Does your SO's preferences affect your appearance?

[mrsgbmack]

I'll ask his opinion if we're clothes shopping but if I really like it and he doesn't I'll still buy it. Otherwise I don't think he's ever expressed an opinion on how I look except to compliment me regardless of how I look (dressed up or jammies). I actually am more vocal about what he wears but he doesn't always listen, which is fine, I still love him and think he's hot.

I generally don't worry if H likes what I wear/how I do my hair. When we met I had long-ish hair, and after a year of dating I got sick of it and chopped it to a pixie and he finally told me how much he loves shorter hair anyway. He's not a fan of a huge amount of makeup, but likes it when I wear more than just mascara on date nights. He also really likes that I've recently gained about 35-ish pounds, because he's a booty man and apparently is so happy I finally have one. Makes me happy that I don't have to be insecure about gaining a little weight. He also prefers if I'm completely shaved in my nether-regions, which I also prefer so win-win. I've just gotten a little lazy with upkeep recently.
Honestly, he tells me how beautiful he thinks I am about 10 times a day no matter what I look like. He's less about the effort for outer beauty and more about maintaining a healthy mindset.

Nope. I used to wear all the makeup and do my hair when we were dating and he liked it better when I left my hair naturally wavy and didn't wear makeup. I can get scary looking at times and he will look at me and tell me how cute and beautiful I am. It makes me do a double take in the mirror and go "alright alright alright". I wear granny panties during the AF weeks and he still thinks I'm hot. bowchicawowow.

H likes my nether region shaved completely bare, so I do this to please him every couple of weeks (or whenever I'm particularly horny and want to ensure that I'll get laid). Aside from that, no. He's terrible at even giving opinions, and will tell me I look great no matter what (which is actually really irritating when I need an honest opinion).

You're so lucky you are able to shave. I envy that! I have to go get waxed because I get the WORST razor burn.

This does drive me nuts every once in a while too! Especially if I'm picking outfits for an event like a wedding, I just want him to tell me what he actually thinks looks better. Don't just say "they both look great dear!".

I wish my husband had an opinion on how I look! Every now and then he'll tell me I look hot in a certain outfit, and I'll try to wear that outfit again. He also really likes when I wear things that he's bought me as gifts (watches, earrings, etc.) so I try to do that as much as possible.

I do think he'd have some strong opinions if I deviated from my current look. He married a blonde so it would be weird if I were suddenly a brunette.

I'm going brunette this weekend. The blonde is getting to expensive to keep up with and my hair has been super dried out. I haven't told DH but I'm sure he'd say I will look beautiful no matter what. I think it's time for a change. But I'm so scared lol.

Good luck!!!

Yeah sometimes. I make some effort to get dressed in real clothes on my days off work because I want to look presentable for dh. I never wear make up at home though, and I have my hair short because i like it. That being said, if he hated the way I dressed or had my hair I'd fox it because I want him to find me attractive. Is that weird?

I use schicks intuition. It works great and there's one for sensitive skin. I've been using it for yrs.

B doesn't say much about how I dress at all as far as her preference goes, but if I get something new, she will always give me an opinion. It is much more to make sure an outfit works than that she actually cares.

There are things that I know she loves which I wear at special times, but even if she doesn't like something, it is still my choice.

As far as makeup, it is all my preference. She could give two shits less if I wear it. She thinks it is really a waste of time and money.

H once asked me not to cut my hair short. I think this stems from the time that I cut my hair really short when we were first dating and I ended up with a haircut that made me look just like my mom, but not in a good way. I couldnt see it at first, but I saw some pictures a few weeks later it was bad. Really bad.

But I know if I got it cut a more flattering style, he really wouldnt care.
