind the dentist at all, but Ertie's not keen! He had to have a filling about 6 months ago, and anyone would have thought he was going in for major surgery! I think a lot of people get nervous of the dentist due to the smell and the noise of the drill. When you think about it it's not really that painful. I've had a filling done without anaesthetic, but it was a very small one, so didn't touch the nerves. Ooooh, if it touched the nerve that would be agony!
I agree with you about desperate people - it's SUCH a turn-off! I often wonder how some women fall for some of these Turkish men who bombard them with 1000 texts and miss-calls a day after they've only just met! Yet they seem to LOVE it! Even if he looks like a weasel turtle!
Ooooh, I'm not so sure I have a good figure, Electra! But thank you for the compliment anyway! I suppose I'm quite lucky in that I'm fairly tall, which always helps hide the excess weight! And like you, I have an hour-glass shape, which I do like, I have to admit. But when I gain too much weight my face balloons for some reason - and I hate it! Some people can gain weight but still have a slim face, and somehow they seem slimmer than they are. But if you put weight on your face everyone can see you look fat! Grrrrrr!
Unfortunately Ertie isn't as tall as your hunky husband! Oh, I do like tall men! Ertie's 5"10" - well, that's what he says - but I'd put him just slightly under that. Men always exaggerate their height, I've noticed. Or add the 'half inch'! I come from a tall family, so am used to tall men. And there's no doubt about it - tall broad men look fantastic in whatever they wear. And they make you feel so protected too. It's also great being able to wear high heels and still be shorter than they are. Did you know that tall men also tend to get better promotions at work and do better in their careers than short men? It seems unfair, but it's true. I suppose it's because tall men have a presence about them - especially when they're broad too! I have noticed that short men tend to be quite cocky - probably to make up for their lack of height. Or they try to adopt a funny persona - rather like Ronnie Corbett!
Hell to me would be a short, skinny, hairless weed. And I could never be with a man that I could throw over my shoulder! Eeeeew! Another thing I find terribly unattractive about a man is when they have very close-set eyes. I know it's only an old wives tale, but they say that if a man has close-set eyes he'll be mean with money. I don't know if that's a load of nonsense - I've never dated a man with close-set eyes, but that's what I've heard. And there's nothing worse than a mean stingy man! Eeeew!
Your handsome husband doesn't look the mean type at all. Besides being really handsome, he looks intelligent and good fun. You can sometimes tell someone's character just by looking at their face can't you? That's why warm, kind, generous people keep their looks: their personalities set in their face. I think you can also get an insight into a person's character by looking into their eyes. Eyes always give people away.
Anyway, I'm sure your husband knows he's handsome, so don't go telling him he's got a fan club! I haven't checked today, but last time you had 172 views (and quite possibly some members have printed his photo off and put it by their bed) so you could start a little business out of this. Maybe you could start auctioning off his socks on eBay? Unwashed of course! What could you start the bidding at? £19.99? Put his picture up on there with a picture of a well-worn unwashed sock and you'll get the money rolling in - I bet! All the egots will be enter into a vicious bidding war - I guarantee it! Of course, don't tell him you're auctioning off his sock - just tell him the washing machine ate it. Cos washing machines eat socks eat single socks don't they?! Another one of life's mysteries...............the vanishing sock!
