Woman Asks How Others Deal With "Not Being Pretty" And A Former Marine Responds In The Most Beautiful Way

It goes without saying that today's beauty standards are entirely ridiculous. We are constantly bombarded with images of "perfect" women in the media, which gives us all—especially women—a completely unrealistic idea of beauty.

Women often feel pressured to strive for the airbrushed features of the models they see on TV, leading them to assume that those are the types of women all men seek in a partner. But is that really the case?

Recently, one woman sadly posted on the subReddit 'AskWomen,' asking how others dealt with "not being pretty." She received a beautiful response from an unlikely source—a former Marine (and man) who has dealt with body issues of his own.

Here's the original post.

And here is the brilliant reply she received from an insightful former Marine.

The man explained exactly how it feels for a man when he falls in love.

He describes what goes through a man's mind when he realizes he's attracted to a woman.

Awwww.

The man explained that to the man who loves a woman, she is perfect.

He says we only need to observe an elderly couple and the way the husband looks at his wife.

The man's words were both simple and beautiful.
