The thread asking what makes men attractive to women got me musing about the idea of overall physical attraction. And I thought a place where I’m anonymous and no one knows what I look like might be a good place to ask something personal.

Last year, for reasons I won’t delve into too much, I got more attractive. My husband was so happy for me, and I was thrilled as well. But something about it didn’t sit well with me, and I haven’t been able to tease out precisely what it is. Just wondering if anyone else has thoughts on this.

(FTR, I’m not saying I don’t want to be attractive. I’m just saying that the feeling of being attractive isn’t 100% warm fuzzy feelings, and I’m trying to figure out why because it seems like it should be.)
