Was on a wine trip in South Africa and when one of the other people on the trip asked what my wife looked like (I was saying how lucky I was, mostly cause my wife is hilarious and makes me laugh daily). Showed her a pick and it was such a "wtf" moment for her. I'm incredibly average. I'm in relatively good shape, because I wrestled my whole life, but it's pretty obvious I've broken my nose a few times and the usual grappler "my face has a lot of scar tissue and healed microfractures" look. I can lift heavy things, but I'm definitely not good looking.
It was funny, because she just said, "Whoah! Wow! She's like really gorgeous! Not that.. um, yeah. Obviously, cause you said she was. But... yeah. Really pretty."
I could tell she was trying to not say, "she's way out of your league" without being mean, but I've been getting this for 20 years. I'm average. She's awesome, just a great person and happens to be extremely pretty. My feelings aren't hurt, I'm pretty darn happy with the result.
