Say It Out!

The original conversation was in mandarin, and the word they use is 鱼尾纹 and after googling I learn it is called crow feet wrinkle in english... so here it goes..

******************************************

Man: "The crow feet wrinkle is around the eyes (gesturing his own temples), especially after a person's skin get loose and ageing"

Woman: "So you mean I have wrinkles?" (a little nervous and annoyed)

(The man saw her expression and hug her by the waist immediately and started cooing her)

Man: "Of course not, your skin is so good and u look so pretty!!! Of course you dun have any wrinkles on your face.." (and kiss the woman)

I overheard this conversation on my way home in the train. The man is in his mid or late 30s and about 160-170 pound, the woman whose accent should be from china is also about 30+ and seems to weigh about 130-140 pound. No offence on this detail description of their physical appearance, but merely to give an idea what I see..

I was smiling when I heard the conversation.. cause I think they are a really cute couple.. Beauty is in the eye of beholder.. How true is that... Obviously they are not lengzai or lenglui standard, but the reaction the man has when he realize the woman is feeling uneasy with him mentioning the wrinkles, shows how much he cares and loves her.. Sweet talking, and hugging her in the public, obviously he doesn't care how others look at them, cause he is saying the things aloud, rather it is how she felt that matters more..

Soometimes, between couples, there is a reluctant to keep praising the other, or trying to say something nice after being together for a while. You probably feel there is no need or begin to take him for granted. There must be a reason why you first fall for him right? Why be stingy with a few sweet words? Tell him he is pretty or cute to you, his eyes, his lips, his nose, eye brows anything... We all love to hear good things, so all the more you should show it to the person who means a lot to you...

At least dun wait until he has doubt, and start asking this question...



.. it is probably too late by then..
