I can't disagree with you on it being a matter of semantics. You are right. There is a line though when you realize that those aggravations become more or less little quirks you come to love over time. That doesn't absolve us of communicating the big problems, the ones you can't just shove under the rug. We pick and choose what our real important issues are, ultimately realizing that some battles aren't worth having.
I wouldn't mind my SO commenting about another woman, I would however start feeling put out if it became the highlight of our conversation or a repeating topic. If I never heard a positive comment about my own appearance I would be wondering and wanting to bring that into the relationship also. Of course, we cannot revert back in time, we cannot all have perfect bodies etc, but we can all work on how we project our own image. Here is where you choose where you feel you can bring yourself to settle, can you ignore the drooling or does it need to be given more attention some how.
There may not be a perfect man out there, but if he is a good listener and is willing to work to make our relationship grow..I know I could settle on that.
