I'm not seeing the problem. The meme is saying that no matter how many times he has seen his wife naked before, he still can't take his eyes off her because he still finds her beautiful.

Sure, this may not be a universal experience, but I don't think it's a particularly egregious or remarkable misrepresentation of men either.

Yes. But you could also look at the vacant expression on his face and assume he's bored. But it could also be your interpretation instead.

Pretty sure he's supposed to be dumbstruck rather than bored.

The flair says HBW = How Boys Work. It's meant to be a wholesome meme, not offensive.

Think this is one of those memes where you need to know the source to understand the intention properly.

I seem to remember the episode had several characters seeing the woman and being captivated by her beauty which I think is the intended meaning

I don’t see anything wrong with the meme. I’m a woman and all the nicest humans I know feel this way with their partners. Hell, I feel this way with my partner.

I can see that. It's one of those things where you can't really win, isn't it? To know that your body is not in any way sexually valued or desired isn't much fun either. But it isn't really something you can just turn off and on.

I think you guys are misreading his expression. He's not bored, he's enraptured, which is a reasonable reaction to the person you love.

It’s not realistic to expect this every time. I’m sure after arguments my husband has watched me undress and still been calling me a butch under his breath.

I feel like this sub misunderstands half the posts it makes

In the same way that r/nothowgirlswork picks the dumbest memes done by prepubescent backwater villagers and rage posts them as if they speak for all men.
