Do you think it’s good to try and look your best most days ?

Not every single day, we all need a duvet day form time to time
But just in general
?

I deploy this phrase from time to time. "This is my face. Deal with it." (Do men have this bullshit to worry about? No.)

So I’ve really thought about all your comments and what I’m going to try to do going forward is minimum standards
So hair washed every other day
Next week pullout my entire wardrobe into the bed and throw away anything with holes in !!
Try and make sure I do skin care and nail care

I honestly don't give a hoot what I look like. I don't wear dirty clothes but I don't wear make up or do my hair everyday. I only 'try' (that's a bit over the top a word really) when I am going out for a drink or going to work.

I look the same most days. Kind of 75% done.

I do but that makes me feel better. It’s down to personal choice. I can put basic make up on in 5 minutes though and it didn’t take much longer to do my hair.

I have found that the effort I put into my appearance is directly linked to how I feel in myself. So I now always wear make up, have my hair washed and blow dried and an appropriate outfit for the day. It’s more like a routine now. That’s not to say I never leave the house in gym clothes and no make up, I do but wearing sunglasses!

No, I fully believe that my physical appearance isn't that important.

I dress appropriately for what I'm doing, but I'm not that interested in looking "my best".

Dp is attracted to me anyway, and I suspect no one else cares.
