If he thinks something is wrong, he works on it. He uses pimple cream which is uber sexy. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-so-take-care-of-his-appearance#post-1275604 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 09:45:55 +0000 pui 1275604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He takes care of his appearance by himself. He likes to look nice. That said, all he does is shave and get dressed in appropriate clothing lol. His get ready routine isn't anything fancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-so-take-care-of-his-appearance#post-1275596 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 09:43:28 +0000 Alivoo01 1275596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to make subtle hints to take care of himself, but he doesn't really care. Or he cares, but doesn't make the effort to do it aka make excuses. He'll go unshaven for as along as he can or until we're going out to meet up friends/go somewhere nice. He doesn't really watch what he eats so his weight is no bueno, etc. If I'm too straight forward with him, he gets sensitive and hurt so it's a catch 22. sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-so-take-care-of-his-appearance#post-1275368 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 07:47:55 +0000 doodlepoodle 1275368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yeah! I'm a total nag if we are going out in public. He doesn't know how to dres appropriately for situations, he seems to either over or underdress so I help with that. He's really lazy about haircuts, toenails and lotion...I usually don't nag on those much though. I married him. ;-) I loooooooove when he grows his beard out though. Since the semester is almost over I'll have my sexy mountain man through January! Woop woop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-so-take-care-of-his-appearance#post-1275347 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 07:02:28 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1275347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get him to put lotion on his dry elbows and he thinks that's "abuse". There's no way I can get him to wear certain shirts, so I've let that go a long time ago. He's not at all GQ and I'm completely fine with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-so-take-care-of-his-appearance#post-1275344 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 06:56:21 +0000 Beyond2 1275344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I knew what I was getting when I married and personally prefer a rugged man. My husband has a chainsaw in his hand 10 hours a day and always has a full beard. I'm sure you can guess how much he primps lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-so-take-care-of-his-appearance#post-1275335 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 06:26:52 +0000 Anagram 1275335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's pretty on top of hygiene. He's the type of guy that showers twice a day and has cologne at home, a small one in his work bag, and another in the car console (even though he doesn't drive anymore). Gets haircuts. The works.</p> <p>Pretty much the only thing we disagree about is that if like to wax the space between his eyebrows because he has some some errant hair there but he won't let me 95% of the time.</p> <p>He probably dresses better than I do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-so-take-care-of-his-appearance#post-1275333 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 06:20:23 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1275333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, he does more prep than me. Two types of mouth rinse in the morning. He even has softer feet than me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-so-take-care-of-his-appearance#post-1275318 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 03:59:40 +0000 sunny 1275318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been trying to convince him to let me give him a mask for years now to clear his pores but he won't let me! </p> <p>I just bug him about shaving. He lets it grow longer than I would like! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-so-take-care-of-his-appearance#post-1275246 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 00:41:09 +0000 lemondrop 1275246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, he does fine enough on his own. It's hard enough taking care of myself, the most I do is tell him to tuck or un-tuck his shirt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-so-take-care-of-his-appearance#post-1275234 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 00:21:20 +0000 owlteach 1275234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we're going somewhere nice, I help him pick out clothes. I have to bug him relentlessly to shave/trim, my hubby is a beard growing machine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-so-take-care-of-his-appearance#post-1275230 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 00:18:10 +0000 Mae 1275230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: lol I just made the appointments and told him about 5 min before we left that we were doing it, that no one would see him, that they didn't do polish on guys, and that they would rub his feet. He is pretty agreeable so he said he would try it. He actually enjoyed it! I took him to a place with a good massage chair and the foot bath and he said it was weird but felt good! Hah </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-so-take-care-of-his-appearance#post-1275176 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 23:01:01 +0000 lovehoneybee 1275176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly just cutting his hair and shaving his neck (with electric clippers) when it's getting too long. His beard sometimes gets bushy, but I don't mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-so-take-care-of-his-appearance#post-1275171 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 22:57:24 +0000 PawPrints 1275171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: I'm eager to hear the story on how you convinced your DH to get a pedicure with you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-so-take-care-of-his-appearance#post-1275167 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 22:50:15 +0000 avivoca 1275167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I generally don't care what he wears, but I do make him wear actual pants when I deem the occasion appropriate. But he lets his toenails get longer than is decent, and doesn't cut them until I complain enough. It's so gross. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-so-take-care-of-his-appearance#post-1275163 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 22:41:06 +0000 Beebug 1275163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going batshit crazy in my head right now trying desperately to not make/force my DH to cut his hair. Everyone and their uncle is commenting to him how amazing it looks long, and I am dying inside, and honestly not attracted to him at all with it long. I wish every day he'll cut it, and every day I hear about who complimented it, arghhhh.</p> <p>I don't bug DH about his appearance, I bug enough in other parts of his/our life that I desperately try not to comment on his appearance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-so-take-care-of-his-appearance#post-1275024 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 21:13:23 +0000 Mae 1275024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: Yea I'm the "dirty" one in our relationship haha. Unless we're going out or seeing people I generally don't shower on sundays… because Meh. Whereas my husband has to shower first thing or he "doesn't feel human"? Lol</p> <p>Also he's an accountant. It's not like he gets very dirty in life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-so-take-care-of-his-appearance#post-1275023 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 21:13:15 +0000 artsyfartsy 1275023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: Force! I told him he was going to get wrinkles on his face when he turned 30 if he didn't. In the winter his skin gets ashy and I finally told him I would hold him down and put it on him if he didn't do it himself! He hated the greasy feeling when it first goes on but it absorbs and goes away eventually. </p> <p>I have to stay on top of him because he forgets sometimes but he actually likes using it now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-so-take-care-of-his-appearance#post-1275019 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 21:11:14 +0000 swedishfish 1275019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: how did you get your husband to lotion on a regular basis? My husband won't even try it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-so-take-care-of-his-appearance#post-1275016 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 21:10:37 +0000 artsyfartsy 1275016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Lol DH showers everyday after work because he gets dirty and sweaty at work. On the weekends he wouldn't shower if I didn't make him. He says "I'm not dirty!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-so-take-care-of-his-appearance#post-1275005 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 21:08:06 +0000 Mae 1275005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband takes care of himself. He keeps himself in a better state than I do! (granted-- I work at home so yoga pants are basically my life). He's very clean, showers every day first thing, keeps his facial hair trimmed, uses my face lotion when his gets dry, gets haircuts every 2 mo, and wears nice clothes. He just likes looking nice. </p> <p>My only complaint is his feet. bahhhhhh so gross lol. He doesn't keep his toenails in acceptable shape, IMO. I made him go with me to get a pedicure once bc I couldn't handle it anymore haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-so-take-care-of-his-appearance#post-1274986 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 21:01:30 +0000 artsyfartsy 1274986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do a little bit! He has super dry skin so I make him apply cocoa butter all over every day and on his face! I occasionally pluck the few little hairs in between his eyebrows just to polish them up.<br /> Everything else I just let go. He shaves when he wants and wears what he wants. I pick out his clothes for him when we go somewhere nice but he prefers me to anyway. </p> <p>He has admitted though that he has gotten used to using lotion everyday and hates the feeling of when he forgets to use it. </p> <p>Do you make your SO take care of his appearance? Or does he do if on his own? If so, what? </p>
