How do you like to be judged?

Each week I buy a magazine that has a regular spot which shows 4 photo's of ordinary women, and asks them about what they  are wearing. Lastly they are asked what they consider to be their best  attribute e.g. hair, legs, waist and so on. Last week on the letters page a woman wrote refering to the article. She  had asked her husband what he considered her best asset.  He replied "Your personality".  This lady was pretty miffed  with that answer, obviously wanting him to complement some part of her body..

Now, maybe I am in the minory here but if my husband had given the same reply I would have been thrilled..  In todays world where people are so often judged on what they look like, how big they are ,what  job they have or how much money they earn, this would seem to me to be the best compliment. After all it is surely more important to be beautiful on the inside and means that he loves her just because she is herself. What more can one ask ?
