Do you think you should look good for your partner?

[Kimmy]

I'm sitting in Manchester bus place and am debating redoing my makeup so I look decent when Matt comes to get me but at the same time I really can't be bothered.

Do you think you should look good for your partner whether they care how you look or not?

[Kyle]

You should look your best for anyone you care about unless they're completely comfortable with you looking a state

[wixard]

no

look good for you, as long as you stay hygienic you're fine
you don't need makeup to make your bf/gf value you or to find you attractive

oh ps, do you have a boyfriend??

[ToxicMint]

if your a jeremy kyle goer then yes always make as much effort to hide the face as u can, but for normal people no aslong as your comfortable how you are it shouldnt matter how you are to other people

[Kimmy]

oh ps, do you have a boyfriend??

How can you not know?!

The guy I'm seeing has seen me after waking up in the morning, so no matter how undecent I look - I know I look better than that and he can therefore judge from that and think 'wow u look so much better than when u wake up'.
So when I do my makeup I kinda look fab in comparison haha

[Absently]

i like to look good for myself and for my other half, just by putting on nice clothes and making myself look generally alright. i dont want to become a little nasty slob for either of ours sakes. i like to take pride in my appearance and i'd hope they would too :) although, don't really give much care if they see me without makeup, normally the makeup is just for me to make me feel good. i know my other half doesn't give a **** if i wear makeup or not.

[Johannes]

I don't think so. He should be happy with the way you look, you don't have to spend 2 hours doing your makeup, to impress someone else. Be yourself. Personally, I like girls who doesn't wear THAT much makeup. A little is ok, but you can easily over-do it.

Do what you like, aslong as you're happy with the result. :)

[!:random!:!]

tbf he should love the real you, not the make up you! so leave it LOL. did you not hear about the man that married this woman, she always wore makeup so he had never seen her without it. she looked beautiful with it on and apparently on the day after the wedding she had none on he woke and was terrified, he said she looked like a troll and divorced her and now he is sueing her xD

i used to wear makeup and my best clothes for the first year or so but he prefers me without makeup n sexy clothes (well, in public anyway) so nope i don't bother. I do try make effort to wear/do things he likes tho as long as I don't mind it and don't feel pressurised into it.

[MKR&*42]

I only make an attempt to look good if I'm going to a formal event/place or work.

Otherwise I don't care that much, i look like a state most of the time so my partner can cope with that too

[FlyingJesus]

I don't think it's a matter of SHOULD but why would you not want to

lmao

I like looking good but not for the benefit of anyone other than myself. When I look good, I feel good.

[Mrs.McCall]

It's an interesting topic because people get really offended. I know Davina McCall got a lot of backlash for saying that a woman should look good for a man not to cheat on her, to keep him interested. It was widely misquoted and caused a lot of heat.

I, myself, am in better and healthier shape when I'm with somebody. I think it's important to look good for your partner because I think a sexual chemistry is really important. When I'm not in a relationship, I let my looks go to hell. Some would argue it's a self esteem thing but I enjoy looking good for someone else, it makes me feel more attractive.

I always compare it to cooking. When you're cooking for someone else, you use the best ingredients and your favourite recipe and cook up a storm. But when you're cooking for yourself, you're more likely to have beans on toast!

HAHAHAHAHAHAA DYING IRL.

But nah. He should love you for who you are no matter what. Makeup or not. Dress or sweats. heels or flip flops. angry or sad.

I agree with this.

Also agree with this.

I think it's always nice to put in effort. I like the idea of them being able to see 2 sides of you, 1 where you look like **** because you've just woken up and 1 where you've put in a effort to actually look nice, maybe for a special occasion or just as a nice surprise :)
Expling; don't worry though, make-up isn't my kind of thing ;llllllllllll

[AgnesIO]

You should always look presentable in public; whether for your partner or not.

I think it's definitely important to look decent (when you're out and about so people aren't looking and judging) but you shouldn't be going to extreme measures to look good

Pretty sure most people only make themselves look good for their own enjoyment anyway and this is definitely how it should be!

[Zak]

I try and look nice for Laura a lot of the time. Some days I just can't be bothered though. She's the same :)

[Inseriousity.]

did you see that story recently bout the guy divorcing his wife cos she looks totally different without makeup. He'd never seen her without it on before and thought she was an intruder lmaooooo talk over overkill.

I think couples have that honeymoon period where they first start out and everyone does their best to look good then it wears off and before you know it, you'll look like you've been dragged through a hedge backwards and you won't care. :P

Apparently I've got better throughout my relationship with Max as I wore joggers and stuff when we first started going out so he told me I looked like a chav :(.

I like to look better on occasion.

[Sharon]

my ex didn't like me wearing make up n thinks i look better without n thinks i look better in the mornings or when im just in pjs because we were so comfortable n relaxed. i never used to want to wear make up either

now im seeing someone else i do my make up coz idk I don't feel comfortable n im trying to impress

[kfc]

[Phil]

I always try to look nice for my girlfriend and she's the same for me but at the same time we have days where we can't be bothered and just look like **** because we know the other person doesn't actually care lol. We are together four years now, not gonna end it over not making an effort with looks every now and again :LP

[FlyingJesus]
