How much do looks matter?

Guys, how wud u feel if ur wife told u to change ur appearance a bit (within reason, not like extreme makeover) such as buffing up a lil bit, better clothing, etc? Women same for you, how would you feel if ur husband asked you to make small changes to your appearance (again nothing big like a boob job or liposuction, but maybe a new hairstyle, or change of clothing). Would you feel insulted or hurt?

The way I see it, if your’e already married, a spouse has every right to ask for a reasonable amount of change from their partner, if they wish. Obviously you love who they are and everything, if there wasn’t an understnading between you, you wouldn’t’ve married right?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!?!?!?!?!

Re: How much do looks matter?

Im counting on my wife giving me a new fresh style ;)

How shuld a guy tell her wife that he wants her to do a bit more of herself..like new hairstyle, makeup and better clothing. Without her exploding into a rage of fury.

Re: How much do looks matter?

I think it's important for a husband and wife to look good for each other. I wouldn't be offended or hurt in fact I welcome my husband to tell me if I need a new hairstyle or when he buys me clothes because it's nice to see him expressing his taste.

Sara "reasonable" is a slippery slope, after almost 20 years all she asked is to get some hair transplant, which she thinks would be required in few years...I am really looking forward to that. But, Sara as you grow older together, you even enjoy the sagging tummies and sagging you know what. As long as its not driving the realtionship, one has to make sure that he buffs up for a change and its really not that odd for a couple to ask for that.

sara i think a lot of pakistani women, especially women of my moms generation completly sacrificed themselves for their family.....i think its important or couples to still try and dress up or their spouces. There is nothing wrong with wanting to have your partner put in the same amount of effort as you do.......hint to all the fat bald men, with pretty wives

Re: How much do looks matter?

^ My defintiion of reasonable is.. not expecting ur wife to look like Heidi Klum after squeezing out his children (heidi had lots , and i mean LOTS of $$ to hire personal chefs and work out n someone to watch the kids).. Not expecting ur husband t look like dino morea, no matter hwat :bummer: .. involving surgery and all that xtreme makeover crap

And a relationship built purely on looks, rather than respect n friendship will never last more than 2-4 yrs, so no chance of them getting to the sagging tummies n boobs stage

Re: How much do looks matter?

...ditto, i would add to this but i'm too lazy today.

Re: How much do looks matter?

anything she wants. i dont care.

Re: How much do looks matter?

She will have to accompany me to the gym :slight_smile:
I mean, I m working out for her. :snooty: She could do the same for me :smiley:
from 9-5 job :smiley: I ll pick her up at 5:30 from her job. At the gym from 6:00 till 6:45-7:00 (pm :smiley: )
Because we wont have kids for atleast 2/3/4 years :k: we could cook taking turns :smiley: and eat around 8-ish

Re: How much do looks matter?

^ And after u have kids? :blush:

Re: How much do looks matter?

/\ thats a hard one :hehe:
Well I guess she will have to take care of the kids for some time 1-2 years. We could start attending gym/spa at the weekends maybe after 6 months or so and after a year or two an au pair would be a good idea.

:o before some one starts spanking me inhere for saying SHE will have to stay in and take care of the kids, I firmly believe that a child needs his/her mother more then his/her father :k: but a dad should not forget his duties either.

Re: How much do looks matter?

I think its important for husband and wife to look for each other. I wouldnt get hurt or offended if my husband wanted me to change something about my appearance as long as it is w/in reason.

Re: How much do looks matter?

I would want my wife to workout and not sit on the couch watching TV all day.

Re: How much do looks matter?

^ And what if its baseball season :p

Re: How much do looks matter?

well then she’ll be working out on the couch :wink: :whistling :halo:

Re: How much do looks matter?

Ur sooo not an angel :rotfl:

Re: How much do looks matter?

I think it depends on how one expresses it.
