I used to slum it around the house. Once I understood he had a legitimate need for me to look nice, I started doing my hair, wearing make up, wearing nice clothes. He loves/d it when I would go out and get new clothes, so I did. He liked it if my toenails were "done" and he likes high heels. I try to do what I can to accomodate. (Not always practical to be all "girly".)
I am really lucky that my H WANTS me to buy nice clothes and shoes. (Well, in the past at least. I went out to get some clothes a couple weeks ago and his attitude was very different than from the past.)
AND, just to keep the fires burning on this thread--I have to admit I feel a little passive/agressive on the exercise thing--I think I would find it "easier" to exercise for the general dating populace than my H, who is out there attempting to philander.
