What precisely is my prejudice? I'm dying to know! That men that talk about the attractiveness of their wives are the ones that usually should be thankful that any woman would put up with their sorry ass. That one?
Do you know how incredibly hard it is for me to find a date because I'm not a 10???? Despite all the stereotypes of men being pigs, women are 100x more superficial than guys are.
You've said this a few times on this board and you know what? You're stereotyping women and what they desire. I care very little about a man's physical attractivenss. I assure you. Honesty, integrity, ethics, and PERSONALITY appeal to me.
I can't even bring an "ugly" girl to my work party, because all the women at my work will give me endless s*** about why I was with that "ugly girl". Forget the fact that she's way cool and all....
Yes, women can be catty. God knows I am, at times. Did you miss my point? Husbands that make jokes about the physical attractiveness of their wives are looooosers!
It's vain now to want physical perfection as well as all the rest. I'm going to stop working out. ;)
While I suspect physical bodies are mutable I think the person in question controls the body not their spouse. Though if love is perfected the desires of the other will be as real to you as your own....for both of you.

Actually, I think vanity comes into play more in the belief that you will get to "warp" the appearance of your significant other in order to suit your own tastes.

Huh? What does this mean?
I mean that you can control what your own body looks like. That's all. Again, only a theory.

But that doesn't jibe with the doctrine at all, Nehor. The teaching states rather plainly that "we will have perfect bodies." Well, perfect to whom? We'll all be Gods, so doesn't that essentially extend to us a kind of carte blanche of "perfection"? If your wife's idea of "perfection" is to look like Darryl Hannah, and yet you'd prefer more of a Pamela Anderson-type, whose notion wins out? Would you, as the priesthood holder, prevail? Or is it as I suspect, which is that *everyone's* subjective notion of "perfection" wins out, and you just get to see what you want to see?

I get to be an arrogant bastard again....YIPPEE.
Darryl Hannah and Pamela Anderson look like crack whores compared to resurrected beings. Our notion of what we like will be blasted away in a vista of equally yet distinctly beautiful beings.

Then you married a strange woman.
We're talking about physical age, not her perception of your mental and/or emotional age ;)
