And this is definitely a dynamic we've heard so many times from men in relationships with women. They're like, I love my partner's body. I think she's beautiful. I think she's sexy. I don't see any flaws in it. But the woman cannot accept that. And she almost like hounds him about it. Like, how could you not see my cellulite? How could you not think extra, you know, flab I have around my belly is gross? They do not see those flaws. Like, they love you, they're attracted to you, they think you're sexy. They want to have sex with you. Like, they really and truly are not seeing your body in the same harsh way that you're seeing it.
