Taking care of one's appearance to retain the spark in a relationship

[dave50]

I sometimes see couples where one of them obviously takes care of themselves by dressing smart and keeping slim and active but their partner is overweight and seems not to be bothered what they look like. Does anyone think that the ones who aren't bothered are risking their partner straying? If they cant be bothered to make an effort for their other half then surely they are asking for trouble. Yes I know it shouldnt matter etc but it does and we like to see our partners make an effort, surely it shows they care.

First shower of the day11.40 UK time?

///Seeing as both of us make no effort for each other whatsoever I can't see a problem. //

//I feel I've made an effort if I've remembered to brush my hair of a morning//

Off to the Club now..

LOL Lottie, I do have to remind him to get his hair cut though, I don't want to live with ZZ Topp.

[LoftyLottie]

11.40am Sqad because I am here by myself feeling a bit under the weather.
What is the problem?

Enjoy your club.

[LoftyLottie]

Ditto Boxtops. I hold him down and cut his hair!!!

[mccfluff]

i dress to please myself

[boxtops]

Woah, I wouldn't cut it, not brave enough - nor do the beard - the hairdresser even trimmed his eyebrows last time, saved me attacking them with the tweezers!

[mccfluff]

and i had my shower at 7.15 but beacuse i was getting ready for work, tomorrow i'm off so will be when i surface, which may well be 11.42

[LoftyLottie]

I am good at hair cutting Boxy. But he does his own beard. I like trimming the inside of his ears and making him yell!!!

(Can you smell me from there - I am really unclean???)

[LoftyLottie]

Ha, ha Fluffy.

After I have showered I am going out in the garden and will get filthy yet again!!

[boxtops]

I can't, Lottie, but then I've only washed my feet, gardening in bare feet makes that necessary...

I'll admit one of the main reasons I go the gym is to keep the lass thinking I'm hot! I've lost a bit of weight for this marathon and I know she prefers me with a bit more bulk so I'll be back the gym, and mcdonalds, next week! She does also prefer me with a bit of a beard so I'm more than happy with that!

[LoftyLottie]

Beards (not bushy ones) or stubble are essential Paul! Very sexy. Not keen on smooth male faces ;o)

[ummmm]

I prefer my OH cleanly shaven. His beard is mostly grey....just doesn't look right with ginger hair...

[Ankou]

shaving his head and letting his beard grow would seem the only sensible and socially acceptable solution.

[LoftyLottie]

Probably not. I quite like ginger men ummmm. My first love was a ginge.
My son has blonde hair and gingerish stubble (which I tease him about)!!

[ummmm]

lol Ankou....I'm going to show him that answer :-)

Lottie - luckily I quite like ginger hair as well.

[LoftyLottie]

For Sqad, I am now squeaky clean - until I get out there in the garden!!

i suppose there is 2 levels of 'homescruff'

theres the quick 3-stroke brush of your hair, not wearing makeup or jewellery and wearing a tshirt and jogging pants

and then theres greasy hair twisted at odd angles and stuck to the head, yesterdays makeup smeared eyes, and food stained tshirt and pants.

id say which one you go for depends on who you live with or who might see you ...i do the first most of the time, but have done the second if i know i am totally alone

[LoftyLottie]

I must admit Joko, even if I am on my own, I never put a food stained T shirt back on. If it gets stained early in the day and I am at home it stays on though!

Put yes there are 2 levels of scruffy and I am on your first level.

[RATTER15]

I just always look sensational!!


It comes natural to me :-)
