If you're in good shape and active then yea, sucks to be in that position. It helps that my wife and I have overlapping goals/values regarding fitness/aesthetics. I can only hope that, should she ever start giving up, that our relationship will have evolved enough that I'll be comfortable in sarcastically shaming her back on track.

You might as well come to terms with the fact that your wife is going to get ugly and you are going to be married to an ugly woman. It happens to everyone. The ugliest ones are the ones that go get plastic surgery and other extreme measures to try to stop it from happening. If your self esteem is based on the looks of the woman next to you, you can either find something else to accomplish or be one of those 50-year-olds dating 20-something morons whom no actual adult respects.

How old is she? Chopping the hair off is a pretty common move as women get older, look around and see how many are doing short cuts by the mid-30's or so. Still, shaving is a bit extreme I guess, but it was a big move for her too so maybe she hasn't quite found her look.

Oblig: if you love her it shouldn't matter, she would still be attractive to you!

Also what Brutul said, she's just going to keep getting worse and worse with age, while you become a dashing established mature man who feels the interest of younger women. Enjoy!

Some of you guys are pretty funny. He's saying he doesn't like her haircut. What's wrong with not liking something that can be changed easily and having a conversation about it.

I especially love Brutuls "Deal with it or be a loser 50 year old nobody respects". As if those are the only two options.

Ridiculous that it's perfectly acceptable for women to comment on things they don't like about a man but men are supposed to love their woman unconditionally lest ye be deemed a scumbag.

It's not perfectly acceptable for a women to complain to a man, we just accept it because we don't want to deal with the bitching bro.

If you were married you would learn, Costanza.

There is a difference between aging naturally decreasing your looks and not putting effort in to at least maintaining a decent body and an appealing style. Most of us in this thread are in our early thirties to early forties i assume. That isn't quite the age where someone has to accept their partner actively being unattractive.

If the person doesn't give two shits about their appearance now then they will be an absolute train wreck once they reach their forties and fifties. I don't think it's out of line for him to be concerned with this. Wanting an attractive spouse doesn't stop once we leave our twenties.

Between my first wife and second wife I had one semi serious relationship, like close to moving in together. She had this head of long, thick red hair and I was in love with it.

Turns out, I really was in love with it. She cut it and it was ear length. From the moment I saw it I hated it and she knew it and got super pissed at me over it. I told her I can't help that I hate her haircut. She asked if it made her less attractive in my eyes. I said yes.

We broke up like 3 weeks later.

My wife is about 5'1" and just under 120 and has a pixie cut and dyes her dirty blonde a platinum every time she gets her hair cut. I on there other hand have long dark hair and a big beard. I love her hair short and she loves mine long. That being said she went with a dark color a year or so ago and I found it to be very unattractive on her. I told her how i felt about it and that personally it didn't do it for me but that if she really wanted to keep it that I could accept that. Next trip she went back to blonde and has stayed that way. I often talk of cutting my hair really short because its a pain but she always comments how attractive she finds it on me. Communication bros it works...

I like pixie cuts.

I don't like medium hair on a woman for some reason. Really short or past the shoulder. Choose one! Make a statement!

Of course this applies to white womens. Black girl hair is fucking magic and I don't pretend to understand it.

Yup. For context; BrutalTM gave up long ago. I suspect that, to him, adults trying to maintain their health and attractiveness seems like a complete waste of time.

Indeed. After another day of thinking about it, I considered my good job, how all my bills get paid, and my kids are healthy and... decided I am going to say as little as possible about her hair or appearance. See, I know myself. I will think of a way to phrase it, "I liked your hair better long, but this is nice, too " and what I will actually say is " Sweet, we were JUST talking last night about using a new form of birth control!" or "I always wanted a lesbian roommate".
