Is it an unreal expectation?
I admit, I do spend quite a bit of time on my appearance. Ensuring my hair looks good, that my makeup is just right, that my outfit is flattering. I guess, in my mind, I do it because of my husband. I want him to be proud to be with me, I want him to feel I am attractive.
Is it an unreal expectation to expect him to do the same for me? I can't understand why he would not want to try to look pleasing to me. Just because you get married it doesn't mean you don't have to shave anymore, or run a comb through your hair.
Note to men out there who may be reading this: when you take the time to look more appealing to your wife/girlfriend, you will definitely 'get lucky' more often.

LOL too true - nothing turns me on like a well-groomed man ha ha.
Don't know if any men read this blog, considering the number of comments you received. ;-) Although I do agree with you. :-)
Ok guys, if your reading this, I have the complete agreement with Jillian on this issue! :D
Define "get lucky." I think some guys just get comfortable, or think that they don't have to get all fixed up...as they already have what they want. Of course that logic is circular, and even flawed. The less you take care of yourself, the less of a chance you will keep what you have. Of course, if you are ever in the market for a semi-psychotic guy that knows hot to use a comb, give me a call, lol.
I'll keep that in mind. Plus 1 for Thomas, knows how to use a comb.
It was my ex who did that...
As soon as we were married, she stopped doing her hair nice, wearing makup and stuff, that is unless she was going out with her girlfriends...
tom, I almost view it like false advertisement. It all looks good until you get it home. It's a peeve of mine.
What!! I thought you loved the Grizzley Adams look!
But honestly, you've always spent time on your appearance, and you would continue to do so even if Charlie weren't around. Don't you think you do it for yourself because it makes you feel good? There's nothing wrong with feeling good about looking great! Plus, let's face it. Has he really changed? I mean, we both knew Charlie for years before the two of you got married, and I always remember him being a scruffy guy -- the kind who didn't shave during deer season until he bagged a buck. :)
To answer your question, I don't think it's an unreal expectation if it's important to you.
Jessica, when a man says to you 'can you smell my armpits from there?' he has let himself go. If you even have to ask if someone can smell you, it's time to shower. LOL
I have always tried to look decent, but, face it, back in the day, it was to attract the attention of the opposite sex. Granted, I have let myself go, a bit, too. I've put on a ton of weight, but I still try to look good.
Oh, I'm just dying! Point taken. I agree with you totally. LOL! Give me a moment to wipe away the tears...
