Do you still make an effort for your DH/DP?

[charliecat]

Legs shaved, hair done, smell nice etc?

Always have legs and everything else shaved.

Always make an effort.

Dont want him to get bored of me

no

Nope
But neither does he so why should I bother!

I always have my legs/underarm shaved - but more for me than DH; I don't like to be unshaved.

I don't always have my hair done and often by time he gets home from work it'll be just pulled back out of my eyes when cooking, etc.

I always have perfume on - rarely i don't wear in.

I make an effort whenever we are going out. I don't look a wreck the rest of the time, but look more "at home" sometimes, especially by 6:30pm after a day of playing with 4yo DD!

At the moment don't have dh (separated) but still make the effort for me. So last week was manicure/pedicure, hair coloured, trimmed and always shave, hate airy pits and legs . But think I deserve pampering, as all we mums do.

DH thinks I should give up shaving legs, and I don't shave my pits. I cut my own hair, but try to do it reasonably often. I generally smell of sweat, or whatever I've been cooking.

Um, so I guess I make an effort in the ways he'd appreciate. If I got my hair "done" in any normal sense of the word and put perfume (and worse, makeup) on, he'd be unhappy.

Still make the effort every few days (mmm!) - but then he also sees he flip-side too, particularly since the arrival of ds. I love it when dh notices and compliments me, though (which he invariably does - must look a right state in between!)

Not for him, but for me...sigh, what a sad state of affairs

yes, i try and make an effort to look nice, but not all the time. he usually notices when i've made an effort. he makes an effort for me.

I do all that stuff for me really as do likes hairy armpits and no make up!He appreciates when I look nice though but we are both quite slobby at times although not in a stinky way!

should say dp not do!

I like making an effort when we go on a date.

For me, not him. If he appreciates it that's a bonus. I make an effort for everyone in my family - but not neccessarily to do with what I look like. We had kids - we both chose to do that - and now most of my/our energy is directed to keeping everyone fed, clean and happy.

DH fancies the pants of me anyway. So presumably I'm doing something right.

I always do hair, make up, nice clothes etc. That's just me, I don't do it 'for' anyone really, just for myself.

Though today I plan on staying in my pjs and not washing my hair or putting make up on. Not going out anywhere - having a day slobbing with the boys. The rest of teh week we've things to do so this is my only chance to be a pig.

I always have shaved legs, armpits etc butthis is just as much for me as for dp. Same goes for make-up and perfume. Perfume is a big thing for me, I started to wear it when I started work after uni as before then I didn't have the money for such luxuries . I'm not quite as fussy about my hair for some reason but if I straighten it or go to the hairdressers then dp always compliments me. I like dressing nicely and looking smart as does dp most of the time. He is waay more likely to iron something than me though.

Good god no!

I look a right old mess in the house. If I go out though its a different matter.

I make an effort - but for me.

Hmmm
I generally hack away at my own hair, and unless we are going out and I can be bothered it is never "done". I do wash it!And usually manage to drag a brush through it and put it 'up' - but 'up' as in out of the way rather than in any particular style.

Am often to be found slightly more fuzzy than woudl like to be...just laziness really...and get rid of it for myself cos it's uncomfortable being all prickly...

Don't think I smell bad, but never wear perfume.

DH can't stand make up, he tsks at me wearing very occassional lightly applied mascara (he's like a parent, can spot coloured lip gloss from 50 paces!!) Same with perfume, nail polish etc...fine by me!

Oh and DH doesn't notice when I do bother anyway...but has been known to comment on prickly legs ...

my legs are naturally hairless [smug]
apart from that we both do our fair share of slobbing in pjs / dressing up when appropriate etc
but we are a pair of soppy romantics and appreciate each others' smiles, pretty eyes etc even when wearing filthy gardening clothes.
And yesterday when I'd just got in from work, hot, tired and sweaty in linen trousers, hawaiian shirt and my old glasses, he told me I looked 'like one of those sexy marine biologists' and got all amorous.

So I do make an effort, but it would seem that he loves me even when I don't
am obv v lucky!

Almost always shaved legs, arms, bits
Always smell nice
Hair doesn't need much "doing"

I make an effort when we go out, but mostly we just like to relax at home in our "comfies" after a hadr day at work and looking after the wee fella

LOL "looking after the wee fella ". Is that a euphemism? Or would your other half object to the 'wee' I reckon that counts as 'making an effort for your DH/DP!.
