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".
Name her gangbang rat and make hear wear a wig. Problem solved.

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.
Nothing wrong with wanting your wife to stay in shape. I'll I'm saying is that sooner or later the looks are going to go and if you can't deal with that idea then you have problems on the horizon.

One girl I was dating for about 1.5 years she asked me if I thought she'd look good if she chopped most her hair off. I told her no and I don't find any girls attractive with a short haircut. Almost immediately after we broke up she went pixie lol.

Though she was kind of stupid anyways. She had dreams of moving to the UK and doing whatever she'd do with her worthless degree she got. I told her the UK sucks and I would never move there. So her pretext (which we all know is bullshit) is I was holding her back from her dreams. Fast forward. She is now married, has a kid and is teaching English in rural (her hometown) America. Lol. Women.

I agree with you there. Your previous post just came off as pretty harsh. I think the dividing line here is loving someone as they age and lose their looks naturally, versus being with someone who is apparently actively sabotaging their looks for whatever reason. His wife seems like the latter from how he describes the situation. Becoming chubby, totally unsuitable haircut, etc.

This topic is a sore spot for me because I put a lot of effort in to maintaining my appearence. Four or five days a week at the gym, eating right, etc. Then having to deal with women who feel like once they have the relationship they can just let things go. It isn't so much about them being a knockout. Just show some effort in looking good for your partner once the honeymoon period is over.

If appearance is that important to you then you need to make it very clear early in the relationship and be prepared to discuss it again many years down the line. People change, priorities change.

Yup. Now I'm pretty up front with the women I date that fitness is a huge thing for me. I learned the lesson from my relationships in my twenties when I tried to just go with the flow and hoping they would take the hint and go swimming, biking, or whatever with me.

I also get that priorities change, but if you don't take care of yourself physically then what base are you working from to meet your other priorities? Because I work from home and can pretty much set my own hours I know I have it much easier when it comes to gym time, but how hard is it to go even once or twice a week? I think it might be the complete lack of effort that bothered me more then anything. Do people not want to look good for their partner?

I agree with what you're saying Vimeseh, but over time your partner may have their priorities over looking good - especially as they approach 30-40's

Its just that your stance on relationships makes it hard to take what you say too seriously sometimes.

It's been explained to you many times. No need to go into it again.

I don't understand why this makes you pussyhurt bro, you've been pretty clear that a monogamous, long-term relationship is not something you're interested in. There's nothing inherently wrong with that position, and I don't think I implied that. It's just kind of like me giving my wife advice on her period. I would expect a "... the fuck?" look at the very least.
