Do Tell: What Do You Envy About Your Mate?

Does your boyfriend have amazing hair, does he always beat you at Trivial Pursuit or does he lose weight without even trying? If so, I would hate him too! Sometimes men just have it so much easier than women, so ladies, do tell, what qualities do you envy about your partner?

    He's so easy going about everything. I have about 5 mild heart attacks a day!

    OH, and I also am very independent (or try to be anyway) and I HATE when I try to do a "man's job" and there is something that causes me to HAVE to ask him for help. I hate that. But he knows I hate it so he just quickly answers my question or helps with what I need and leaves it at that.

    I also envy my hubbys musical talent. He can just pick up any instrument and play it, or hear something and play it. He bought me a beautiful acoustic guitar last christmas....havent picked it up once.

    Long eyelashes. The fact that he is a mathematical genius while I have to work my ass off at college math/business classes.

    He has to make an effort to gain weight. that drives me crazy. If left to his own devices, he'd look like a starving person.

    His willpower and his patience. The patience one balances us out at least. The willpower one just means I'm the fat wife of the athlete.

    He's such a good people person - the kind of guy who can put almost anyone instantly at ease - and he's also very a articulate speaker, golden-tongued, even. Meanwhile, I'm shy to the point that I might actually qualify as a hermit, and perpetually tongue-tied in public, even though I'm a better writer than he is.

    My boyfriend is extremely driven when it comes to working out. He reshaped his entire body and pushes himself to work out even when he's not training at the fire academy. I wish I had the motivation to build my 6 pack!

    he's soo calm about things. i'll rant and rave like a lunatic sometimes and he'll just shrug things off. that and he can eat and eat and eat and he's this skinny little thing. i joke with him and say 'you want me to be fat dont you' bc he'll just come into bed with an ice cream cone around midnight. its not faaaaaaaaaairrrrr

    He can read something once, remember it, and explain it 5 different ways. I have to lock myself in the library to study, and he's done in a hour and has a 3.5+ GPA! Oh, and he can bang out a 12 page paper in a day, research included, and get an 'A' on it. Grr.

    he's an incredibly talented artist, and i can barely make a stick figure recognizable.

    he's also thoughtful and deliberate, so g*dd*mn rational, when I have to seriously work to keep myself from flying into fits over stress.

    He also plays soccer 4 days a week AND goes to the gym and I have to work at motivating myself just to make it onto the treadmill a few hours a week.

    Ugh. Being perfection must be difficult, but I'm willing to bet that DATING perfection is just as obnoxious Smiling

    He can dance! It makes me self-conscious, so much to the point where I can't dance with him. Not that I'm terribly bad or anything, I just feel like I'm not "good" enough. Sigh!!

    The only thing about my bf I envy is his job. He can go into the office whenver he wants, work from home all he wants, etc. And when he does go to the office, its HUGE, brand new, and in the middle of downtown.

    His salary! Hehe. But that stems from him having the brain and willpower to be an engineer.

    He also is so forgiving and appolgizes so easily and well. I really envy his ability to admit when he is wrong and to not hold a grudge against others.

    Oh, the lists is endless! He's got a brilliant mind and his IQ is off the Richter scale, so I'm envious of how his brain works. He also speaks so beautifully; a fabulous voice with elocution that challenges the most aristocratic. I have some lazy speech habits and a bit of a New YAWK accent. He's also incredibly gifted, artistically. He paints like the masters, is a fantastic photographer, take computer graphics and 3D animation to new heights. He's really amazing.

    OH, my BF is a pig and looks great too! Everyone at my job laughs all the time cause I'm always b*tching and complaining that I can't keep food in the house. I go food shopping at least 2 times a week, for stuff I refuse to even eat. He eats two dinners every night and eats the most disgusting things in between and after every meal. It's the only way for him to STAY at his weight! Don't worry ladies........one day it will all catch up to them!

    Haha, how recognisable! KerryG hit it right on the spot for my last boyfriend: "He's such a good people person - the kind of guy who can put almost anyone instantly at ease." I'm not like that either, I guess opposites do attract!

    I also envy my boyfriends eyelashes. I would kill for long black eyelashes. It's not freaking fair. I also envy that he can eat whatever he wants and not gain a pound. I would love if he beefed up a little but with his metabolism it ain't gonna happen.

    oh gosh, where do I begin?! let's start with the vain things: I'm jealous of his shocking blue eyes that everyone comments on, and the long blonde eyelashes. talk about unfair. then there's the fact that he's so easygoing, nothing ever gets to him that much. he'll do what needs to be done, and then he'll just...stop worrying! a concept I still haven't grasped yet.

    because he's so easygoing, he's also really outgoing, so he gets along with practically everyone we meet. I am the most awkward girl you'll ever meet. my family is in love with him. he's also really good at math and reading maps but also really well-spoken and literate- as for me, well, I'm just well-spoken and literate. lol. he'll go to the gym 4-5 times every single week, and it's an active week for me if I hit the tennis courts once! sigh.

    lilwildone-I agree. It's not faaaaaaaaiiir!! Well, my sweetie has the most amazing skin(almost poreless and NO WRINKLES!! Even though he never wears sunscreen and he's 5 yrs. older than me!)and gorgeous blue eyes. And the most adorable bellybutton EVER. I have to work at keeping my skin clear, I have plain brown eyes, and a weird innie.

    He makes friends with strangers, he's so outgoing, and such a rational thinker! I'm the complete opposite. And I swear he can fix anything...whereas I will somehow find a way to break everything I touch at least twice.

    my bf is such a handyman and he's really laid-back. however, that can be a double-edged sword because when i want to out-and-out fight, he'll just listen to me and let me go off. C'mon man, give me some fire back! It's like everything just...poof!...rolls off his back and it's not a big deal.

    i have an internal meltdown 5 times a day.

    Like the others, my boyfriend eats four meals a day, snacks all the time, eats loads of processed crap and never gains a pound. I'm also incredibly high strung, and he's the opposite. He never yells or gets really pissed about anything. It helps balance me out, though.

    He is very chill, smart beyond belief, thinks about what he is going to say before he says it, he's a romantic, and he is so social.

    I am a tad stressed all the time, blurt things out, not a romantic, and am shy to an extent.

    He's so patient, laid-back and easy going! He's slowly rubbing off on me and I'm learning that getting worked up over little things is a waste of time. NOTHING ever ruffles his feathers though - it's unbelievable!

    His ability to have patience with ME. Seriuosly, sometimes I dont even have it with myself.

    ALSO-
    My bf's ability to stand up for himself and voice his concerns and frustrations to others while still being friendly and approachable. He never offends anyone it seems.

    The fact that he can go to sleep at the drop of a hat, and sleep soundly, whereas I have insomnia and am up at all hours of the night. Also, that he doesn't stress about what he looks like, and his beautiful BLUE EYES!
